Milner
Disciplined, dogged and gritty. Those are probably the best three words to describe Liverpool’s performance against West Brom. It was by no means the eye-catching, fluid football we’ve come to expect from Jurgen Klopp’s side, but a moment of quality from Roberto Firmino was enough to seal another three points and bring The Reds a […]
At the start of the week I penned an article discussing the Liverpool players in the running for the club’s Player of the Year award. I chose five – Sadio Mane, Adam Lallana, Philippe Coutinho, Roberto Firmino and Jordan Henderson – and gave honourable mentions to Gini Wijnaldum and James Milner. The reaction to Milner’s […]
A game of two halves if ever there was one. Good on Klopp and Liverpool that they decided there is a game to be played in the second half. On the balance of intent, one could say that Liverpool deserved to win the game. First away win for Liverpool in 2017. How important will this […]
Liverpool supporters are currently indulging in the stressful pastime of facing an agonising wait for the results of Sadio Mane’s knee scan. Mane was taken off in the second half of the Merseyside Derby after a collision with Leighton Baines. He left Anfield without crutches – but manager Jurgen Klopp confirmed that he will be […]
Yet another team from the bottom half of the table. Yet another game where Liverpool drop points. It is no longer funny anymore. Liverpool might regret this at the end of the season as Liverpool failed to take advantage of a couple of other results. This is how the Reds fared today. Simon Mignolet (5) – […]
Liverpool continued their good home form against Top 6 rivals with a convincing win against the blue side of Liverpool. It’s always a particularly satisfying win when beating Everton but doing the double over them means the Red side are totally dominant this season. Anyway, back to the game – here are the ratings for the game. […]
Liverpool and Everton both have fresh injury news troubling them ahead of this weekend’s Merseyside Derby, an important one in the context of the season. The Blues haven’t won at Anfield in around a million years, but there’s always the next one for them to change that, and with Ronald Koeman’s resurgent Toffees coming in […]
Three quarters of another season have passed and it looks like Liverpool FC has the same old defensive problems. The team is on course to concede over 40 goals for the 7th straight season. That means that the last time LFC conceded less than a goal per match – you guessed it, Rafa Benitez was […]
Jürgen Klopp has a footballing style and philosophy that he sticks to very rigidly. His high-pressing, high defensive line, fluid forward line 4-3-3 has been the default for him this season. However, there have been times when the style, the formation, and most importantly the tactics, simply haven’t worked for Klopp, and his tactical stubbornness, […]
Football fans are hypocrites. Downright hypocrites. Yes, you! I’m talking about you. Specifically you. You more than most. Not me though. I’m pure as the driven snow. What has driven me to this tirade? It’s this. On Sunday afternoon, in the hammering rain of the Etihad, Liverpool’s left-back was booed. People actually contorted their faces […]
