Could Marcus Edwards Be the Perfect Backup Signing?

Could Marcus Edwards Be the Perfect Backup Signing?

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 our 5th choice forward. With a fee likely to be above £70m, there is a potential move that could suit both the player and more importantly, …
Dr Phil Diagnosis: Bournemouth

Dr Phil Diagnosis: Bournemouth

After a dismal day on the south coast where the top four became a major ask, Dave Davis walks through the Bournemouth game with Dr Phil Barter from the Under Pressure Pod to find a snippet of what the data told us and look where it went so wrong. We looked at the impact (or not) of the front three and how we simply failed to get Mo and Trent involved in the right areas. Bournemouth made a smart adjustment …
Fighting Front Three From Five: Bring It On

Fighting Front Three From Five: Bring It 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 be the only one remaining by the start of the next campaign. The United game may have slightly altered the conversation for many Red though about …
Nunez Firing: Second Times A Charm

Nunez Firing: Second Times A Charm

Nunez, Nunez, Nunez! The chant rang out loud as Roberto Firmino replaced him with a minute left on the clock against Wolves. Anfield has always known a player when they see one and the Uruguayan certainly has their backing. It’s been a mixed time for the former Benfica forward since his arrival at Liverpool and if anything, the break for the World Cup worked against him. This time though it looks like he’s setting down to his task again as …
Lessons Learned against Real Madrid

Lessons Learned against Real Madrid

A schooling, a hammering and absolute annihilation. Three comments I saw on social media afterwards, which are all completely true. What started to look like being another dream night at Anfield quickly disintegrated into an absolute nightmare for Liverpool as they were well beaten by an outstanding Real Madrid side. Even the most optimistic reds will struggle to believe there’s any chance at the Bernabau, whilst the focus will now quickly move to trying to salvage something from an awful …

Newcastle 0 - 2 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings

Newcastle 0 - 2 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 9.0 The monstrous keeper made some vital first half saves, one which was a brilliant one on one stop to keep the scores level. So quick off his line and really papered over some cracks within the reds shield. Was not overly busy in the second half as a sense of game management started creeping in. Late on he made a brilliant stop against Wilson, smothering a shot …
Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton PL Man of The Match

Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton PL Man of The Match

Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton PL Man of The Match   Darwin Nunez   From the opening whistle, you could see his powerful running was going to cause all sorts of issues. With a position that saw him start as the left sided forward, it gave him room to exploit a slightly laboured Everton rear-guard, especially in transition.   The intent and drive forward for the opening goal were pure Liverpool countering. With a forward line determined to keep pace …

Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker – 7.0 The reds player of the season, and so important to Liverpool in all games. Had a quiet opening period, as the reds looked to take the play to their neighbours. Was strong under pressure as the reds doubled their lead. Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0 Thrown into the mix once more, with an ambition to play him into form. He looked lively and aggressive in the final third …
Wolves v Liverpool - The PL Preview

Wolves v Liverpool - The PL Preview

In a period where we only ever seem to play Brighton or Wolves, we are once again tasked with bouncing back from a disappointing result. Despite knocking Wolves out of the FA Cup a few weeks back, the Reds were unable to progress past the Seagulls in the very next round. This weekend’s game represents a time when all domestic cup ventures are now behind both parties, with only a single-minded desire to climb the Premier League table remaining. After …
Why We Have to Resist the Urge to Push Trent into Central Midfield 

Why We Have to Resist the Urge to Push Trent into Central Midfield 

On several occasions, I have considered the idea of Trent Alexander-Arnold in a midfield three. I was even asked by a fellow supporter recently why this was not happening, and I immediately found myself defending the logic in keeping him there, despite writing articles pointing out the plus points and why it could be the case. There seems to be so many reasons to try him in a different position, yet I always come back to the same conclusion. Jurgen …
