Oxlade-Chamberlain adds another dimension to Liverpool midfield
The 4-1 dismantling of Norwich City or the Super Cup triumph over Chelsea should be the highlight of the two weeks old 2019/20 campaign but the biggest positive so far arrived in the 2-1 victory against Southampton.
No, it wasn’t Sadio Mane continuing his destructive 2019 with a goal and an assist. It wasn’t Roberto Firmino opening his account for the campaign just days after coming off the bench to change the game against Frank Lampard’s side in Istanbul.
It …
Roberto Firmino could be even better this season
Roberto Firmino has started the season like he means business. It isn’t something Liverpool fans are used to with the Brazilian usually looking off the pace when he returns to pre-season after a summer break.
It’s by no means comparable to a Sunday League player trotting round the pitch after a heavy Saturday night but it’s safe to say Firmino tends to enjoy his summer breaks. He picks up the pace after a few weeks but fans have got used …
Fabinho's influence on the Liverpool midfield
Despite being European champions, Liverpool have a squad full of divisive players. Some are undervalued and some are simply misunderstood. There are a number who tick both boxes and one such player is Fabinho.
The Brazilian doesn’t score goals. He doesn’t assist them either. He doesn’t play 70-yard crossfield passes that are shown on the Match of the Day highlight reel and he’s not the sort to dance past four opposition players before picking out a team-mate. The former Monaco …
The Liverpool eleven Jurgen Klopp might go with against Norwich
Liverpool get the Premier League underway against Norwich this Friday night so we take a look at the starting lineup Jurgen Klopp might select.
After an impressive performance against Manchester City during last Sunday's Community Shield, Klopp has some big decisions to make around his first starting eleven of the season.
In goals, Alisson will start while new signing Adrian should be the reserve 'keeper for The Reds after Simon Mignolet's departure earlier this week.
Joel Matip's goalscoring substitute appearance …
Emre Can Deserves All The Inevitable Praise
Emre Can deserves this. In the following days, maybe even weeks, he’s going to be eulogized by Liverpool fans, waxing lyrical over his talents and all rushing to be the ones to claim that they always believed in him, as his spectacular bicycle kick, Liverpool’s goal of the season despite Phil Coutinho’s best efforts, gifted Liverpool a 1-0 win over Watford that puts them one big step nearer to Champions League football. And he absolutely deserves it.
And it was …
Liverpool's Rollercoaster Ride Ends - Consistency Inevitable
It’s been a very entertaining year for Liverpool fans across all seven corners of the world so far.
Scintillating games from October last year with masterful performances against Chelsea, Manchester City, Villareal and Borussia Dortmund, followed by disappointing results against West Ham, Watford, Southampton and Newcastle was indeed a rollercoaster ride last season, as said by plenty of Reds when Liverpool Football Club decided to part ways with incumbent Celtic manager Brendan Rodgers, and appointed who is probably their biggest …
Liverpool Need To Convert Leads into Victories - It's Not Easy
If it happens once you can pass it off as being normal. You're told that It happens to everybody and not to worry about it. You nod in agreement at the reassurance being offered.
If the same problem continuously happens then you have two choices; bury your head, pretend it's normal and carry on nodding or actually acknowledge there's an issue and look to rectify it.
Liverpool have a few problems, too many to state and if you attempted to …
Oddities and Aggression Reignite Liverpool's Season
From its opening shots back in Summer 2015, this season has been one of the most unpredictable ever seen. Even now, as we roll through March, nothing is certain.
Oh, unless you’re a Villa fan that is.
As a supporter I’ve never experienced anything like it. I mean we’ve all seen blips in the usually predictable landscape over the years. I remember Norwich City having a spell in the sun, Blackburn Rovers as champions, Newcastle United and their Keegan influenced …
The LFC turnaround under Klopp - Stoppage time Victories
Jurgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool and in his very first press conference he stated he wanted to turn 'doubters into believers'. The German spoke from the heart much like he always does and even though this phrase was aimed towards the fans who, towards the latter period of Rodgers' reign had turned cynical to the point that a win was a negative, he was also speaking to his players.
Anfield wasn't a fortress. In the past it was a VIP …
Danny Ward's time to shine?
After yet another mistake, this time against Sunderland, Simon Mignolet's time as undisputed Liverpool number 1 must be nearing an end. The ex-Sunderland 'keeper has had a torrid time this season and his 'mistakes' have cost Liverpool an apparent 15 points according to Squakwa.com. It's not as simple as this but add those 15 points to the clubs current tally now and it takes Liverpool to 50 points, and second in the league table.
Goalkeeping errors against Sunderland, Arsenal and …
