When the sun does formally set on Bobby Firmino’s reign as our number nine, only Mo Salah will remain at Anfield from the OG front three under Jurgen Klopp. With recent chat around Darwin Nunez’s lack of minutes and Diogo Jota’s return to form including his winner on Sunday, the talk around our forwards...
Christ, that shaved a few years off all our lives eh? What looked set to be a more than comfortable afternoon at Anfield nearly turned into a day of huge frustration. Fortunately, Diogo Jota via a cushioned Pedro Porro assists had other ideas for this one as Anfield shook at the end in a...
Alisson Becker - 6.0
Our player of the season, he was always going to be vital to a positive result. Could do nothing for the opening goal, whilst making a key stop shortly thereafter. Was given little chance for the Son goal or the equalizer, but was able to make crucial moments count.
Trent Alexander Arnold...
Who is the most disappointing midfielder for Liverpool during the Jurgen Klopp era? The obvious answer is Naby Keita. But for me it’s been Thiago.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performances over the last few games and especially at West Ham have shown the damage direct passing to the forwards can do. Everyone’s favourite floating full back has...
Both Liverpool and West Ham headed into this game in fine recent form, despite both enduring difficulties in their own domestic campaigns. This was an entertaining midweek battle, one which allowed a cut and thrust that shone under the London Stadium's lights. There could and probably should have been more goals, yet for Jürgen...
Blimey, Jurgen Klopp must be feeling like a kid in a sweet shop with his forwards.
Even with Bobby Firmino on the treatment table, Liverpool's gaffer has Mo Salah, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo all scrapping for three spots in the attack.
"The ticket into this team must be and will be...
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Shook off whatever issues he had before the weekend, in order to resume his duties in goal. Had to make some smart saves through the opening period as Leeds were able to break away too often. He could do little to stop Leeds's early second-half goal, as Ibou allowed a free...
After a dismal day on the south coast where the top four became a major ask, Dave Davis walks through the Bournemouth game with Dr Phil Barter from the Under Pressure Pod to find a snippet of what the data told us and look where it went so wrong. We looked at the impact...
It still seems almost crazy when you think back to Sunday’s events. Seven goals and more importantly four of Liverpool’s senior forwards found themselves on the scoresheet. With Bobby Firmino’s departure being announced this week, a lot of the reminiscing has quite rightly been about the original front three and how Mo Salah will...
In a recent article from a few weeks back, I stated that I saw Cody Gakpo as a return to the false nine. I get the feeling that the ultra-attacking system (that was in mind last summer), is now making way for a more trusted and positional savvy system. As I have said before,...
