The Lull of the International Break
There aren’t many committed fans of Premier League clubs who enjoy international breaks. If your team is involved in European competition, they play every three days or so at this time of year. To go without seeing them in action for two weeks feels downright odd.

The Kalvin Phillips Dilemma at Man City
In a surprising turn of events, Manchester City are contemplating the possibility of loaning out Kalvin Phillips, the England international midfielder. The club had acquired Phillips for a hefty £45m just last year, but the move hasn't exactly panned out as expected. Struggling with form and fitness, Phillips...
Liverpool Are Not Pursuing Kalvin Phillips
Liverpool FC, well-regarded for their tactical prowess, seems to be altering their game plan concerning their midfield assembly. The central figure of speculation? Manchester City's own Kalvin Phillips. The buzz was that Liverpool might want to have this 27-year-old maestro on board, given the potential exits of Fabinho and...
A New Challenge for Liverpool FC
There was no dramatic comeback in Istanbul for Inter Milan. The aura of inevitability had filled the Ataturk Olympic Stadium as soon as the ball found its way to Manchester City's Rodri. Once he netted the goal, the destiny of the Champions League title was sealed.

Manchester City have been the most prominent domestic rival for Liverpool, essentially since Jürgen Klopp took the helm at Anfield.

None of what we are watching is acceptable. The performance against Manchester City was appalling. Everyone knows that Liverpool cannot compete with the Etihad’s spending. The players can work as hard as Pep Guardiola’s team, though.
They didn’t.
Chelsea wasn’t much better. Jurgen Klopp talked about “small steps” forward. Didn’t see that myself. Chelsea are crap....
A system was devised and implemented to adapt to the modern game, under the guidance of a brilliant German manager. VAR was a tool that helped revolutionise the game, which has benefited the game overall. The Reds' defensive high line is something that has always been negatively portrayed by pundits and commentators, yet was...
After a humiliating result and performance at The Etihad where the top four looks a pipe dream, Dave Davis walks through the Manchester City game with Dr Phil Barter from the Under Pressure Pod to find a snippet of what the data told us and look where it went so wrong. We looked at...
Another away game and yet another loss. This was probably the most anticipated result of Liverpool’s season, with a complete difference in both class and endeavour from the two sides. Where this game had previously represented the meeting of England’s top two sides for 4-5 years, this was a million miles away from that...
