Alisson
Alisson Becker I don’t really like the fact that our goalkeeper is getting so many man of the matches this season, but as long as we win, I’ll keep awarding it. Alisson is the best keeper this Premier League has ever seen, and the giant Brazilian just allows us to be impenetrable at times. We […]
Brazil released their squad for the World Cup in Qatar on Monday evening. The big news for Liverpool was that Roberto Firmino missed out, as Pedro, Richarlison, and Gabriel Jesus were chosen over the Reds’ frontman. Fabinho did find his way into the squad, expected to compete for minutes with the Manchester United duo of […]
Sometimes, all you need is one individual to make a huge difference in a struggling season. When it comes to selecting Liverpool’s best and most important player, the same four or five names will always be bandied around. Alisson leads from the back and is unrivalled in his position in the world, the same applies […]
Starting XI Alisson Becker – 7.0 Looked a little shaky on 15 mins as Spurs exploded with two chances, but did enough to keep the ball out. Was steady enough barring that. Had to make some good saves to keep the Reds in the game, and could do little about the Kane goal. Trent Alexander […]
Effective succession planning is the key to sustained growth and success for organisations of all types – and football clubs are no different. For Liverpool, I feel a disjointed approach to succession planning has led to the club’s recent on-field woes. The model FSG had developed and put in place at Liverpool was inspired by […]
Like a bolt from the blue, Fabinho arrived for £40m from Monaco. It was a deal that none of the so called ITK’s saw coming, and it was a move that the Reds’ midfield desperately needed. Not since Javier Mascherano had Liverpool been able to field an elite CDM, but in Fabinho that wrong had […]
If we thought the international break might give Jurgen Klopp and his staff time to figure out what’s wrong with his team, we were wrong. If we thought Liverpool’s players might return with renewed vigour and show an acceptable level of intensity and desire, we were wrong. If we thought Brighton might struggle under a […]
It’s international week, and unless it’s a major summer competition, I rarely pay any attention to the results and performances. The games usually revolve around occasions of no consequence, uneven match ups, silly qualification games, and a raft of ever-changing line ups. I checked on Monday to see whether the international break was over, only […]
Well that wasn’t good now, was it? Everton 0-0 Liverpool. For the fourth time in six games, Liverpool dropped points. The Reds now sit six points off the top of the table despite having had a very favourable run of games in this opening phase of the season. Liverpool have problems right now. They’re not […]
It was a frustrating opening to the season for the Reds, as they struggled their way to a 2-2 draw against Fulham. Goals from Darwin Nunez and Mo Salah were enough to scrape a point, but Jurgen Klopp will be incredibly disappointed with a performance that lacked intensity for large periods. But what were the […]
