Well there you have it. It always looked a bridge too far despite the most optimistic of Reds believing it still possible. Barring an excessive miracle, a draw against Aston Villa means Liverpool will start next season in the Europa League. Whilst there maybe a bit of doom and gloom for many, there may...
A Controversial Tie Marred by Time Wasting and Buildup Problems
The Tangled Web of Time Wasting
In a game overshadowed by controversy, the Reds' recent 1-1 draw with Aston Villa at Anfield highlighted some of the more problematic aspects of modern football. From an unprecedented amount of "dead time" to seemingly never-ending discussions on the efficacy...
Liverpool’s performance in their 3-0 win at Leicester City on Monday evening was the sort of calm, controlled display that has been largely lacking on the road in 2022/23. Even if they beat Southampton on the final day, this will still be the Reds’ worst away campaign under Jürgen Klopp, with only eight seasons...
This was perhaps the most awkward game of our final three fixtures, against a team still fighting to stay in the Premier League.

The Liverpool midfielder has divided opinion for some time now but this isn’t news, is it? Are you even a midfielder for the Reds if you don’t divide opinion? It is because we all have different opinions on what a midfielder should do?
For example, you’ll have some who...
Seven wins on the bounce. It seems mad to say that and still be saying that the Champions League is unlikely. That being said, Liverpool were a league above an abject Leicester City which looks like it will be the case come the end of the season. Again the negative side to this is...
Most of the Liverpool fanbase have been impatiently waiting all season, hoping that Jürgen Klopp would push Trent Alexander Arnold into a new midfield position. Many of us assumed it would be either a right-wing spot or as the RCM in a typical 4-3-3. Unlike in the summer (when the Pepijn Lijnders and Klopp...
