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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
To look at the current season so far, it’s had far more highs than lows. The quality of the team has often blown opposition sides away, yet still issues are apparent within the group. The Christmas period descended into league wide chaos, and the reds enter the new year with a variety of questions...
Caoimhin Kelleher - 8.0
Could do little for the goals, and was assured throughout. A very good backup to Becker, and given the circumstances, should be proud of his showing. Great stop from Pulisic early on.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0
Another assist for this sensational player, and further showing of his overall game. Solid in defence...
Manchester City will inevitably win this season's Premier League title, but Liverpool and Chelsea will certainly look to push as long and hard as they can, in the hope of an Etihad slip.
This weekend represents the biggest game of Liverpool’s season, and one after such a disappointing midweek showing. The away loss to Leicester...
