It only took until the ninth Premier League game of the season but Liverpool appeared to finally wake up and realise that pre-season ended months ago and the season was underway. Having begun the weekend in 11th position, and dropped to 12th after results before their game kicked off, Liverpool found themselves in the...
I predicted a 2-2 draw with City this past Sunday, but was delighted to be wrong. Liverpool ran out deservedly as winners with a 1-0 home win causing much of the small blue portion of Manchester to fall into meltdown. Bernardo Silva & Pep Guardiola were outraged, the sports washing entity as a whole...
Liverpool 1 - 0 Manchester City - Man Of The Match
Joe Gomez
After the Napoli game, this display looked an impossible task.
He was utterly immense and showed every aspect of modern day defending. Pace, power, covering, and assurance in possession against a brilliant side could just see Joe return to the form that was...
Liverpool 1 - 0 Manchester City - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 9.0
Immense when needed, thoroughly dominated his box, and showed superb reactions to set Salah free. He’s been a rock this year,. The low one handed save wars critical and he showed why he’s the worlds best.
James Milner - 9.0
A brilliant performance, and...
Man Of The Match
Roberto Firmino
Was clinical, smart in possession, and the assist for Darwin was just what the Uruguayan needed before he came off.
Looked comfortable in the 10 after a slow start by the reds, and was the conduit for all good things in the final third. His work and intelligence was clear...
There's not point in even pretending that performance was acceptable. Even with a couple of days to process and rewatch the game, it doesn't become easier to digest
The Good
Darwin Nunez
Jurgen Klopp placed a lot of faith in Darwin Nunez when he decided to spend what could become a club record fee to sign the...
When Jurgen Klopp arrived at Borussia Dortmund, the remit was to increase stability and ensure survival within the German Bundesliga. Vast funds were not apparent, therefore smart recruiting and elite coaching were the key facets that saw tremendous success follow. That time period of approximately 7 years, saw many of the team (those that...
The highs and continual lows that have been witnessed this season (for Liverpool FC) have been quite staggering at times. If you listen to the various shows on Anfield Index, you’ll know that system tweaks, player attitudes and general form, have all been mentioned as attributing factors. A culmination of things have obviously had...
If we thought the international break might give Jurgen Klopp and his staff time to figure out what's wrong with his team, we were wrong.
If we thought Liverpool's players might return with renewed vigour and show an acceptable level of intensity and desire, we were wrong.
If we thought Brighton might struggle under a new...
Jude Bellingham is the most sought-after player in world football right now. Borussia Dortmund know this and it is no doubt why they now believe the England international is worth in excess of £130million.Â
If they managed to get such a fee for the box-to-box midfielder, he would be their most expensive export, surpassing the...
