Return to Brighton: The Scene of the Crime

As the old saying goes ‘the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime’. It would be hard to describe Liverpool’s last visit to the AMEX Stadium as anything other than that, in what turned out to be a dismal 3-0 defeat earlier this month. The Reds now have a chance to exercise...

Brighton v Liverpool – The FA Cup 4th Round Preview

After the Reds' 3-0 loss away to Brighton two weeks ago, it’s fair to say that this FA Cup match up could be viewed in a couple of different ways. On one hand, it’s a chance for Liverpool to exorcise some of the demons created. On the more realistic hand, it’s perhaps another game...

Could Roberto De Zerbi Be The Long Term Successor To Klopp

I wrote previously how it could be a choice as to who leaves the club first, Jurgen Klopp or FSG. Given the underwhelming result against Chelsea this past weekend, I still think the big German could depart his post, certainly if results were to continue in an unsatisfactory manner. My hope is that the...

Tony Evans: John Henry Will Not Sell to a Repressive Government or “Unsuitable” Buyer

The hysteria over a potential takeover ramped up a notch this week. Rumours of a Qatari buyout spread like wildfire. Twitter was ablaze. The only problem was that no one whose knowledge is trustworthy seemed to know anything about it. Someone who is rarely wrong on these matters texted: “There is no buyer.” The follow-up message...

Who Will Go First, Klopp or FSG…

After the pre match press conference for the visit to Brighton, it became clear how much the internal issue within the club was effecting Jurgen Klopp. His annoyance and frustration were clear to everyone in attendance, as well as the thousands that have viewed his remarks in the days since. There is no doubt...

Brighton 3 – 0 Liverpool – The Post-Mortem 

‘I can’t remember a worse game. I mean all, not only Liverpool, I can’t remember’. Words expressed in Liverpool’s latest post-match press conference by beleaguered Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp. Not since the final days of Brendan Rodgers' reign have we seen such a continual poor showing from our team, with a drop off that is...

Lessons Learned: Brighton (A)

The irony of this weeks title eh? It seemed like Jurgen Klopp and his charges did the exact opposite as they delivered their worst performance of the season against Brighton in a game that left any top four hopes hanging by a thread. Fair play to those fans who stayed until the end as...

Brighton 3 – 0 Liverpool – Man of the Match

Brighton 3 - 0 Liverpool – Man of the Match Ibrahima Konate Only one man was able to stand up and be counted in this game. With a systematic failure now spreading all around him, Ibou was at least able to show the fight, determination and spirit that is yet to be drained from him. With a...

Brighton 3 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Brighton 3 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 4.0 Despite his struggles against Wolves last week, we must admire everything this giant Brazilian brings to this team. That was until the last game, where it seems, he has dropped to the level of his peers. Not all bad, but nothing that was...

Tony Evans: The Narrative Surrounding Naby Keita is Ludicrous

The best quality a footballer can have is availability. It doesn’t matter how good you are if you can’t play. Daniel Sturridge might have been the best English striker of the previous decade but he didn’t get onto the pitch enough. Harry Kane would not have been close to becoming England’s leading goalscorer if...
