Post Match Raw: Reds Dominate Rodgers’ Leicester City

After defeat in the reverse fixture, this was a perfect opportunity for Liverpool to gain some revenge but more importantly move three points closer to league leaders Manchester City. On Post-Match Raw, Trev Downey hosted Dave Hendrick and Karl Matchett to debate the Reds' performance in their two nil victory over The Foxes. Dave started...

Where does Luis Diaz fit into Liverpool’s team?

So, it is Luis Diaz. Having been linked with a host of attackers over the last couple of months, the decision has been made and the Colombian looks set to be the latest addition to the Liverpool forward line. At the time of writing this, anyway. We could end up with another Nabil Fekir...

Diogo Jota & His Starting Role

When Liverpool signed Diogo Jota from Wolves, it was a signing that appeared reactionary to the failure to obtain Timo Werner. In the 18 months since he arrived, Diogo has proven to be not only a valuable rotation piece, but a player that can succeed Sadio Mané on the left-hand side of Liverpool‘s famed...

Trent & The Thiago Effect

The familiar stats regarding Trent Alexander-Arnold’s assists, appear now in each and every game. His rise to world class status has been truly sensational, and even the most deluded fans (or Gareth Southgate) cannot ignore his exceptional impact on the game any longer. After displacing Nathaniel Clyne some years ago, the slightly built fullback was...

Analysis: Liverpool Have Restored Hope, But Questions Remain

The Premier League title race has been widely declared 'over' on two occasions already this season. First, there was City's comeback win against Arsenal, the epitome of 'mark of champions', and then there was their victory at home to reigning kings of Europe Chelsea a fortnight later. 'If they don't drop points here,' we thought, 'when...

Crystal Palace 1 – 3 Liverpool – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 8.5 Outstanding reactions and moments of class. The tough stuff is done brilliantly, and the routine bits see complete assurance, and this sets him apart. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0 Tough to replicate Thursday's performance, against one of London’s stronger teams. His control of tempo and creation in the first half was still very...

Michael Owen – What Could Have Been

To say that Michael Owen creates controversy throughout the Reds' fanbase would be an understatement. The BT pundit is now as famous for his obvious analysis as his on field exploits. Given the talent, promise and initial impact of this former Liverpool man,  that is an utter tragedy. The former red is the absolute...

Liverpool 3 – 0 Brentford – The Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 7.0 A couple of good stops aside, it was pretty routine for the big Brazilian. Strong when collecting the ball, and another clean sheet. Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0 Looks like he’s missing is right hand partner Mo, and was sometimes forcing the cross into a crowded area. A solid overall game, but always...

An Opportunity Lost

When Liverpool emerged victorious to claim their 6th European Cup, it should have marked the start of domination for the reds. The League title was finally claimed a year or so later, and despite the lack of any substantial signings since, there was still strong signs that vast silverware could be claimed. That Champions League...

Why James Milner started against Chelsea

There is a misconception that if a player starts ahead of someone else, they are the better one. In reality, they are usually just viewed as the better fit for that game by the manager. Football these days is not a one size fits all sort of thing. It really is a squad game...
