Joe Gomez
Liverpool’s defensive injury crisis has hindered them in so many ways this season. Losing Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip has obviously hamstrung the defending champions in defence, not that you would necessarily know it from the goals conceded column. The break glass in case of emergency defenders — Fabinho and Jordan Henderson […]
The medium to long term losses of Joe Gomez and Virgil van Dijk and the continued inconsistencies in Joel Matip’s fitness record doesn’t only impact Liverpool in defence. Of course, regularly not having three defenders of that calibre is harmful to a team’s prospects of keeping clean sheets. But it’s the Reds’ midfield that has […]
For all the talk of the need for Liverpool to reinforce their defence with new signings, their most consistent players ply their trade in the area. Andy Robertson and Fabinho — previously a defensive midfielder who is learning to play in the heart of defence on the fly — have been the Reds standout performers […]
After taking a few months to settle into his new surroundings after his move from Monaco, Fabinho has consistently been brilliant for Liverpool since joining the club from Monaco in the summer of 2018.

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez will miss “a significant part of the remainder of 2020-21” the club has confirmed. Gomez was injured earlier this week while training with Gareth Southgate’s England squad. He has since returned to Liverpool and undergone surgery to repair a damaged tendon in his knee.

The Liverpool fan-base were surprised by Jurgen Klopp as he went for both Roberto Firmino and Diogo Jota against Manchester City, the jury remaining out on whether it was the right decision as the Reds drew 1-1 at the Etihad Stadium. Mohamed Salah’s penalty got Klopp’s men off to the perfect start after Sadio Mane […]
Liverpool go into the international break third in the Premier League table after a 1-1 draw with Manchester City at The Etihad. Mohamed Salah’s early penalty was cancelled out by Gabriel Jesus’ equalizer and the Reds — who had the fortune of Kevin de Bruyne missing from the spot, albeit from an extremely harshly awarded […]
Diogo Jota’s hat-trick and Liverpool’s overall performance were the main talking points from the Reds’ 5-0 hammering of Atalanta last Tuesday. But it shouldn’t be lost in the narrative that the English champions featured four homegrown, academy produced players over the course of the 90 minutes in Bergamo. Rhys Williams slotted in comfortably at centre […]
Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier with a hard-fought 2-1 win over West Ham United at Anfield. The Reds went a goal down early on but once again showed an incredible mentality to battle on and steal all three points. We weren’t at our best but the result is the most important thing, […]
