Standards have now become so high that any dropped points can lead to dismay within the Liverpool fanbase. After a draw at home to Brighton, and a loss to West Ham, Liverpool head into this weekend with a clear need to improve.
The international window has (as always) brought back an array of injury concerns....
Andy Robertson's place in Liverpool's starting line-up is under intense scrutiny. Over the past few weeks, maybe even the past couple of months, the calls for Kostas Tsimikas to replace him have grown progressively louder.
Before the season began, I'd argue that the only position up for debate in Liverpool's strongest XI was centre-forward, but...
Any new role undertaken at a sporting team (let alone a major club like Liverpool FC), brings a certain amount a risk, especially when the role was previously engineered with brilliance. FSG have made some high profile mistakes along the way, yet the overall structure of the club is now one to be admired.
As...
As the next international window begins, more and more players will be heading off to represent their specific countries. The amount of players that will be returning in a state of good fitness, is as ever, unpredictable.
Liverpool have undertaken this first stage of the season with as many questions as answers. Some games and...
Diego Simeone is one of the world's most important and impressive managers. His tenure as Atletico Madrid boss is simply sensational, and his want to win is perhaps unmatched in world football. If Liverpool are to remain relevant on the European stage, they must accept and relish this Argentinian as an enemy to overcome,...
Before the season started, I predicted that Liverpool would finish in third behind Manchester City and Chelsea. It was clear that, with our first-team centre-backs fit again and the structure of the team restored as a result, we'd compete for the title, but I did think we'd ultimately fall short.
Ten Premier League games into...
Alisson Becker - 7.5
So dominant and was once again important to his team. The first goal was pin point precision in it’s trajectory, and would’ve been tough to stop even if not lost in the sun.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0
An unsure performance. A new inside centre back (Konate) and the ever revolving midfield...
The centre-back situationÂ
Last season, Liverpool had no centre-backs. Now, the Reds allegedly have too many.Â
According to a report, albeit not the most reliable ones, Joe Gomez isn’t happy with his situation at Anfield. The 24-year-old is yet to start in the Premier League this term and the majority of his minutes have arrived in...
The season rolls on, and Liverpool are yet to taste defeat in any competition thus far. A quarter final place in the League Cup, a top place position in their Champions League group, and a second place berth in the Premier League represents a superb start to the season.
With a home game against Brighton...
What a difference a few months make. The majority of last season saw Liverpool’s central defenders fall away, in an horrific series of season ending injuries. Once Dejan Lovren and Ki-Jana Hoever were sold last summer, it was predictable that the failure to recruit, in defence, would come back to bite the reds. That...
