What does Luis Diaz’s signing mean for Liverpool?

You'll know all about Luis Diaz by now. You'll know he is explosively quick, a genuine goal threat and he has that special something about him. You know what I mean, that ability to create something out of nothing that just leaves you confused but impressed. There's a touch of Luis Suarez about him. I've...

Where does Luis Diaz fit into Liverpool’s team?

So, it is Luis Diaz. Having been linked with a host of attackers over the last couple of months, the decision has been made and the Colombian looks set to be the latest addition to the Liverpool forward line. At the time of writing this, anyway. We could end up with another Nabil Fekir...

Diogo Jota & His Starting Role

When Liverpool signed Diogo Jota from Wolves, it was a signing that appeared reactionary to the failure to obtain Timo Werner. In the 18 months since he arrived, Diogo has proven to be not only a valuable rotation piece, but a player that can succeed Sadio Mané on the left-hand side of Liverpool‘s famed...

Analysis: Liverpool Have Restored Hope, But Questions Remain

The Premier League title race has been widely declared 'over' on two occasions already this season. First, there was City's comeback win against Arsenal, the epitome of 'mark of champions', and then there was their victory at home to reigning kings of Europe Chelsea a fortnight later.

Crystal Palace 1 – 3 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 8.5 Outstanding reactions and moments of class. The tough stuff is done brilliantly, and the routine bits see complete assurance, and this sets him apart.

Arsenal 0 – 2 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Caoimhin Kelleher - 7.0 A good first half, with lots of possession against Arsenals press. Solid composure under pressure, and another good outing. Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.0 A great moment for the opening goal, and the playmaker is looking imperious on the ball. Gave good solidity at the back, and tracked runners well. Kept sliding into...

Liverpool 0-0 Arsenal: Player Ratings as Reds fail to punish Xhaka and Arsenal

Takumi Minamino missed a glorious late chance as Liverpool limped to a goalless draw with Arsenal in the first leg of their League Cup semifinal. It was by far the best of the few opportunities The Reds fashioned following Granit Xhaka's two-reds-for-the-price-of-one dismissal 24 minutes into the game. Liverpool of course missed the threat, and above...

An Opportunity Lost

When Liverpool emerged victorious to claim their 6th European Cup, it should have marked the start of domination for the reds. The League title was finally claimed a year or so later, and despite the lack of any substantial signings since, there was still strong signs that vast silverware could be claimed. That Champions League...

Why Curtis Jones could be Thiago’s backup for Liverpool

Curtis Jones has gone under the radar this season. Harvey Elliott’s exploits early on coupled with his injury issues has meant people have kind of forgotten about the 20-year-old after an impressive 2020/21 campaign.  He’s back now, but what role can he play for the Reds moving forward? Liverpool find themselves in limbo in the...

Why James Milner started against Chelsea

There is a misconception that if a player starts ahead of someone else, they are the better one. In reality, they are usually just viewed as the better fit for that game by the manager. Football these days is not a one size fits all sort of thing. It really is a squad game...
