Trent vs Clyne: Where Does the Difference Lie?

It was, to my mind, a surprise to see Trent Alexander-Arnold start over Nathaniel Clyne at right-back for Liverpool's season-opener against West Ham on Sunday. Alexander-Arnold had only returned to the fold at the beginning of the Evian training camp, and when he came on in the penultimate friendly against Napoli just eight days before the...

How Gini Wijnaldum Can Evolve into the Complete Midfielder

Amidst all of the transfer speculation across the summer, there were suggestions that Gini Wijnaldum could leave the Reds due to increasing competition in our midfield.

Why Liverpool Fans Still Cannot Forgive Roy Hodgson

With Jürgen Klopp's confident Liverpool side coming up against Crystal Palace in their first Monday night fixture of the new season, they also come face-to-face with perhaps one of the worst previous managers the club has seen in modern times.

Klopp’s Midfield Dilemma Ahead of Crystal Palace Clash

At long last, there is genuine depth in Liverpool's midfield. The Reds are no longer praying for certain players to stay fit and there are now six or seven reliable, experienced figures who can be effective whenever required.

Joe Gomez and the Need for Patience

On Sunday, Joe Gomez made his long-awaited Premier League debut at centre back for Liverpool. Signed from Charlton back in 2015 with an eye to a future as a Liverpool centre-back, Gomez has so far followed the well-trodden path for youthful centre back prospects at Anfield - playing at fullback. This path has often been...

Buoyed by Optimism – Liverpool’s Season Ahead

It’s a weird feeling not really knowing how to manage your expectations as a Liverpool fan. I’m 38 - a seasoned pro at this. However, never in my experience of supporting The Reds can I remember a feeling of such enthusiasm surrounding the club. Not Then, Not Ever Even after Rafa’s fantastic 08/09 team came within...

Great Expectations – The Media Game has Changed for Liverpool FC

Liverpool’s 4-0 demolition of West Ham on the opening day of the season was more than just a win in many respects. To many, it will be seen as a statement of intent, of Liverpool throwing down the gauntlet to Manchester City that they are a force to be reckoned with. The Reds finished...

Tactical Analysis: All Shots Conceded in Game 1 vs West Ham

If you haven't got the memo yet, Liverpool won't be conceding any goals this season thanks to Virgil simply swearing at anybody who lets the ball come into the box and Alisson dealing with whatever small amount that Virgil's swearing fails to deter. https://twitter.com/babuyagu/status/1028711576071753729 This is great obviously for us Liverpool fans but sucks for me...
