Scouting Report: Nicolo Barella

Well, we might as well start looking hard at the alternatives to Jude Bellingham then. After the news struck a devastating blow to the fanbase, all the major journalists led with the same angle, that Liverpool are looking at other alternatives due to the finances involved for a summer rebuild. Whilst it is right...

Diogo Jota – When You Can’t Be Good, Be Lucky

Diogo Jota lost something when Liverpool won 6-1 against Leeds United on Monday, though what he retained and gained at Elland Road could prove to be far more important. The most obvious thing he lost was the ball. A lot. The 26-year-old turned over possession (through mis-controls and unsuccessful touches) on five occasions when the...

Lessons Learned: Leeds 1 Liverpool 6

It’s another one of those games that Liverpool have been able to produce in a distinctly average season. Leeds went the way of Bournemouth, Rangers, and Manchester United in receiving an absolute hiding from the Reds. Jurgen Klopp described it as our best game of the season which is ironic as for many it...

Leeds v Liverpool – The PL Preview

Next Monday sees a matchup between two teams fighting very different battles. Both clubs are legendary institutions of English football, therefore this should be an interesting battle between two sides struggling for consistency. Elland Road will be the venue for a match up that has produced some brilliant moments over the years, with this...

Manchester City 4 – 1 Liverpool – The Post-Mortem

Another away game and yet another loss. This was probably the most anticipated result of Liverpool’s season, with a complete difference in both class and endeavour from the two sides. Where this game had previously represented the meeting of England’s top two sides for 4-5 years, this was a million miles away from that...

Goodbye, Bobby: The poster boy of the Jurgen Klopp era

So, the Roberto Firmino era at Liverpool is coming to an end. Yep, I'm in floods of tears, too. Last week, the Reds' brilliant Brazilian announced that he wouldn't be signing a new deal at Anfield this summer, with the news met with much sadness by many. Firmino's world-class talents may have waned since the title-winning...

Liverpool 7 – 0 Manchester United – The Post-Mortem 

In the build up to this historic fixture, I stated how it may look if the Reds were to come within seven points of their fiercest rivals. Given that the Old Trafford outfit were enjoying their best season in years (whilst Liverpool are suffering their worst), it does paint a rather amusing picture for...

Trent Assisting: Hopefully The Re-Birth Continues

It’s not been the easiest of seasons for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Often singled out unfairly as the major issue in Liverpool’s defensive line, the West Derby born player has seen his and his team-mates performances and desire questioned on a number of occasions. On the back of Liverpool’s victory against Newcastle on Saturday, there’s a...

Why Harvey Barnes Should Be a Summer Option

At the seasons start, you could have been confident that the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Antonio Conte would have been fighting it out for top honours at the end of this campaign, yet the latter two have suffered either mild or scary lapses in their usual levels, whilst the Etihad is...

Absent Luis Diaz an underrated reason for Liverpool’s struggles

A year ago, almost to the day, Liverpool were completing the signing of Luis Diaz, giving their 2021/22 season a much-needed injection of quality and fresh legs. History may look back on that campaign differently, as the Reds lay on the cusp of an unprecedented quadruple at one point, but it was a grind at...
