How Europa Is a Way to Ease Players Out Of The First Team…
With Thursday night football now in our near future, our regeneration has barely begun, therefore I’ll be happy to see how new and existing pieces are moved around the board, as we bid farewell to those that eventually became mere pawns. Certain individuals still stay and fight for their previously exclusive first team shirts, which creates a situation that will need to be carefully navigated next year.
As a took a semi interested view of Thursday night’s game at Old …
Who Should Be Liverpool’s Rivals Next Season…
Manchester City have been the most prominent domestic rival for Liverpool, essentially since Jürgen Klopp took the helm at Anfield. Despite a much-needed improvement process (after the Brendan Rodgers regime), it became clear (very quickly) that Pep Guardiola and his financial doping Blues, would become the key adversary for our German manager. The previous four seasons have seen the Reds finish as runners up to the Etihad team on two occasions, winners once, whilst finishing a disappointing 3rd due to …
Arsenal and Liverpool: Different Shades of Football Pain
Arsenal fans might think they know how Liverpool fans felt, but they don’t. They can’t.
During the 2018/19 campaign, the Reds lost once. They won 30 of their 38 matches and ended the season with a nine-match winning run. Jurgen Klopp’s side amassed 97 points and conceded the fewest number of goals (22) yet still finished a point behind Manchester City.
For a brief moment on the final day, the title was returning to Anfield. Glenn Murray put Brighton ahead …
Tony Evans: Should We Change The Players or The Manager?
The winter of Jude Bellingham is over. The summer of discontent has begun.
There are so many things wrong with Liverpool Football Club that it’s hard to know where to begin. Letting the Bellingham speculation get out of control was a bad mistake.
Killing it off this week is another error. Rather than suggesting the money would be better spent elsewhere — it probably will be — it may have been more prudent to keep up the fallacy until Manchester …
Dr Phil’s Diagnosis: Arsenal
After an absolute rollercoaster of a game at Anfield where a point didn’t quite seem a fair reward for a lesser-famed comeback on Easter Sunday, Dave Davis walks through the Arsenal match with Dr Phil Barter from the Under Pressure Pod to find a snippet of what the data told us and look at all the ups and downs. We looked at the effect and timing of the Trent tweak, the positives we can take going forward and . It …
Lessons Learned: Arsenal
What a game to be at, what an atmosphere to be a part of and how we didn’t win will be the question all Reds are asking this week. Liverpool came from 2-0 down against the side who are top of the league and as Jurgen Klopp put it, should have won. The only sadness was a game that had literally everything for the neutral including an elbow from an official in the mix had to end. A nod to …
Liverpool 2 - 2 Arsenal - The Post-Mortem
The best and worst of our turbulent season was presented to the world on Easter Sunday, as the once mighty Reds capitulated before a shell-shocked crowd, before being driven to an emphatic home draw by the same Anfield support. The game should have had a winner, with Liverpool desperate to land the knockout blow in the final minutes. This is despite the visitors pummelling Jürgen Klopp’s men for most of the first half.
Rating this team (this season) is perhaps …
Liverpool 2 - 2 Arsenal- PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 6.0
Two close range efforts left the giant keeper little chance, as the reds gave away the first period of the game. A solid showing all around. Was not his best display with some unsure handling.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0
The best and worst of our much talked about fullback. He was targeted early on, with some high positions leaving him exposed to Martinelli’s pace. The double six endeavour seemed uncomfortable at times, leaving Ibou too …
Liverpool 2 - 2 Arsenal - PL Man of the Match
Liverpool 2 - 2 Arsenal - PL Man of the Match
Ibrahima Konaté
A monster of a defender that allows so much of our flaws to be covered. Had to cover an entire side of the defence at times, with the tactical setup making the home side uncomfortable.
His physicality and desire to engage the opposition kept the reds in the game, especially when breaks came around.
The second half was about being alert and focused, which is something that …
Tony Evans: Anfield Appears to be Paralysed
None of what we are watching is acceptable. The performance against Manchester City was appalling. Everyone knows that Liverpool cannot compete with the Etihad’s spending. The players can work as hard as Pep Guardiola’s team, though.
They didn’t.
Chelsea wasn’t much better. Jurgen Klopp talked about “small steps” forward. Didn’t see that myself. Chelsea are crap. Liverpool were worse.
This will take more than one transfer window to fix. But the biggest concern is that it’s not an issue of …
