Defensive Issues: Same Fears As Pre-Season

Defensive Issues: Same Fears As Pre-Season

Liverpool's Defensive Concerns Rise to the Surface The Reds shine offensively, but the backline raises eyebrows. There’s a great saying that a sharp spear needs zero polish. Liverpool’s forward line and their knack for scoring goals look promising for this season. However, concerns about the team's defence are growing. In the opening five league games, Liverpool can only boast one clean sheet, even with some heroics from Allison. Historically, all successful teams rely on a solid defence, and while it's …

Hendrick: "Reds Progressive, Aggressive and Front-Footed"

Post Match RAW: DOM-INATION On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi reflect on a very comprehensive and oddly comfortable 3-0 home victory over Aston Villa. As always, performances are assessed and tactics analysed as the game is dissected in detail. Dave, impressed by Aston Villa's attacking prowess this season, was even more enamoured by the Reds' ability to control the opposition through a mixture of pressing, aggression and tactical set up. Post Match RAW is live …

Klopp's Reds Unstoppable in 3-0 Rout of Aston Villa

Liverpool 3-0 Aston Villa: Salah Shines as Reds Continue Premier League Surge Salah Proves His Worth Amidst Transfer Speculation In a week rife with rumours surrounding Mohamed Salah's future, the Egyptian King put all speculation to bed with a stellar performance against Aston Villa. Jurgen Klopp's men, fresh off rejecting a £150m bid from Saudi Pro League club Al-Ittihad, showcased why their talisman is indispensable. Salah's second-half goal was the icing on the cake in a 3-0 victory that saw …
Liverpool 3-0 Leicester: Player ratings as Reds make more history

Liverpool 3-0 Leicester: Player ratings as Reds make more history

Liverpool have extended their home unbeaten run into club-record territory following a hugely impressive victory against high-flying Leicester. Without Trent Alexander-Arnold, Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Thiago Alcantara, Jordan Henderson and Mohamed Salah, the three-and-a-half-year streak was in serious peril. But the Reds scoffed at that suggestion, powering to victory with strikes from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino after a Jonny Evans own goal. Here's how they rated. Alisson - 7/10 A second Premier League clean sheet is welcome for …
Atalanta 0-5 Liverpool: Player ratings from a masterclass in Bergamo

Atalanta 0-5 Liverpool: Player ratings from a masterclass in Bergamo

Liverpool produced their best performance of the season so far and one of their finest under Jurgen Klopp in a rout of Atalanta. The Reds made a mockery of the Serie A side's fearsome reputation in the scintillating 5-0 victory, with Diogo Jota hitting a hat-trick to continue his staggering start. Here is how the Reds rated. Alisson Becker - 7/10 After a nervy start which saw a couple of tame efforts nearly squirm away, Alisson authoritatively maintained Liverpool's third …
Brilliant Liverpool Maul Atalanta In Italy

Brilliant Liverpool Maul Atalanta In Italy

Liverpool took a huge step towards qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League with a thumping 5-0 win away to Atalanta. A hat-trick from Diogo Jota as well as a goal apiece from Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah crowned a performance of attacking brilliance from the Reds. Had it not been for poor finishing and the form of Marco Sportiello in the host's goals, the English champions would have won by a bigger margin. From the offset, it …
Chelsea 0 - 2 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match ?

Chelsea 0 - 2 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match ?

Liverpool travelled to 'potential' title contenders Chelsea in their opening away game in the league and came out deserved winners in a professional, controlled performance. Liverpool made one forced change in defence with Fabinho being forced to line up in defence along side Trent Arnold, Van Dijk and Robertson due to injuries to Gomez and Matip. There were pre match talk about the drop in Alisson's form and how his performance levels were dropping to Mignolet's levels. Part of that prediction …
Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa: Who Was Man of the Match?

Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa: Who Was Man of the Match?

Liverpool banked yet another 3 points at Anfield after a very lacklustre 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. Until Mané put the Reds in front in the 70th minute, we failed to create any chance of note whatsoever, with Villa looking the more likely to break the deadlock with numerous dangerous counterattacks. A win is a win, though, which keeps our remarkable run of victories at home continuing along nicely. In goal, Alisson unsurprisingly started and played very well. A couple …

Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa: Player ratings as Reds lift their game to secure three points

Liverpool's hopes of ending the season with a 100% Premier League record at Anfield are still alive after they sparked themselves into life against Aston Villa. It was a lethargic, disjointed display for over an hour, but the slickest move of the match brought a breakthrough for Sadio Mane before Curtis Jones' first league goal confirmed defeat for Villa. Here's how the Reds rated: Alisson - 8 As ever, Alisson made a number of hazardous efforts that came his way …
