Liverpool’s New Shape

This game wasn’t like that, though. It finished 2-0 but it could’ve easily have been 5-0. In fact, it probably should’ve been.  Jurgen Klopp, to...

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Trent’s understudy

Trent Alexander-Arnold is a problem for Liverpool. A good one, but, nevertheless, a problem. He’s a unique right-back and it means that whenever he doesn’t start, there’s a noticeable drop-off in quality and quite a shift in style.  The 22-year-old came through the ranks as a midfielder and it’s why he’s so comfortable when tasked...

Why Liverpool Fans Need To Kabak Ozan

Let's call a spade a spade: Ozan Kabak's opening two appearances in the Premier League for Liverpool have been nothing short of disastrous.

Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 0-2 Everton

Carlo Ancelotti's Everton piled on more Merseyside misery for Liverpool, as they won by two goals at Anfield, their first away derby victory this century.

Heavy metal football and squad dynamics
