Liverpool 3 - 1 Cardiff - The Player Ratings
Caoimhin Kelleher - 6.5
Possibly lucky with the yellow card incident, and moments of rashness needs to be parked. No fault for the goal, and Milner should be pinned for the blame there.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0
Another assist, in an ordinary performance against another low block side. The thought of this man being joined by Elliott and Mo once more is tantalising.
Kostas Tsimikas - 7.0
Crossed, crossed and crossed some more. A willing outlet and good deputy …
Fabio Carvalho - The Endgame Won’t Alter
The start of this winter transfer window was full of frustration, as the entire fanbase were concerned that FSG would never back any January purchases. Then, much like the past Fabinho deal, a target arose, and was swiftly announced as a red. The speed and confidence with how the deal was confirmed was beyond satisfying, and should point to a more aggressive transfer policy.
The signing of the Columbian international, Luis Diaz, was both unexpected and spectacular. The rumblings of …
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 also seen some compare him to Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino. He is the sort to take something personally. If someone fouls him, he will …
Who is Liverpool transfer target Fabio Carvalho?
Fabio Carvalho is set to stay with Fulham this month, but he could be a Liverpool player once this season comes to an end. Marco Silva doesn’t want to sell him, but his contract is almost up and the Reds are believed to be favourites for his signature.
So what is all the fuss about?
Again, the first thing to flag here is that the sample size isn't the largest - just 1,150 minutes in the Championship. It makes him …
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 situation.
For now, everything seems to be moving smoothly.
In a previous feature on the site, we have looked at why Diaz might’ve been targeted. This …
A Positive Christmas
It’s impossible to fully grasp how impactful this period of the season could be. It’s literally become a lottery for all football clubs, as to who in their squad list will test positive next. Managers cannot plan, training sessions and movement have to be monitored, yet fixtures will continue to come to all.
The Premier League management group supposedly held a meeting on Monday, where the decision was taken to continue as planned. How this next week shapes up is …
Who is Liverpool transfer target Kacper Kozlowski?
So, Kacper Kozlowski.
According to reports, Liverpool are rivalling Brighton and Hove Albion for the youngster. The Argus claim the Reds are prepared to pay £10million to secure the services of the versatile 18-year-old, with the Seagulls only prepared to pay £8million for the Poland international.
It’d be a bit of an odd move for the Merseysiders. They are always in the market for the next-next big thing. As in, the likes of Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland come with …
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, if not entirely brilliant in a sometimes frantic game. His standards are high, and his importance not in doubt.
Andy Robertson - 8.0
…
The New Sporting Director
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 Michael Edwards gets ready to depart his role as Sporting Director, Julian Ward was immediately confirmed as his successor. As with the celebrated American TV …
