Tottenham 2 – 2 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 6.5 Some good saves early on (and later from Kane), but a misjudged attempt on the approaching Son gifted an empty net. Needed a little more protection at times. Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0 The world's best full back was very good across the pitch, and almost sensational in front of goal once more....

Inter Milan & The Knockout Stages

After that ridiculous Champions League last 16 draw, Inter Milan were finally confirmed as Liverpool’s next opponents. The tie is a tantalising match up between two European heavyweights, and one which Jürgen Klopp’s men should eagerly await. Last season, the Serie A saw Antonio Conte’s team finally capture the Italian League title, after Juventus monopolised...

Konaté vs Zlatan

It seems to be common within modern cinema, to pit an unstoppable force against the immovable object. It’s often a tale of strength, arrogance, and sometimes a legendary icon pitted against a worthy opponent. The last few weeks (indeed much of the season), has seen a certain rhetoric take place regarding certain players. The likes...

Wolves 0 – 1 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.5 Did everything well, and the few chances that came Wolves' way, were dealt with in a usual fashion. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0 Struggled with the deep block and defensive overload, but had next to no issues defensively. A good game, and always frustrating when opposing teams are so organised. Andy Robertson - 7.5 Kept...

A Goodison Park Dream

I remember (many, many years ago), spending entire days playing Championship Manager. It would have been at least 25 years ago, where I would spend entire summer holidays managing teams, and searching for players to sign. Often times I would be the Liverpool manager, but here and there I would mix up my club...

Everton 1 – 4 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.0 Wasn’t at fault for Grays goal, and showed good use of the ball. Not his busiest evening (in terms of shots saved), and commanded when is required. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.5 Possibly could have swept tighter for the goal, but the all in all, a solid game. Good progression of the ball,...

One Night In Southampton

When Jürgen Norbert Klopp arrived at Liverpool, there was a sense of relief and hope. The style of football quickly changed, the tempo of the matches picked up, the gegenpressing began to unfold, and certain players started to fall under the intense pressure. Brendan Rodgers and his patterns of play were forever changing at Liverpool,...

Liverpool 4 – 0 Southampton – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 8.0 Some important stops allowed Liverpool to avoid any issues. The most important goalkeeper in Liverpool’s Premier League era, and irreplaceable in this side. Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0 So impressive in his game. The elegance and natural ability he has is unmatched by any other attacking fullback. Another assist for this sensational talent,...

Liverpool 2 – 0 FC Porto – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.0 A peaceful night's work for the giant Brazilian. Even with the odd moment (where things looked precarious), he offers limitless assurance. Neco Williams - 6.5 Some composure is required, as steady and dependable is what is needed to be Trent's deputy. Got caught out a few times, and against better opposition it could...

Sadio Mane, his form and his contract situation

Only Mohamed Salah has more goals than Sadio Mane in the Premier League this season.  A lot of people will - perhaps rightly - focus on Salah being the top scorer. But the fact Mane is amongst the goals this season should not be overlooked. For most wide forwards, a haul of 11 Premier League...
