Liverpool got back to winning ways in the Premier League after a reasonably solid 2-1 over Sheffield United at Anfield. The Reds went behind after more disgraceful officiating aided by VAR, but dug deep to come away with all three points. Alisson – 6 It was great to see our gloved Brazilian back between the […]
Goals from Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota saw Liverpool fight back from 1-0 down to beat Sheffield United 2-1 at Anfield. Far from their best, the Reds — who were on the receiving end of more farcical VAR decisions — eked out a win and moved level with Everton at the top of the table. […]
Liverpool made a solid start to their 2020/21 Champions League campaign with a 1-0 victory over Ajax at the Johan Cruyff Arena. It wasn’t the most convincing of wins, with the Reds requiring a strange own-goal from Nicolas Tagliafico to win them the game. Nevertheless, after a couple of scary moments at the back, Liverpool defended quite […]
Despite both clubs’ European pedigree, the last competitive game between these two sides was played back in the time of Bill Shankly. Much has changed since then. Nonetheless, football is still football, and tactics are the gameplans employed by managers to produce a particular outcome. These gameplans are often the product of the manager’s philosophy, […]
Liverpool got their Champions League campaign off to a great start thanks to a hard-fought 1-0 win away to Ajax with Fabinho and Joe Gomez forming a solid partnership in central defence. Fabinho had a particularly good game at centre-half while Joe Gomez also showed a marked improvement in his level of performance. This could […]
Jordan Henderson is an extremely versatile player, as we’ve seen throughout the entirety of his Liverpool career. Whether it’s been as the midfield anchor, as an energetic, box to box tornado of engine room intensity or — as we saw in his first season with the Reds, under Kenny Dalglish — as a right midfielder […]
Liverpool ended their run of three games without a win by doggedly beating Ajax. Nicolas Tagliafico’s clumsy own-goal was ultimately the difference, though Davy Klaassen hit the post and Liverpool spurned opportunities of their own in the closing stages. Here’s how the Reds rated in Amsterdam… Adrian – 7 It was far from a confident […]
An own goal from Nicolas Tagliafico saw Liverpool open their Champions League Group D campaign with a 1-0 victory away to Ajax. Far from their best, the Reds — who played a makeshift centre half pairing of Joe Gomez and Fabinho — battled their way to a win in a professional rather than purring showing. […]
It’s strange to think, but Liverpool’s second-best centre-back, after Virgil van Dijk, may well be Fabinho. This isn’t an article having a go at a clearly excellent, but still young and developing Joe Gomez. I’m a huge fan of Gomez as a defender. Still only 23, the former Charlton Athletic player is one of England’s […]
Let’s get the captain obvious statement out of the way at the beginning, shall we? Liverpool will miss Virgil van Dijk during his injury lay off, which, per reports, could last anything from six to nine months. If you could manufacture the perfect centre half in a lab, equipped with elite physical, mental, technical and […]
