Lessons Learned against Newcastle United
It’s quite staggering that in a season where Liverpool have been largely woeful that they still have a chance to finish in the top four. The gap to Newcastle is now reduced to just six points and with a game in hand. There were plenty of ups and downs in a game that we never fully controlled, Cody Gakpo made it two-in-two and Darwin continued his resurgence but three points was all that mattered in the end. We look back …

Alisson Becker
It is frustrating to have to award the man of the match to our keeper so often, but it is a pure indication of how utterly world class he is.
His decision making, rapid movement from his line, smothering of attackers, and clean handling are so elite, I do not believe anyone in world football is even close to him.
Newcastle had a couple …

Alisson Becker - 9.0
The monstrous keeper made some vital first half saves, one which was a brilliant one on one stop to keep the scores level. So quick off his line and really papered over some cracks within the reds shield. Was not overly busy in the second half as a sense of game management started creeping in. Late on he made a brilliant stop against Wilson, smothering a shot …

Alisson Becker - 7.5
The nervy situations were inevitable, but this man dealt with such moments like the worlds greatest keeper should. The chances for Newcastle were limited, but everything was smothered by the giant Brazilian.
Joe Gomez - 8.5
Effort and tenacity in abundance. He was up and down the line constantly, and looks like the relative freedom is being basked in. The odd cross field ball was on point, and the crossing was pretty good too. The defensive …

Naby Keita
It’s amazing that he’s Liverpool’s third best midfielder this season, with such a brilliant term of form.
He kept things ticking today, was efficient in possession, and pressed whenever it was required. Such a balanced player, that simply has to play when Thiago does not.
The goal was critical, and he took it like a seasoned striker. His movement quality today stood out, and he was the player able to drive from midfield …
Observations: The Reds celebrate Jurgen's new contract with a win
Today Liverpool were the calmest ones in the room. Many fans will have been increasingly nervous as the seconds ticked by and the scoreline stayed at just 1-0, but despite a few misplaced passes, the Reds stayed as calm as you like, defended the space, and gave up nothing to see out the win. Newcastle had a measly 4 shots in the game, all of which were from considerable distance and didn't give Alisson much trouble. Joe Gomez, rotated in …
What should Liverpool do with Joe Gomez?
Joe Gomez made his first start in the Premier League for 468 days in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Norwich City. He was used as a right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold being given a rare day off.
Some thought he did well, others really did not like him in the full-back role. I think how you viewed this outing was tied to the expectations you had heading into the match.
He was not ever going to replicate what Alexander-Arnold does for the …
