Liverpool Football Club

Steven Gerrard & The Ballon d’Or

With Liverpool now fielding a rotating cast of midfielders, it’s going raise the subject once more as to who Liverpool may sign in the next window. The reality is that no midfielder will probably arrive until next summer, when James Milner is poised to leave the club. There are certain avenues that can be...

Liverpool 2 – 0 Atletico Madrid – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.0 I hope he enjoyed the show. The disallowed goal was one of his few moments in a quiet game. Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.5 The best right back in world football continues to show his amazing talent and outrageous delivery. Two assists and a brilliant setting of game tempo in the first half,...

Time To Welcome Simeone

Diego Simeone is one of the world's most important and impressive managers. His tenure as Atletico Madrid boss is simply sensational, and his want to win is perhaps unmatched in world football. If Liverpool are to remain relevant on the European stage, they must accept and relish this Argentinian as an enemy to overcome,...

A Jekyll and Hyde Midfield

I have written more about Gini Wijnaldum this season than last. His off ball intelligence was so understated, he could glide through games merely taking up good positions, and aiding the system with pure intelligence. His ability to help shield a solid defence, made that defence one of the best in Europe, and his...

Liverpool Have Looked Great, But Not Like Champions Yet

Before the season started, I predicted that Liverpool would finish in third behind Manchester City and Chelsea. It was clear that, with our first-team centre-backs fit again and the structure of the team restored as a result, we'd compete for the title, but I did think we'd ultimately fall short. Ten Premier League games into...

Liverpool’s Joe Gomez conundrum

The centre-back situation  Last season, Liverpool had no centre-backs. Now, the Reds allegedly have too many.  According to a report, albeit not the most reliable ones, Joe Gomez isn’t happy with his situation at Anfield. The 24-year-old is yet to start in the Premier League this term and the majority of his minutes have arrived in...

Liverpool’s Momentum Is Key

The season rolls on, and Liverpool are yet to taste defeat in any competition thus far. A quarter final place in the League Cup, a top place position in their Champions League group, and a second place berth in the Premier League represents a superb start to the season. With a home game against Brighton...

We need to talk about Divock Origi

How does Divock Origi do it?  If you piece together a highlight reel made up of all of his best moments, he’d look like one of the best players ever to put on a Liverpool shirt. There are world-class finishes amongst memorable moments that will never be forgotten.  His goal against Preston was outrageous, yet somehow...

Joe Gomez – Patience Is A Virtue

What a difference a few months make. The majority of last season saw Liverpool’s central defenders fall away, in an horrific series of season ending injuries. Once Dejan Lovren and Ki-Jana Hoever were sold last summer, it was predictable that the failure to recruit, in defence, would come back to bite the reds. That...

How To Approach The Cups

Domestic cup wins are a glorious building block for success, though only if your team is blessed with a squad to cope. We have seen Manchester City consistently able to achieve cup wins (in recent years), whilst maintaining both strong League and European campaigns. The issue is never the desire to lose in the...
