Fabinho: Likely The Final Chapter At Anfield
It’s been a difficult season for Fabinho and it shows little signs of changing anytime soon. His exclusion from the squad for Wolves was confirmed as down to illness by Jurgen Klopp and truth be told, there were few if any Reds concerned by his absence. It was practically impossible to make an argument for the Brazilian being part of Liverpool’s starting line up at Molinuex, regardless of what later unfolded. There’s a growing belief that like many of his …
Thiago a shining light and continued key man for Liverpool
Even when Liverpool are producing one of their ugliest and most disappointing seasons in recent memory, Thiago still manages to be beautiful.
In a campaign littered with both team and individual deficiencies, the Spaniard continues to shine and do his best to alter the Reds' fortunes.
There are some who may lazily look at Thiago and claim that he is part of the problem, just as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson now undoubtedly are, but this couldn't be further from the …
Klopp is taking risks with Bellingham obsession
The transfer window has closed and Liverpool have not addressed their biggest need.
The Reds entered this season very obviously short of quality in midfield and with significant question marks hanging over each of the existing midfielders.
Thiago Alcantara is an incredible footballer but he is 31, soon to be 32, years of age and for the majority of his career has had injury problems.
Fabinho struggled toward the end of last season and has also had injury problems but …
Why Fabinho Should Be the Short and Long Term Centre Back Option
With the demoralising news of Ibrahima Konaté now being side-lined for a few weeks, it leaves Jürgen Klopp with a real decision to make. We already know that Virgil will be missing for most of February, therefore that leaves a centre half group comprising Joël Matip, Joe Gomez, Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams. With so much uncertainty within the rest of the team, it surely makes a recent midfield omission a prominent avenue by which to explore.
In the 2020/21 …
Is This the End for Jordan Henderson?
During the Jürgen Klopp era at Liverpool Football Club, the fanbase has been able to explore a wide range of emotions. The outset saw the club relieved and optimistic about what would follow the charismatic German through the door. The middle brought an unbelievable amount of success and silverware, that had been lacking for too long. This current period now may mark the end of what has been a glorious spell, and with it take a player that has held …
Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - The FA Cup Post-Mortem
After cleaning house in the domestic cup stakes last season, the Reds bowed out to their recent south coast tormentors, thereby tumbling out of the prestigious FA Cup. Though this was a far better output than that which we saw in the league recently (3-0 loss), it still shows that this group is veering from their required path, with much work needed to get back on track.
When looking at the starting line-up, it’s now abundantly clear that he has …
Lesson Learned: Brighton (FA Cup)
There’s a great quote from parenthood that goes ‘you can’t go through life allowing pain to dictate how you behave’. Clearly the scriptwriters for this don’t know the effects that Liverpool can have on people. There were a few positives to take from a return to the scene of the crime at The Amex, but it was hard to feel anything but deflated when Brighton’s second set-piece goal and injury time winner hit the net. We look at the lessons …
Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - The FA Cup Man Of The Match
Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - The FA Cup Man Of The Match
Stefan Bajčetić
With a new long-term contract secured this week, it is a positive step for an underwhelming midfield. His composure, reading of the game, intelligence, and decision making is far beyond his tender years.
In the middle of two controlling players, he offered stability and a shield to a defence that needs that screen right now. His standing above Fabinho & Henderson right now is telling …
Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - FA Cup Player Ratings
Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - FA Cup Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Let down by his team being unable to win the game. Could do very little for both goals concerned, and what he did accomplish, he did so with ease. Not the issue at all.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0
We need this kind of energy and want in his performances, certainly when the final third production is lacking. He was far from great, but there seemed a …
Liverpool 0 - 0 Chelsea - The Post-Mortem
In terms of the result and path to get there, Liverpool were able to look more defensively stable, which resulted in a clean sheet. With only one point gained from a very uneventful game, it appears that this is the stodgy kind of performance that the Reds wanted in order to start regaining control of games.
When looking at the starting line-up, it really was a case of putting out a team that deserved to start. Fabinho looks slow and …
