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 …
Stefan Bajcetic: Fabinho's Natural Heir?
Football fans can be guilty of going overboard about a gifted young player, talking him up and predicting great things, only for him not to match the hype and be forgotten about.
Anyway, speaking of which: Stefan Bajcetic is a footballer of unbelievable potential - one who can become as good as Sergio Busquets!
In all seriousness, the 18-year-old looks like a genuinely special talent, having enjoyed a smattering of appearances for Liverpool this season.
While some youngsters can look …

Alisson Becker - 4.0
Despite his struggles against Wolves last week, we must admire everything this giant Brazilian brings to this team. That was until the last game, where it seems, he has dropped to the level of his peers. Not all bad, but nothing that was anything close to his usual standard.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 3.0
With form looking more consistent since the World Cup, the hope was that …
Liverpool must address midfield NOW, or risk writing off the season.
Next Summer FC.
This has seemingly been the mantra for Liverpool in the last couple of years, "Oh next summer they'll do this, next summer they'll do that". This past summer was meant to be the summer we saw something of a rebuild. Instead, they signed one first-team player in Darwin Nunez. After the promise of significant spending Nunes and two youngsters were what Liverpool mustered, alongside the loan arrival of Arthur Melo. For a net spend of less than …
Gakpo a Good Start, The Ending is Key
The natural excitement around the signing of Cody Gakpo is both expected and understandable. Liverpool needed an attacker and they went out and got a good one, especially in what can be considered real value in today’s market. The Dutchman’s signing will give everyone around the club a boost and help reinforce the belief that the top four is a realistic achievement. There is a harsh reality at play though for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp, and fans alike. If they are …
Could Moisés Caicedo Be the One?
Jude, Enzo, Declan, and now Moisés.
These are the names that have been most notably linked with a January move to Liverpool, so with the transfer window now almost upon us, it could be that another signing is about to be confirmed.
Cody Gakpo has this week been unveiled as the Reds' new forward addition, with his signing managing to surprise just about everyone. Throughout the season we are continually linked with dozens of players, therefore just about everyone we …
Sofyan Amrabat & The Low-Cost Alternative
By stepping away from the Enzo & Jude propaganda for a moment, it brings the realisation that a more affordable midfielder may be needed this coming January. No single man (apart from perhaps John Henry) can be aware of the funds that are currently available, especially with Julian Ward serving his final few months as Liverpool’s Sporting Director. With that in mind, recent links to other more attainable bodies may offer a more worthwhile look.
Having watched the World Cup …

Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
The big man is back and had to be alert to some chances in the first half, but became more of a spectator the longer the half went. Got little help from his defence for their goal and was a steady influence amongst the edgy moments.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0
Took only a few minutes to show his world class playmaking ability, …
Why Naby Keita's time at Liverpool should be up this summer
Has a Liverpool player divided opinion quite like Naby Keita in the past 20 years?
To some, he's as good as Steven Gerrard, and to others, he's worse than Bruno Cheyrou (slight exaggeration, but you get my drift).
The Guinean arrived at Liverpool amid huge fanfare back in 2018, one year after initially signing, and was seen as the new midfield sensation at Anfield.
Alisson and Virgil van Dijk had come in as genuine game-changers in their respective positions and …
Liverpool - World Cup Round of 16 Preview
Time really flies when you're having fun, and so does the 8 minutes of stoppage time when any country is trailing in the World Cup. The group stage is now all wrapped up in Qatar, and it's certainly been full of surprises. Australia, South Korea, Poland, and Morocco all surprised the world and got out of their groups, while big names Belgium, Germany, Mexico, and Uruguay are all heading home. 7 Liverpool players hopped on a flight to Qatar, all …
