Much Maligned Firmino Missed In UnIntense Liverpool Loss
Let's face it, Roberto Firmino -- at least in front of goal -- has regressed as a player over the course of the last two seasons.
From a record high 0f 15 Premier League goals in the 2017/2018 season, the Brazilian's numbers have steadily dropped and he finds himself on eight league goals this season, the same figure he registered last term.
Of course, anyone familiar with the Brazilian internationals game knows that his on-field role is about much more …

Would Istanbul glory pip Liverpool's 2005 heroics?
The idea of this season ending in glory for Liverpool seems little more than a pipe dream, if we're being completely honest.
It has been a disastrous campaign for the Reds, with injuries depleting them and their Premier League title defence going out in a whimper. Not only that, but a top-four finish now looks highly unlikely, too.
If that Thursday night graveyard shift in the Europa League is to be avoided next season, it looks as though Liverpool will …

However, injuries and Covid robbed Jurgen Klopp of his No.6 for the best part of half of the season. To complicate things even further, Thiago’s involvement with the first-team coincides with the Reds having their worst run of form under the German …
