Liverpool vs Chelsea: FA Cup final betting preview
Liverpool and Chelsea lock horns once again as they meet in the 2022 FA Cup final at Wembley on Saturday afternoon.
The pair have already met three times this season, including in the Carabao Cup final back in February. It couldn’t have been tighter that day as the game ended 0-0 after extra-time with Liverpool coming out victorious 11-10 in the penalty shoot-out.
The League Cup victory means Liverpool are still in with a chance of pulling off an unprecedented …
Aston Villa 1 - 2 Liverpool - Man Of The Match
Luis Diaz
Low key good performance, in a tough contest. The minutes are mounting, and fatigue is starting to show. Diaz had really good moments, and was brilliant in his delivery for Mane’s goal.
He was perhaps less incisive from the right, but he stretched the play and still looked to run defenders at every opportunity …
Take The Red Pill
A point at home to a good Spurs side (who are managed by a world class manager), was seen as a major disappointment at the weekend. That is the mentality and level that this Liverpool team and manager have created, and one that should be respected for getting us to that point. The disappointment was real, but the door remains ajar on the reds hopes of achieving the improbable.
In a period where Manchester City have been obscenely bankrolled by …
Observations: Hard Work for The Reds against solid Spurs.
Let's address the issue on everyone's minds first. With only 1 point gained against Tottenham, Liverpool are now 3 points behind Manchester City if they won their game in hand. This means Jurgen Klopp and his boys now need City to lose a game rather than just draw. This makes it less likely, but it still can turn on a single result. Fingers crossed then. With that covered, onto the game itself.
The most striking thing from this game was …
Luis Diaz: Another extraordinary singing by Liverpool
It seems that the Liverpool stables have the most impressive talent of the season with Salah, Mané and Jota making up the front trio.
But there’s a new top-class player that the squad have added to their line-up. A 25-year old Colombian winger by the name of Luis Diaz.
Signed from Porto for an initial fee of £37m, Diaz might just be the best singing of the 21-22 season in the Premier League.

Footballs Of Steel
The past weekend saw a remarkable run of results continue, as Liverpool saw off Newcastle at St James' Park. The Reds are in the midst of a battle across three remaining fronts, with Villarreal dispatched after a minor scare in midweek.
Earlier in the year I wrote a piece named ‘Rotation, Rotation, Rotation’, as the Reds continued to smartly use the depth of their squad. It’s always been a tricky subject for clubs that partake in rotation, as the squads' …
Observations: Don't Panic
Dear Reader, this writer had the pleasure of watching Liverpool vs Villarreal on BT Sport. After a torrid first half in which the Reds were stunned by a daring tactical approach by knockout king Unai Emery (more on that later), there was something of a theme for the coverage. "Bring on Henderson", "need the captain's experience", "there has to be personnel changes from Klopp". The consensus seemed to be that Liverpool's midfielders had struggled, particularly Naby Keita, and therefore substitutions …
A Defining Week Of Football For Liverpool FC
Once again and as with every week, Liverpool enter into a defining week that could shake their season to its core. After the Reds overcame a horrendous Everton side on Sunday, they remain one point behind leaders Manchester City. They are currently in the final of the FA Cup, and are about to embark on their semi-final in the Champions League, with the Premier League chase on going.
On the day I write this, Manchester City are about to play …
Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton - Man Of The Match
Andy Robertson
Maybe the best period of form of his Liverpool career. His determination in clear, his goal to drag the reds to a quadruple unwavering.
The opening goal was such a relief, and just isn’t something left backs do. This left back however, is a ferocious player that isn’t accepting dropped points and the header was sensational.
His delivery and aggression was good, and his ability to drive up and down the line is quite breathtaking.
The world's best …
Klopp vs Lampard
Jürgen Klopp is one of the most respected managers in world football. Many fans of rival clubs surely admire the personality and performance of the charismatic German. In world football there are maybe three or four world-class managers, and Klopp is certainly one of those. To make an enemy of Jürgen Klopp is often detrimental, but to rile Jürgen Klopp with silly antics is still quite common.
In the recent past, managers such as Chris Wilder, Sean Dyche, Mikel Arteta, …
