It wasn’t the greatest surprise but it still wasn’t great to hear the news on Tuesday night that Thiago Alcantara’s season is over as he requires surgery on his hip. The Spanish maestro had been working himself back to fitness for the umpteenth time with Jurgen Klopp introducing him for small but consistent cameos...
Well it wasn’t the prettiest but a win and a clean sheet shouldn’t be scoffed at. Liverpool have now won five league games on the bounce and their longest unbeaten run (seven games) since the end of last season. Another game with the new system, familiar faces shining and all with rotation in the...
Data correct prior to Liverpool’s home game with Fulham on Wednesday
Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold seem to be engaged in a weekly battle to see who can equal, break and set new records most frequently at the moment. With his penalty against Tottenham, the former moved past Robbie Fowler and clear into sixth on...
All the talk in the last week or so has been regarding the positional change of Trent Alexander Arnold. With system alterations and strategic tinkering engulfing the white boards of the AXA Training Centre, it’s important to consider how other players will be directly affected by this change. As it stands, there is some...
Reports in recent weeks have suggested that Liverpool could be in the market to sign a right-back in the upcoming summer transfer window to help tighten up their defence.
These claims have arguably been backed up by the change of system by Jurgen Klopp, which has seen Trent Alexander-Arnold excel in a midfield role rather...
This Wednesday evening sees the Reds welcome Fulham to Anfield, as part of their ultra busy few weeks of the Premier League schedule. I will always remember our opening day fixture, where Liverpool travelled to Craven Cottage for match week one of the 2022/23 season. The hope and expectation that followed the Community Shield...
When the sun does formally set on Bobby Firmino’s reign as our number nine, only Mo Salah will remain at Anfield from the OG front three under Jurgen Klopp. With recent chat around Darwin Nunez’s lack of minutes and Diogo Jota’s return to form including his winner on Sunday, the talk around our forwards...
This was the same match-up that contested the Champions League final in 2019, where one ultra-organised and ruthless team was able to overcome a team built upon growth, desire, and team spirit. That contest became a chess match that Liverpool were able to game-manage with relative ease, absolute professionalism, and control in abundance. The...
Who is the most disappointing midfielder for Liverpool during the Jurgen Klopp era? The obvious answer is Naby Keita. But for me it’s been Thiago.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performances over the last few games and especially at West Ham have shown the damage direct passing to the forwards can do. Everyone’s favourite floating full back has...
Patience is something that is important in football and something that has increasingly disappeared in the modern game.
Players are written off too soon, managers are sacked before they get a chance to prove their worth and everything is about the here and now.
This certainly applied with Cody Gakpo in his early weeks in a...
