Panic at the San Paolo – Napoli 1-0 Liverpool

Panic! Our once vaunted attack leaves Italy with a whimper. The Ribena has run out for James Milner. Naby Keita left the pitch on a stretcher. Trent and Robbo looked gassed from the beginning. And City awaits... First Half All About Naby Each of the other Champions League ties were full of tricks, flips and goals galore....

Three players come away with credit Alisson...

Chelsea 1 Liverpool 1: A Tactical Breakdown

First of all, an apology from myself. I'm awfully sorry I haven't been able to discuss perhaps two of the most exciting games of the season - LFC vs. Spurs and LFC vs. PSG, as unfortunately, I have been without WiFi for the past two weeks. To make up for that, this is a...

Alisson Becker – Passing His First Big Test

Daniel Sturridge has rightfully gotten most of the attention after the nail-biting finale of the clash against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge - what a strike that was. One the best compliments for that shot would be that even Alisson couldn't have saved it. Liverpool's new Brazilian keeper didn't have a whole lot to do...

Chelsea 1-1 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match For Liverpool?

After a series of glorious opportunities went begging, it was beginning to seem that it would simply not be Liverpool's day at Stamford Bridge, only for Daniel Sturridge to single-handedly stave off the agony of an impending defeat and spark celebrations befitting of a victory. From Eden Hazard's opener onwards, Liverpool were, without doubt, the...

Observations as Liverpool and Chelsea share the spoils

Liverpool, courtesy of a wonder strike from Sturridge late on, rescued a point at the Bridge, a point they deserved considering the display put in. Going by the performance of Chelsea, not many teams would get points at Chelsea, so this could be a big point as the season progresses. The key observations from this...

Discussion: The Rival Player I’d Have at Liverpool

Personally, I love a hypothetical within the realms of football. They allow one to examine the possibilities and justify why their selection would be viable. Of course, these hypotheticals can border on the edges of insanity, almost irrelevance i.e. Which footballer would be able to the most kick-ups with a live chicken? (probably Leo...
