Liverpool
Joe Gomez A brilliant defender, that is simply part of an elite group of defenders. His versatility allowed him a rare start, and he gave his very best throughout. A clearly different version to Trent’s world class level, but Joe was intent on making a strong impression. Some strong running and smart passing was even […]
Alisson Becker – 7.5 A busier game than he could have envisioned, with a few moments of frantic play engulfing his penalty box. A clean sheet, some smart saves, and a semi-final awaits the giant Brazilian. Joe Gomez – 8.0 A very good game for the England defender. Was understandably lacking in the normal Trent […]
The gunfight at the O.K Corral is an historical moment that has been retold many times over, throughout various western movies. Depending on your age, movies that still seem fairly modern to me will probably be deemed ancient by the generations born after me. Tombstone was a brilliant film that had every scene stolen by […]
The Reds were written off far too early in this season’s league title race, and now due to a combination of a trademark Klopp charge and consistency on their part and signs of a Manchester City side starting to falter, it will go right down to the wire. All eyes are focussed on the 10th […]
Before the match, hosts Arsenal were in a run of form they’ve not seen for years, putting themselves in pole position to qualify for the Champions League. Nevertheless, they were playing against the form side in Premier League (and Europe) as Liverpool travelled to London to face the Gunners. On Post-Match RAW, Trevor hosted Dave […]
The juggernaut rolled though the Emirates and didn’t stop, thanks to goals from Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino. But what were the key stats as the Reds got to within one point of Manchester City? Silence, then thunder Arsenal 0 : 2 Liverpool â–ª xG: 0.69 – 1.25â–ª xThreat: 0.85 – 1.41â–ª Possession: 49.0% – […]
Joel Matip Virgil, Fabinho and Alisson all could have won this, which showed the utter strength through the defensive middle. In a game where Martinelli was so dangerous, Matip was able to offer great coverage when they broke. Was dominating aerially throughout, assured in possession, and carried the ball forward with his usual threat. A […]
What is the correct wage for any player? It’s very subjective even in the best of circumstances, but the negotiations between Mo Salah’s camp and Liverpool football club involve several added layers that increase the complexity exponentially. THE WAGE SCALE The “wage scale” and how far Mo’s new deal can be outside of that without […]
Against Arsenal, Liverpool had one of their slowest first halves of the season. It seemed like the Gunners had a real foothold in the game, and although they didn’t create much, neither did Liverpool. But we will not be stopped. No matter what you throw at these boys, they’ll plant their feet, grit their teeth, […]
Arsenal 0 – 2 Liverpool – The Player Ratings Alisson Becker – 8.5 A pretty routine first half for the giant Brazilian, with possession of the ball more apparent than anything else. Made a great stop early in the second half as the game opened up. Didn’t have much to do after that, but his […]
