Manchester City 3 – 2 Liverpool – League Cup Post-Mortem 

It was a topsy turvy game that in all honesty should have been away from us by half time. In the end, the result was a fair one that allowed the stronger team to move into the next round. Liverpool have given up one of the trophies they garnered last season, but it is...

Lessons Learned: Manchester City (Carabao Cup)

That’s why we missed club football! An end-to-end slugfest with goal mouth action, chances squandered and some real needle between the two teams. Aside form the World Cup Final, how many games could you genuinely say that about in the competition? This was the Carabao Cup and secretly there’s a part of Jurgen Klopp...

Tony Evans: Liverpool Can Make The Top Four With Ease

The World Cup was great – especially if you like sportswashing – and the final ended with tremendous drama. Interesting, though, that there’s been a bout of collective amnesia and everyone appears to have forgotten how bad the first 79 minutes were. I’m glad Lionel Messi capped his career by winning the trophy. Not...

Manchester City 3 – 2 Liverpool – League Cup Man of the Match

Manchester City 3 - 2 Liverpool - League Cup Man of the Match Thiago Alcantara Far from a master class, this game became about stemming the City onslaught in the first half.

Could Ben Doak Be the New Raheem Sterling?

Why Naby Keita’s time at Liverpool should be up this summer

Has a Liverpool player divided opinion quite like Naby Keita in the past 20 years? To some, he's as good as Steven Gerrard, and to others, he's worse than Bruno Cheyrou (slight exaggeration, but you get my drift). The Guinean arrived at Liverpool amid huge fanfare back in 2018, one year after initially signing, and was...

Virgil Van Dijk: All Eyes On Second Half Of The Season

Liverpool need a quick and effective start to the second half of the season, of that there’s no doubt. The margin for error is flirting with the non-existent, as the race for the top four looks like being as competitive as ever. To ensure the ‘minimum expectation’ as Jurgen Klopp defined it is that...

What on earth is Alexander-Arnold doing at Centre-Forward!?

One of the more peculiar sights for fans of the Reds this season has been the sporadic emergence of Trent Alexander-Arnold popping up in positions that would usually be expected of a centre-forward. There has been a lot of discussion on the merits of this trend, how it effects other players on the team,...

Ben Doak: Expectations Need Dampening Down

The classic mantra still rings true today: if you’re old enough, you’re good enough. Based on another noteworthy cameo against AC Milan, there’s many who will have Ben Doak pencilled in for the Man City Carabao game and maybe others beyond. A pre-return friendly to prepare for post World Cup action shouldn’t serve as...
