Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain really found his groove as a midfielder for Liverpool during the 2017/18 campaign. He was a whirlwind in the middle third and he seemed to thrive in the chaos created by Jurgen Klopp’s ultra-aggressive system.Â
If you think back to the games against Manchester City, he was the wildcard. Pep Guardiola loves to...
Standards have now become so high that any dropped points can lead to dismay within the Liverpool fanbase. After a draw at home to Brighton, and a loss to West Ham, Liverpool head into this weekend with a clear need to improve.
The international window has (as always) brought back an array of injury concerns....
Andy Robertson's place in Liverpool's starting line-up is under intense scrutiny. Over the past few weeks, maybe even the past couple of months, the calls for Kostas Tsimikas to replace him have grown progressively louder.
Before the season began, I'd argue that the only position up for debate in Liverpool's strongest XI was centre-forward, but...
The want of any football fan is their team to be winning. The added fantasy scenario attached to that dream, is often too far fetched to comprehend. Yet in the modern game, fantasy football may not be that far away for Liverpool Football Club.
With Newcastle set to embark on a new era, they join...
Any new role undertaken at a sporting team (let alone a major club like Liverpool FC), brings a certain amount a risk, especially when the role was previously engineered with brilliance. FSG have made some high profile mistakes along the way, yet the overall structure of the club is now one to be admired.
As...
I was born on 12/11/81, so have been fortunate enough to witness some truly magnificent games as a Liverpool fan. The opinions and preferences are far reaching, and the glorious fact is that Liverpool FC continues to offer brilliance as a football club.
To look at singular games, I can easily think of marvellous matchups...
As the next international window begins, more and more players will be heading off to represent their specific countries. The amount of players that will be returning in a state of good fitness, is as ever, unpredictable.
Liverpool have undertaken this first stage of the season with as many questions as answers. Some games and...
With Liverpool now fielding a rotating cast of midfielders, it’s going raise the subject once more as to who Liverpool may sign in the next window. The reality is that no midfielder will probably arrive until next summer, when James Milner is poised to leave the club. There are certain avenues that can be...
I have written more about Gini Wijnaldum this season than last. His off ball intelligence was so understated, he could glide through games merely taking up good positions, and aiding the system with pure intelligence. His ability to help shield a solid defence, made that defence one of the best in Europe, and his...
Before the season started, I predicted that Liverpool would finish in third behind Manchester City and Chelsea. It was clear that, with our first-team centre-backs fit again and the structure of the team restored as a result, we'd compete for the title, but I did think we'd ultimately fall short.
Ten Premier League games into...
