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 […]
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 […]
This coming Sunday should be a super contest between two of English football’s most historic teams. Though the Gunners are top of the league, the Reds are currently flailing in 8th position, thus making the game more of a standard Sunday. With the Easter weekend approaching, both teams will be hunting for three points, with […]
With the Reds now out of all remaining cup competitions, the race to qualify for next season’s Champions League is now all there is to fight for. We saw a couple of years ago how the reds could mount an end of season charge, yet this somehow feels much more different. That very campaign had […]
For the last few years, Manchester City would be the early season team compared to Liverpool in the Premier League title race. This early season looks like a one horse race (Arsenal will inevitably fall away), and the Reds currently languish within mid table mediocrity, though thankfully not as lowly as their blue neighbours, just […]
There’s not point in even pretending that performance was acceptable. Even with a couple of days to process and rewatch the game, it doesn’t become easier to digest The Good Darwin Nunez Jurgen Klopp placed a lot of faith in Darwin Nunez when he decided to spend what could become a club record fee to […]
Before the match, hosts Arsenal were in a run of form they’ve not seen for years, putting themselves in pole position to qualify for the Champions League. Nevertheless, they were playing against the form side in Premier League (and Europe) as Liverpool travelled to London to face the Gunners. On Post-Match RAW, Trevor hosted Dave […]
The juggernaut rolled though the Emirates and didn’t stop, thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino. But what were the key stats as the Reds got to within one point of Manchester City? Silence, then thunder Arsenal 0 : 2 Liverpool ▪ xG: 0.69 – 1.25▪ xThreat: 0.85 – 1.41▪ Possession: 49.0% – […]
Joel Matip Virgil, Fabinho and Alisson all could have won this, which showed the utter strength through the defensive middle. In a game where Martinelli was so dangerous, Matip was able to offer great coverage when they broke. Was dominating aerially throughout, assured in possession, and carried the ball forward with his usual threat. A […]
Against Arsenal, Liverpool had one of their slowest first halves of the season. It seemed like the Gunners had a real foothold in the game, and although they didn’t create much, neither did Liverpool. But we will not be stopped. No matter what you throw at these boys, they’ll plant their feet, grit their teeth, […]
