Inter Milan 0 - 2 Liverpool - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7.5
The worlds finest stopper, but it was the bar that saved him on 17 mins. A busy second half for his defensive line, and command led when needed.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.5
The assist machine nearly added to that tally on 14 mins,...
Alisson Becker - 7.5
Back after international duty, and a good stop early on from Maddison. Was fairly routine after that till the break. Rarely called into action in the second break, but was in command throughout.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.5
A little loose with a pass early on presented a chance for Maddison, but recovered...
In the aftermath of the Diaz transfer being confirmed, those involved on the Under Pressure podcast were investigating the stats behind the Reds' new signing.
In an effort to compare different leagues, Dan Kennett used two different academic studies (that you can read here and here).
"Arguing about domestic league strength is something that soccer fans...
Money will have played a part in the club’s decision to opt for Diaz over others. This is not a case of Liverpool being cheap or FSG being tight though.Â
The Reds have been linked with Arnaut Danjuma and Harvey Barnes over recent months. Â Both ply their trade on the left of attack and...
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Could do little for the goal, if unsighted. Looked angry, and seemed more vocal with Virgil not directing traffic.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.5
What a goal. A tough game to really expose Newcastle, but his quality was assured throughout. A goal saving challenge to cement a great game at both ends. Again,...
Alisson Becker - 8.0
Some important stops allowed Liverpool to avoid any issues. The most important goalkeeper in Liverpool’s Premier League era, and irreplaceable in this side.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0
So impressive in his game. The elegance and natural ability he has is unmatched by any other attacking fullback. Another assist for this sensational talent,...
Steven Gerrard is perhaps the greatest number 8 in Liverpool’s history. This week or next I’ll be taking a look at how this footballing colossus would have translated under a Jürgen Klopp regime. It is something that would have been a joy to behold, and the attacking force of nature would be almost unplayable...
For the best part of 20 years, Lionel Messi has been the best player in the world. The likes of Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Robert Lewandowski and even Gareth Bale have all been in contention for the second-best player in the world title at various times, but they’ve never eclipsed the Argentine maestro,...
Ramy Abbas, the agent of Liverpool's superstar striker Mohamed Salah has flown straight into Merseyside to discuss contract negotiations further.
In the red half of Merseyside, Ramy Abbas turned up at perhaps the most convenient time to discuss contract negotiations. Saturday morning, just hours before Liverpool were scheduled to face Watford, Abbas looked on...
Now and again an opposing side can cause such a stir it has the manager (on the receiving end) look deeply into said team, and more importantly their players. I wrote about the RB Salzburg tie from a few years back and how the intelligence, elegance and work rate of a certain Takumi Minamino,...
