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,...
It only took until the ninth Premier League game of the season but Liverpool appeared to finally wake up and realise that pre-season ended months ago and the season was underway. Having begun the weekend in 11th position, and dropped to 12th after results before their game kicked off, Liverpool found themselves in the...
I predicted a 2-2 draw with City this past Sunday, but was delighted to be wrong. Liverpool ran out deservedly as winners with a 1-0 home win causing much of the small blue portion of Manchester to fall into meltdown. Bernardo Silva & Pep Guardiola were outraged, the sports washing entity as a whole...
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...
The highs and continual lows that have been witnessed this season (for Liverpool FC) have been quite staggering at times. If you listen to the various shows on Anfield Index, you’ll know that system tweaks, player attitudes and general form, have all been mentioned as attributing factors. A culmination of things have obviously had...
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 Football Club return to action this weekend, with Premier League high flyers Brighton set to visit Anfield on Saturday afternoon. In such a short period of time, Liverpool have experienced pretty much every emotion possible within the football realm. This weekend represents a much-needed restart, that can carry them forward towards the next...
Liverpool want Jude Bellingham.Â
Every man and their dog knows this. Throughout the summer months we’ve had journalists describe the type of midfielder the Reds are after in 2023 and it probably would’ve been easier just to mention him by name.
It is clear that he is the player they have in mind. Then there is...
I read this morning how Trent Alexander-Arnold has been omitted from the England squad for the Germany game. I was neither surprised nor worried by the fact, as a mediocre manager (Gareth Southgate) has clearly settled on other options. Kyle Walker, Reece James & Kieran Tripper are all ahead of Trent in the Three...
