Liverpool 0 - 1 Inter Milan - Man Of The Match
Trent Alexander-Arnold
A great game for this special talent. His attacking play is undeniable, with two brilliant deliveries nearly seeing both his giant centre-backs score in the first half. Showed guile and control throughout on the ball, and was a constant threat in possession.
His defensive ability can no longer be in doubt. Great coverage, awareness and strength, against a very good European team. Was able to control situations with maturity and confidence, and is becoming a leader in this …

Liverpool 0 - 1 Inter Milan - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7.5
The dominant Brazilian made a great stop in the first half from Hakan Çalhanoğlu, off an Inter free kick. He was able to command the Liverpool goal throughout the first period, with more possession based player than danger to deal with. Had little chance with the Martinez goal, as the game became frantic.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0
A first half that really showed his growing defensive abilities. Clearly targeted in the first leg, he was …

Liverpool 0 - 1 Inter Milan - Match Report
The first half was a game of frustration for both sides, with neither giving much away through the opening period. Both Joel Matip and Virgil Van Dijk could have scored from tremendous Trent deliveries, and Alisson was alert enough to parry away a good cross come shot from Hakan Çalhanoğlu. These great teams appeared intent on cancelling each other out, which of course suited the reds far more.
The second half …

Should Liverpool loan out Curtis Jones next season?
Curtis Jones was named in the starting XI for Liverpool’s match against Leicester City. He then didn’t make the cut for the squad in the following three games. It may seem ruthless and a little harsh from Jurgen Klopp, but when everyone is fit, the competition for a place in the matchday squad is like never before.
Someone has to miss out.
Jones is versatile but he isn’t as versatile as James Milner or Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, for example. Because of …

We as Liverpool fans are not used to having proper squad depth. It might explain why we’re always so eager to pit players against one another and declare one the winner.
We did it with Kostas Tsimikas and Andrew Robertson earlier on in the season. Instead of marvelling at the fact we had left-back cover for a player many consider to be the best in the world in their position, there seemed to be an eagerness to declare Tsimikas was …

Post-Match RAW: Controlled Victory At The San Siro
It is always going to be difficult travelling to Italy in a knockout Champions League, even more soo when you facing the reigning Serie A holders Inter Milan, a side who rarely lose at home in Europe.
