CL
Liverpool are currently ailing. It seems almost ludicrous to say, given they currently sit two points behind the automaton that is table-topping Manchester City, but ask any fan and the 2-0 defeat to Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League was not an outlier of a result. Not when Liverpool couldn’t take advantage of Arsenal’s […]
Who else detested that 2-0 defeat to Red Star Belgrade more than any other game this season? It’s rare that you get a Liverpool match where you end up angry at every single player, but not one individual could fly back to Merseyside with their head held high, after what was a display without positives. […]
Saturday was different. Jurgen Klopp’s men entertained a much different Arsenal than those they used to under Arsene Wenger, and they didn’t seem ready for it. Ordinarily, home teams tend to give Liverpool the ball and lock the space down around the box, but this new Arsenal demanded more of the ball and went straight […]
Liverpool’s Champions League campaign once again threatened to come off the rails, as following a 1-0 defeat in Naples, the Reds were turned over 2-0 by Red Star in Belgrade. But what were the key stats from what was an absolutely atrocious performance from the Reds? Attack Stutters As Reds Come Unstuck Liverpool toiled and […]
As they followed up a terrific game against Red Star by exploding into life against Cardiff, it once again became clear that Sadio Mané and in particular Mo Salah remain the key cogs in Liverpool’s attacking displays. The two players have seven goals each in all competitions this season, with Salah also notching three assists, […]
After nervously scraping past Huddersfield at the weekend, a reinvigorated Liverpool were able to turn on in the style in a convincing, thoroughly enjoyable 4-0 win against the largely helpless Red Star. The Reds were slow out of the blocks, but as soon as Roberto Firmino fired home the opener they began to ooze confidence, […]
Livepool’s midfield is holding us back. Our defence is looking as solid as it has done in years and we possess one of the most feared attacks in Europe but with a midfield that lacks any sort of dynamism or creativity, the Reds will struggle to evolve into genuine title challengers. It goes without saying […]
Liverpool’s midfield benefitted from £100m in investment over the summer with the surprise signing of Monaco’s Fabinho, and the arrival of Naby Keita – signed from RBL last summer. However, with the injury to Oxlade-Chamberlain, we’ve still had to suffer through games with Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner and Jordan Henderson in the engine room. As […]
With Liverpool on the brink of European glory while being linked to half of Europe the obvious question is; how much of a boost can the Reds expect in the transfer window should they return home from Kiev with number six? Will the top talents be drawn by the possibility of playing for the European […]
Allez, Allez, Allez! I’m tempted just to give them all 10’s.  OK, we lost the actual match 4-2, but one was a wacky own-goal and another a last second, questionable penalty.  Bottom line is that we didn’t look overly nervous as a collective and we had enough players with supreme performances to get us through.
