Finding an Alternative to Moreno Isn’t that Easy

Odds are if you ask a random Liverpool fan what part of their squad needs an upgrade they'll say the left-back position. Alberto Moreno is the current incumbent of the role and despite being at the club for two seasons he's still yet to really nail the position down as his own. A series of...

Klopp: the man to take “Jekyll and Hyde” Liverpool to the top

Liverpool were supreme against Arsenal on the opening weekend of the 2016/17 Premier League season but Jurgen Klopp knows that there is still plenty of work to be done before the Reds can be regarded as genuine title contenders. After all, it would be foolish to get carried away after just one competitive fixture...

Assessing Liverpool’s Attacking Options

Liverpool go into the 2016/17 season with the best attack that they have had in a number of years, with a number of genuine high quality options across all positions. Although there is much more to any attacking player than two stats, ultimately they are judged on two things: goals and assists. Therefore to gage...

Liverpool FC – Taking the Positives

Support is needed now more than ever This past weekend showed the best and the worst from our players on the pitch.  It also showed the positives and negatives of our own fan-behaviour off it.   At this stage I’m tired of hearing about Alberto Moreno’s shortcomings.  I was guilty of voicing these concerns myself on...

A Tactical Look at Moreno’s Performance Against Arsenal

After the humbling of Barcelona last weekend many Liverpool fans thought the Reds would fly out of the traps against a weakened Arsenal side. What fans witnessed in those opening 45 minutes was the complete opposite. A dozy opening 45 minutes saw Arsenal mount attack after attack and look destined to take a 1-0...

A Case for Marković

Since his arrival from Benfica two summers ago for a healthy £20 million, the word which best describes Serbian wide man Lazar Marković has almost universally been "frustrating." In his debut season he struggled to break into the first team, despite inconsistent performances from fellow new-boy Adam Lallana. While Lallana struggled to get into promising positions...

Observations from the Thriller at The Emirates as Liverpool win!

The Premier League is back with a bang and in typical Liverpool fashion the Reds made their fans sweat on a result when it could've been much more comfortable. You could look at the negatives if you're that way inclined but, for me at least, it was a performance filled with positives and they're...

Player Ratings from a brilliant opening day win for Liverpool

What a start! What a start! An absolutely rousing display from the Reds at the Emirates Stadium left Arsenal shell-shocked and saw Jürgen Klopp's men complete a brilliant comeback after falling behind to a Theo Walcott goal and generally being shoddy in all aspects in the first half. Here is how I thought each of...

Liverpool 2016/17 – Season Preview and Predictions

Going from “we’re going to win the league” after beating Barcelona 4-0, to the outlook being doom and gloom within just 24 hours after losing to Mainz by the same scoreline is precisely why I try not to read too much into pre-season friendlies. They are essentially just for fitness, integrating new players and...

Arsenal vs Liverpool Preview: London Calling As The Reds Kick-off 16/17

Liverpool travel to the Emirates Stadium to face Arsenal on Sunday, as their 2016/17 Premier League season finally gets underway, 88 days after last season ended with the Europa League final defeat to Sevilla. Pre-season form Much has changed since then, not least in terms of transfers, with Jürgen Klopp seeing a huge overhaul in terms...
