Liverpool 0 - 0 Chelsea - PL Man of the Match   Ibrahima Konate Ibou is every inch the Virgil successor, and his 6ft 4 inch frame continues to defy his tender years. With a continual blockade representing his defensive style, his physical approach is giving strikers little room to excel. A good relationship is brewing with himself and...

On several occasions, I have considered the idea of Trent Alexander-Arnold in a midfield three. I was even asked by a fellow supporter recently why this was not happening, and I immediately found myself defending the logic in keeping him there, despite writing articles pointing out the plus points and why it could be...

Sunday afternoon sees the 2022 World Cup kick off, with Qatar due to face Ecuador in the tournament opener. With this unprecedented mid-season break now fully underway, it gives a moment to look at the Liverpool players who will be participating in the most controversial of competitions. Below I’ll be detailing the players with their...

The first phase of this enthralling Premier League season is now in the dust, and ridiculously, the World Cup in Qatar begins this coming Sunday. This whole international competition is a complete farce, from the moment the destination was announced, until the moment it ends. It’ll bring controversy, injuries, upset and fatigue. Yet the...

A vital three points was obtained at the Spurs stadium, as Liverpool breathed some new life into a faltering league campaign. All the headlines were naturally grabbed by Mo Salah, as a ninth goal in eight games ensured the Reds at least kept the top 4 within their sites. There were a few other...
