Desperate times call for desperate measures, so is it time for Liverpool to give Trent Alexander-Arnold the midfield role he once shone in?
Another week, another bleak feeling of emptiness as a Reds supporter.
Last Saturday's 2-1 defeat at home to Leeds was arguably the nadir of the season to date, as the grim results keep...
Jordan Henderson has a new autobiography out. It will make for interesting reading.
Henderson is the most misunderstood and maligned player of the FSG era. He was bought for a position where he was rarely used. Kenny Dalglish envisioned him and Stewart Downing pinging crosses in for Andy Carroll but it never happened. Why? Luis...
The summer transfer window was rightly dominated by talk of Liverpool signing a new central midfielder, with their inability to do so proving to be unacceptable.
We're not counting Arthur, because I'm not even sure he's a real person at this point!
Aurelien Tchouameni emerged as a genuine target but opted to join Real Madrid, and...
Liverpool come into this game needing a point to qualify for the next phase of the Champions League. Both wins against Rangers were as expected, but it was the Reds' home win against Ajax which has allowed them a chance to qualify with a game to spare. Napoli are one of the form teams...
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
After the most uncomfortable of starts (those passes out from the back), he soon came back with a vengeance. A beautiful penalty save from Bowen was well deserved for a dubious penalty decision. Was pretty much untested apart from the odd moment.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0
A very assured defenders performance,...
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
The reds most reliable performer this term. Could do little for the opening goal, with the scorer having a clean shot to take. Was rarely troubled for the remainder of the half. Had even less to do in the second period.
Joe Gomez - 7.0
A more solid fullback could be what...
There's not point in even pretending that performance was acceptable. Even with a couple of days to process and rewatch the game, it doesn't become easier to digest
The Good
Darwin Nunez
Jurgen Klopp placed a lot of faith in Darwin Nunez when he decided to spend what could become a club record fee to sign the...
When Jurgen Klopp arrived at Borussia Dortmund, the remit was to increase stability and ensure survival within the German Bundesliga. Vast funds were not apparent, therefore smart recruiting and elite coaching were the key facets that saw tremendous success follow. That time period of approximately 7 years, saw many of the team (those that...
If we thought the international break might give Jurgen Klopp and his staff time to figure out what's wrong with his team, we were wrong.
If we thought Liverpool's players might return with renewed vigour and show an acceptable level of intensity and desire, we were wrong.
If we thought Brighton might struggle under a new...
Liverpool 2 - 0 Rangers - The CL Man Of The Match
Jordan Henderson
He was relentless, controlled and made great on and off ball decisions. He seemed to be more comfortable in the two, and was keen to stamp his authority on the game. His best performance in maybe two seasons, and this needs...
