Liverpool Midfield: Two Steps Forward ...
It’s okay for those people to admit to themselves or others now the dust has finally settled on Sunday. As one scroll of social media would have told you, not too different for most weeks truth be told, there was a real nervousness around the midfield that Jurgen Klopp had selected. There wasn’t too many that had even predicted Jordan Henderson, Fabinho and Harvey Elliott would start but by full-time, the doubters had been well and truly silenced. The trio …
Curtis Jones Should Be Next In Line
On so many occasions this season we have seen our Liverpool team stumble to either a disappointing or disastrous result. The recent dropping of Naby Keita has clearly left the Guinean international staring adoringly at the exit door. We know that both he and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be leaving (when their contracts expire in the summer), therefore it is understandable that he may be feeling less than committed.
To continue to trust in the legs of a 37-year-old Milner …
Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Liverpool - The Post-Mortem
Yesterday I ordered a new thermos to take with me when I am out and about, to add to the three or four vessels of insulated coffee that accompany me on my varying journeys. At some point during the second half, I started checking the different foods and soups I could place within my 750ml companion, with Amazon primed to deliver my order on Sunday. That was the highlight of this particular game for me, in a re-run of the …
Lessons Learned In Win Over Everton
Ahhh ... I love the smell of a derby victory in the morning! Probably like most Reds who’ve been sampling every bit of content they can, Liverpool aren’t fully back but you can relive the key movements from the match again without your eyes closed. The scoreline didn’t flatter them and whilst there will be tougher games than this, none if any maybe as savoured. Bragging rights are secure, chanting commenced, we laughed with Robbo and all whilst Jurgen Klopp’s …
Mason Mount: Ideal Summer Midfield Addition for Liverpool?
We are hopefully about to witness a significant rebuild of a Liverpool midfield that has needed major tweaks for some time now.
In hindsight, last summer simply had to see at least one big signing made in that area, but a mixture of FSG's unwillingness to spend and Jurgen Klopp's loyalty prevented it from happening.
Things have gone from bad to worse in the middle of the park this season, with the decline of Fabinho and Jordan Henderson particularly galling …
Keita Departure: Minimum Three For The Summer
…
Thiago a shining light and continued key man for Liverpool
Even when Liverpool are producing one of their ugliest and most disappointing seasons in recent memory, Thiago still manages to be beautiful.
In a campaign littered with both team and individual deficiencies, the Spaniard continues to shine and do his best to alter the Reds' fortunes.
There are some who may lazily look at Thiago and claim that he is part of the problem, just as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson now undoubtedly are, but this couldn't be further from the …
Is This the End for Jordan Henderson?
During the Jürgen Klopp era at Liverpool Football Club, the fanbase has been able to explore a wide range of emotions. The outset saw the club relieved and optimistic about what would follow the charismatic German through the door. The middle brought an unbelievable amount of success and silverware, that had been lacking for too long. This current period now may mark the end of what has been a glorious spell, and with it take a player that has held …
Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - The FA Cup Post-Mortem
After cleaning house in the domestic cup stakes last season, the Reds bowed out to their recent south coast tormentors, thereby tumbling out of the prestigious FA Cup. Though this was a far better output than that which we saw in the league recently (3-0 loss), it still shows that this group is veering from their required path, with much work needed to get back on track.
When looking at the starting line-up, it’s now abundantly clear that he has …
Return to Brighton: The Scene of the Crime
As the old saying goes ‘the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime’. It would be hard to describe Liverpool’s last visit to the AMEX Stadium as anything other than that, in what turned out to be a dismal 3-0 defeat earlier this month. The Reds now have a chance to exercise those demons in the fourth round of the FA Cup this weekend, but travelling fans may well be making the journey in hope rather than expectation. …
