Darwin Núñez and Clear-Cut Chances

You know the problem with Mohamed Salah? He’s ruined realistic expectations for the rest of time. When an attacking player signs for a new club and casually delivers 44 goals and 14 assists in their debut campaign like it’s the easiest thing in the world, what hope does anyone who follows in their footsteps have?...

Liverpool v Tottenham – Preview

This Sunday sees the start of three straight home games for Liverpool after a four-game winning streak. With just six games left on the Reds Premier League fixture list, the maximum points total they can accrue is just 71 points. As it stands, 60 points are held by our primary target, Manchester United, who...

Leeds 1 Liverpool 6 – Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.0 Shook off whatever issues he had before the weekend, in order to resume his duties in goal. Had to make some smart saves through the opening period as Leeds were able to break away too often. He could do little to stop Leeds's early second-half goal, as Ibou allowed a free...

Dr Phil Diagnosis: Bournemouth

After a dismal day on the south coast where the top four became a major ask, Dave Davis walks through the Bournemouth game with Dr Phil Barter from the Under Pressure Pod to find a snippet of what the data told us and look where it went so wrong. We looked at the impact...

Fighting Front Three From Five: Bring It On

It still seems almost crazy when you think back to Sunday’s events. Seven goals and more importantly four of Liverpool’s senior forwards found themselves on the scoresheet. With Bobby Firmino’s departure being announced this week, a lot of the reminiscing has quite rightly been about the original front three and how Mo Salah will...

Nunez Firing: Second Times A Charm

Nunez, Nunez, Nunez! The chant rang out loud as Roberto Firmino replaced him with a minute left on the clock against Wolves. Anfield has always known a player when they see one and the Uruguayan certainly has their backing. It’s been a mixed time for the former Benfica forward since his arrival at Liverpool...

Lessons Learned versus Crystal Palace

A hangover, Real Madrid still playing on their minds etc etc. Whichever way you dress it up or whatever excuses could be made, this was a terrible game of football. Crystal Palace’s own struggles aside, it’s hard to believe this was a team who are supposed to be chasing champions league football and as...

Front Three: Keep It The Same … For Now

Jurgen Klopp was clear and direct in his press conference on Friday morning. Liverpool have some knocks from the Real Madrid game, so they have and want to make changes to the line-up. Who and what they might be is open to speculation until 6:45pm on Saturday night, but the manager talked about focusing...

Wolves v Liverpool – The PL Preview

In a period where we only ever seem to play Brighton or Wolves, we are once again tasked with bouncing back from a disappointing result. Despite knocking Wolves out of the FA Cup a few weeks back, the Reds were unable to progress past the Seagulls in the very next round. This weekend’s game...

Tony Evans: The Narrative Surrounding Naby Keita is Ludicrous

The best quality a footballer can have is availability. It doesn’t matter how good you are if you can’t play. Daniel Sturridge might have been the best English striker of the previous decade but he didn’t get onto the pitch enough. Harry Kane would not have been close to becoming England’s leading goalscorer if...
