Liverpool 7 - 0 Manchester United - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 9.0
Had such little work to do, with the reds ramping up as the game progressed. Was smart in possession and dealt with the couple of half chances that came his way. I’m rating him high, as it’s that kind of result.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.0
A very good game, that showed his instinct in the defensive third can be relied upon, whilst his playmaking was …
Mo Salah: Both underappreciated & overprotected?
Contrary to popular belief, Mohamed Salah is much more like Cristiano Ronaldo than Lionel Messi.
The Egyptian superstar may possess the latter's gorgeous left foot and low centre of gravity, but there is so much more about him that screams Ronaldo.
Away from the grinning face and all-round likeable personality, there is a huge ego where Salah is concerned - he is someone who knows exactly how good he is, precisely how many goals he has scored and is well …
Liverpool out for revenge in Man United showdown
It's the only blip on Liverpool's near perfect league record this season.
A frustrating 1-1 draw at Old Trafford is the only fixture in which Klopp's side have dropped points in the Premier League, and is likely the only thing worth bragging about if you're unfortunate enough to be a Manchester United fan at present.
The game was scrappy for the first 60 minutes, and Liverpool will still be aggrieved that Rashford's opener was allowed to stand after a foul …
Is Van Dijk the Premier League's best-ever centre-back?
Has a Liverpool player ever received as much endless praise over a sustained period than Virgil van Dijk?
The Dutchman has been an almost godlike figure at Anfield from the moment he arrived in January 2018, powering home a header in front of the Kop on his debut, against Everton no less.
Since then, Van Dijk has transformed a leaky defence that used to concede comical goals into one of Europe's most solid back-lines.
With the 28-year-old in the team, …
Liverpool Must Not Underestimate The Importance Of Investment This Summer
It's been a fairly interesting pre-season so far.
Premier League champions Manchester City have also been heavily linked with Spanish international Rodri, a 23-year-old central midfielder currently learning his trade at Atletico Madrid.
Another of Liverpool's rivals, Manchester United, completed the signing of right-back Aaron Wan Bissaka from Crystal Palace - who has drawn many comparisons to the Reds' own full-back Alexander Arnold. The Red Devils have also been linked with Leicester centre-back Harry Maguire, who could be another to …
Trophies or not, it’s been a good season for Liverpool
The title race is going to the wire and Liverpool are right in the thick of it. The Champions League semi-finals are so finely poised and Liverpool are in the thick of it.
Feels nice, doesn’t it?
It’s been another rollercoaster ride of a season for Jürgen Klopp’s Red men which has seen them amass a record points tally with three games left to play.
Had it not been for the undeniable brilliance of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City, the title …
Why Man United game is perfect preparation for Bayern away
You really have to have a long think back to remember a week of such magnitude for a Liverpool team.
After Tuesday's stalemate with Bayern Munich, Klopp takes his side across the M62 to face bitter rivals Manchester United in what is a crucial game in the Reds' hopes to clinch a first league title since 1991.
It's no doubt been a huge week for Liverpool in both the Champions League and the Premier League, and the return leg against …
FSG & Why 'Net Spend' is Irrelevant and Misleading
Today, I read a popular article on the Echo website titled 'FSG - how much have Liverpool's owners really invested in players?'.
It's undeniably an interesting read, but one that is misleading - though I do not hold the writer culpable for this. The very nature of the premise 'how much have Liverpool's owners really invested in players' is unfortunately caught up with a great deal of misinformation that stems from the transfer orientated reporting of club business.
The result …
Liverpool v Man Utd: The Ugliest and Greatest Rivalry
For me this all started in May 1977.
I know this is going back a fair bit but bear with me.
It was a Saturday afternoon and the League Champions had to conquer the impertinence of Man Utd to secure a League and Cup double. This wouldn’t prove to be a problem. United had finished sixth that season – a full 10 points behind the Reds (two points for a win in those days, of course) and had been at …
The Klopp Project (Part 3): Challenging for the title
In my previous pieces, you can also read part 1 and part 2, I discussed the challenges facing Jurgen Klopp, or indeed any Liverpool manager, in landing the league title. Namely, the issue of finances and the sensible "restrictions" FSG pose on spending money; also, the issues that Klopp's tactical approach has had in overcoming the proverbial parked bus. This series is a look at what it takes to win a title so I will look at various options available …
