After Liverpool's poor result against Augsburg last week Emre Can is back in the supporters' bad books and has once again been criticised for his performances, some of which I'll admit haven't been up to standard. The criticism he is getting though at the minute is not warranted. As I've already stated Can has...
Inconsistency has been a hallmark of Liverpool's performances since the start of Brendan Rodgers' tenure in 2012, but why do Liverpool still struggle to put together a string of successive good performances, or put a small handful of fantastic performances in between a sandwich of dull, slow and rather boring ones?
There is no clear answer...
Liverpool resumed their Europa League campaign with a goalless draw in the first leg of their round of 32 tie against Augsburg in Germany. The performance was nowhere near as competent as the one on Sunday, and in the end, the Reds had to be content with a share of the spoils. The tie...
Liverpool and goals do not go together this season. Liverpool and goals do not seemingly like each other. Liverpool and mobility up top absolutely hate each other.
But everything changes when even Kolo scores.
This is how the Reds fared today:
Simon Mignolet (6.5) - Relatively nothing much to do this game. The hardcore pessimists would say...
When it comes to Liverpool Football Club, I’m forever the optimist. A glass half full sort of person clinging to an undying faith that the football powerhouse we once were, we will be again. One day. Hopefully. Okay, I’m mostly the optimist.
But there are times when it’s necessary to take a step back, drop...
No. The end.
The Liverpool midfield is one area of the team that is difficult to judge. Individually many fans would say the players have enough about them to warrant a place in the Liverpool squad but it's as a collective that questions are asked, and rightly so.
Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Joe Allen, Lucas and...
It's fair to say that much of Liverpool's enthralling 5-4 victory against Norwich City will be forgotten, given time.
Steven Naismith's debut goal will probably be solely remembered by Everton fans, whilst Roberto Firmino's mouthwatering performance won't be forgotten, should he continue to make good on his obvious talent. And of course, nobody will forget...
I am finally sitting down to write to try and rate our players after that stupendously crazy game against Norwich City which oscillated more than a yo-yo would. This is how our beloved Reds did according to me *after I caught my breath back*
Simon Mignolet - 5 A nervy afternoon for the keeper as...
We've been collecting Pressing Stats since 2013 on Anfield Index and after after attending the game at Anfield I expected a reasonable amount of pressing taking into account the hard work done against Arsenal in midweek. This was pretty much spot on against Manchester United, Liverpool's pressing effort wasn't one of the best performances of the season...
In many ways, he was the face of the Brendan Rodgers era. A 15 million pound signing from Rodgers's former club in his very first transfer window in charge, Joe Allen was expected to be the man who took some of the burden off Stevie Gerrard, as Liverpool embarked on a new era.
But after...
