Liverpool
Whether or not Sunday’s game versus Manchester United is still viewed as Liverpool’s biggest game can be debated. Manchester City, from across the way, are now light years away (of United) in terms of the football, and it is Pep’s side which must now be overcome in order to mount a valid title challenge. There […]
The weekend’s game (versus Watford) was a joy to behold. The build up was excellent, the patterns of play varying, the overloading on point, and one performance in particular was breath taking. Games against Watford (and teams that are deemed vulnerable), are a superb means for players to find rhythm, for forwards to regain ruthless […]
Ibrahima Konate has made just two starts for Liverpool following his £36million transfer from RB Leipzig this summer. The first arrived in the 3-0 win over Crystal Palace in the Premier League and then he was included in the starting XI for the 3-0 Carabao Cup victory over Norwich City. It has now been close […]
There’s been a lot of Raphinha talk recently.

For the past six seasons Roberto Firmino has been able to make the false nice position his own. His understanding of the position, its intricacies and work rate requirements have made the role very specific, and his off ball work has always been commended. His value has a goal threat has not always been as […]
With a new Premier League season upon us, it once again provides those involved an opportunity to display their talents to a huge audience and with some of the very best players in world football calling this competition home, fans around the world have been treated to some incredible sights. Sights that come no less […]
Caoimhin Kelleher – 7.0 A solid display for Alisson’s deputy. Calm and assured, and the fear of Adrián having to fill in is now behind us. Great late stop, and after a relatively uneventful match, this trait of maintaining concentration is a very good sign. Trent Alexander Arnold – 7.5 A welcome return for the […]
