Liverpool FC
Three days after conquering bitter rivals Chelsea in the League Cup Final, the Reds returned home from the capital for another domestic cup tie. After experiencing the exhilarating high of winning a trophy in incredibly tense circumstances, it would have understandable for a normal team to lose focus in a midweek match against a relegation-quality […]
Liverpool, after such an eventful campaign during the tournament – especially when they were two goals down to Leicester at Anfield – didn’t expect all of that drama to be eclipsed in the final against Chelsea. Remarkably, despite the scoreline, you will struggle to see a match with more twists and turns! At one point, […]
Curtis Jones was named in the starting XI for Liverpool’s match against Leicester City. He then didn’t make the cut for the squad in the following three games. It may seem ruthless and a little harsh from Jurgen Klopp, but when everyone is fit, the competition for a place in the matchday squad is like […]
The dust has now settled on Liverpool’s triumphant League Cup final, and other competitions now come to the fore. With a pretty much full strength line up employed for the Chelsea match, there is an FA Cup game against Norwich on Wednesday to contend with. West Ham are welcomed to Anfield on Saturday, with both […]
The transfer of one Luis Diaz to Liverpool, happened almost as quickly as Kaiser Soze disappeared. Tottenham were in talks, apparently West Ham had interest, and even Manchester United were keeping tabs, and just like that, he was here. With only a month gone since the window closed, it’s a magnificent first chapter in the […]
By no means are Liverpool in limbo but there is a lot of uncertainty over the future of a number of players currently on their books. The media focus has, rightly, been on Mohamed Salah. The two-time Golden Boot winner – who could well make it three this season – is out of contract once […]
Caoimhin Kelleher This young man was outstanding today, and certainly silenced any pre-game doubters. A great early stop from Christian Pulisic allowed Liverpool to edge into the contest, and a series of good stops throughout the game was a wonderful sight. His opposite number for Chelsea, Eduard Mendy, was also sensational, and it was a […]
Joe Gomez made his first start in the Premier League for 468 days in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Norwich City. He was used as a right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold being given a rare day off. Some thought he did well, others really did not like him in the full-back role. I think how you viewed […]
Is it the greatest rivalry in the history of English football? Jurgen Klopp versus Pep Guardiola, Liverpool versus Manchester City. Records are constantly being broken: the first and only team to achieve 100 points in a league season (Man City – 2017/18); the biggest lead ever in English football at the top of the table […]
The first domestic final of the year descends on the nation this weekend, as Liverpool face Chelsea in a battle of two brilliant German managers.
