Joe Gomez

Player Ratings as Liverpool makes it five from five against Spurs

Last season saw Liverpool’s visit to Wembley bring about one of their worst performances. Riddled with individual errors and defensive ineptitude, Spurs were able to beat the Reds at their own game and put down a marker of how far Klopp still had to take his side. Yet, it was a role reversal on...

Red Relationships and Lilywhite Hearts

Sometimes a relationship blows up and both parties end up locked in a contest to show the other what they could have had. The last time Liverpool faced Spurs in London the Reds were thoroughly and unmercifully dumped. Since that painful day, the main source of the drama, Dejan Lovren has been buried, resurrected...

Joe Gomez’s Road From Injury to First-Team Regular

From injury hell to being shoehorned in at right-back in Trent Alexander-Arnold's absence to staring centre-back alongside Virgil van Dijk, it's been quite the ride for Joe Gomez. It takes a hell of a lot of mental strength to overcome a cruciate ligament injury. Sitting on the sidelines for such a long period of time,...

Liverpool – No Longer a One-man Team

Back in January, Liverpool allowed one it's most prized assets, Phillipe Coutinho, to leave the club. At the time, fans wouldn't have been laughed at if they were worried, going into the business end of the season. However, the Reds kicked on, and as a collective reached the Champions League final for the first...

Liverpool Fans – Enjoy the Ride!

We are four games into the season and have accumulated 12 points from a possible 12 points, yet the doom and gloom merchants are out in force, criticising Jurgen Klopp’s team selection, his use of substitutions, his timing of substitutions etc. Liverpool had played their first three games of the season with the same starting...

Leicester 1-2 Liverpool: Man of the Match

We're only four games into the season but already a familiar narrative has taken hold in the post-match reaction to Liverpool's victories. Once again, the Reds were far from their best - the furthest from their best they have been, in fact - but they managed to pick up three points, to hold on under...

Leicester City 1-2 Liverpool – Player Ratings as Reds win four in four

Alisson Becker gave Liverpool heart-attacks with a moment of madness in the second half to gift Leicester a goal, but first-half goals from Sadio Mané and Roberto Firmino were enough for the Reds to see off a brave Leicester fightback to gain another three points, with a fourth consecutive Premier League win to start...

Is Van Dijk’s defence capable of underpinning a title challenge?

Liverpool’s £75m capture of Virgil van Dijk made him the most expensive defender in the world. Of course, eyebrows were raised left, right and centre given the size of such an investment; a good defender for Southampton but one worthy of such an outlay? Outsiders weren’t particularly convinced. Fast forward to the present and the...

Three On The Trot! – Key Stats from Liverpool 1-0 Brighton

Liverpool went back to the top of the Premier League with a tense but richly deserved 1-0 win over a stubborn Brighton side at Anfield. But what were the key stats from the Reds’ third win – and third clean sheet – in three games? De-Fence, De-Fence Did I mention the three clean sheets in three...

Reds Keep It Clean, Blanking Brighton 1-0

Another match, another battle, another clean sheet. On first observation, this one looked to have come with quite a bit more effort than the previous two; Palace and West Ham. After City dropped two points to Wolves, this match took on massive importance. Liverpool will need to get used to playing with the pressure...
