Anger, frustration and disbelief - just three words which capture mine and I am sure plenty of other Liverpool fans' emotions following our humiliating defeat to Red Star Belgrade. As unacceptable of a result and performance Tuesday night's display was, there was an air of inevitability about it. Let's be honest we haven't played...
After conceding a late goal at the Emirates, Jürgen Klopp and his side were resigned to leaving the capital with just one point.
The general reaction so far has been one of negativity, largely down to the fact that anything but perfection just doesn't seem good enough - it's the effect that Manchester City have...
Who else detested that 2-0 defeat to Red Star Belgrade more than any other game this season?
It's rare that you get a Liverpool match where you end up angry at every single player, but not one individual could fly back to Merseyside with their head held high, after what was a display without positives.
You...
Saturday was different.
Jurgen Klopp’s men entertained a much different Arsenal than those they used to under Arsene Wenger, and they didn’t seem ready for it. Ordinarily, home teams tend to give Liverpool the ball and lock the space down around the box, but this new Arsenal demanded more of the ball and went straight...
A sobering night in Belgrade saw a second successive away performance in the Champions League that left much to be desired. Far from the vintage Liverpool witnessed last season, this was as bleak as it gets for Jurgen's men; no ingenuity, no guile and no drive for success or at least attempt to turn...
Liverpool’s Champions League campaign once again threatened to come off the rails, as following a 1-0 defeat in Naples, the Reds were turned over 2-0 by Red Star in Belgrade. But what were the key stats from what was an absolutely atrocious performance from the Reds?
Attack Stutters As Reds Come Unstuck
Liverpool toiled and toiled,...
That was embarrassing, wasn't it?
Like, really embarrassing.
Red Star 2-0 Liverpool and the sad thing was you knew it was over at 2-0. Couldn't tell you why really. The team has fight, they've displayed that already this season. There's quality going forward, they've proved that this season. But you knew.
An off night, or a result...
RedStar 2 Liverpool 0
Alisson, Trent, Matip, Van Dijk, Robertson, Wijnaldum, Milner, Lallana, Mané, Salah, Sturridge
Substitutes:
Gomez, Firmino, Origi
Pavkov… It’s one of those names that will end up being converted to a curse word from now on. Every time you stub a toe or pinch a finger, “PAVKOV!!!”
The trouble really started against Arsenal. Klopp’s reluctance to...
As expected for Liverpool, Jurgen Klopp elected to revert to the 4-3-3 system with which he has enjoyed a great deal of success with against Liverpool’s top six rivals and Champions League competitors too.
It made sense: Arsenal have a renewed impetus to play out from the back and did not have a particularly quick...
Liverpool settled for a point at Arsenal at the end of an absorbing game at the Emirates. Liverpool had their fair share of good chances, and with a bit of luck and competent officiating, the result could have been more favourable for Liverpool.
The key observations from the encounter:
Tough to beat this Liverpool team
Though the...
