Liverpool's PGMOL Complaint: The Gakpo-Mings Controversy
In the wake of a contentious 1-1 draw between Liverpool and Aston Villa, Anfield officials are seeking explanations from the Professional Game Match Officials (PGMOL). Central to their enquiries are two pivotal incidents involving Villa defender Tyrone Mings and Liverpool’s Dutch talent, Cody Gakpo.

Mings' Encounter with Gakpo: A Controversial Clash or a Missed Red Card?
In a recent face-off that has left many bewildered, Tyrone Mings was fortunate to skirt around an outright dismissal after his notably controversial challenge on Cody Gakpo. The heated encounter occurred during the 1-1 standoff with Aston Villa, a match filled with excitement...
When the sun does formally set on Bobby Firmino’s reign as our number nine, only Mo Salah will remain at Anfield from the OG front three under Jurgen Klopp. With recent chat around Darwin Nunez’s lack of minutes and Diogo Jota’s return to form including his winner on Sunday, the talk around our forwards...
Who is the most disappointing midfielder for Liverpool during the Jurgen Klopp era? The obvious answer is Naby Keita. But for me it’s been Thiago.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performances over the last few games and especially at West Ham have shown the damage direct passing to the forwards can do. Everyone’s favourite floating full back has...
Patience is something that is important in football and something that has increasingly disappeared in the modern game.
Players are written off too soon, managers are sacked before they get a chance to prove their worth and everything is about the here and now.
This certainly applied with Cody Gakpo in his early weeks in a...
Both Liverpool and West Ham headed into this game in fine recent form, despite both enduring difficulties in their own domestic campaigns. This was an entertaining midweek battle, one which allowed a cut and thrust that shone under the London Stadium's lights. There could and probably should have been more goals, yet for Jürgen...
Alisson Becker - 7.0
The only man we want to see in our goal, the giant Brazilian is irreplaceable. Was perhaps unsighted for the opening goal, yet it was a shot he would usually deal with. His handling was solid through a frantic first half. The second half was about being alert and strong against...
I’ve been looking at various players that Liverpool could look to recruit this summer, and more recently, those could replace the role of Diogo Jota within the squad. If reports are to be believed, Newcastle are currently hovering over the Portuguese forward, and it would not be absurd to see us cash in on...
It still seems almost crazy when you think back to Sunday’s events. Seven goals and more importantly four of Liverpool’s senior forwards found themselves on the scoresheet. With Bobby Firmino’s departure being announced this week, a lot of the reminiscing has quite rightly been about the original front three and how Mo Salah will...
In a recent article from a few weeks back, I stated that I saw Cody Gakpo as a return to the false nine. I get the feeling that the ultra-attacking system (that was in mind last summer), is now making way for a more trusted and positional savvy system. As I have said before,...
