Andy Robertson: Liverpool’s Other Record Breaker

Andy Robertson: Liverpool’s Other Record Breaker

Liverpool’s flying Scotsman charged into Manchester United from the first minute yesterday. He’s not one whose been grabbing the headlines in recent times, but Andy Robertson’s upturn in form has interlinked with his own clubs' recent improvement. The former Hull man now has a place in the record books on the back of Sunday’s victory and Jurgen Klopp was ready to go to town on the pitch invader that nearly took him out late on. Liverpool have a great deputy …
Trent Assisting: Hopefully The Re-Birth Continues

Trent Assisting: Hopefully The Re-Birth Continues

It’s not been the easiest of seasons for Trent Alexander-Arnold. Often singled out unfairly as the major issue in Liverpool’s defensive line, the West Derby born player has seen his and his team-mates performances and desire questioned on a number of occasions. On the back of Liverpool’s victory against Newcastle on Saturday, there’s a hope that he amongst others, has started to turn the corner as we approach the business end of the season. We’ve seen more than one false …
Tony Evans: Don't Listen to the Cloud Cuckoo Delusional Spoilt Brats

Tony Evans: Don't Listen to the Cloud Cuckoo Delusional Spoilt Brats

Shall we be Real? Well, we can’t be. Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. They are defending the Champions League, a trophy they’ve won in four of the past nine seasons. If you’re freaked out that Liverpool are not as good as them, you’re taking bedwetting to new levels. It is not a crisis when you get beat by Real Madrid. Nevertheless, Jurgen Klopp and his team should have done better. One of the worst cliches in …
Tony Evans: Trent Returns With Splinters in his Arse & Konate Should Whisper in Messi's Ear

Tony Evans: Trent Returns With Splinters in his Arse & Konate Should Whisper in Messi's Ear

There are a couple of shocking things about Trent Alexander-Arnold this season. The first is that England barely used him in their World Cup campaign in Qatar. The other is that he has no Premier League assists more than a third of the way through the season. The whole assist thing is not completely trustworthy. Opposition managers have to account for Alexander-Arnold and that opens up space for others. Even so, the 24-year-old’s crossing has been so productive in recent …
Southampton (H): What Lessons Did We Learn?

Southampton (H): What Lessons Did We Learn?

The performance proved to be good enough, but the result was all that truly mattered against Southampton on Saturday. In our last game before the World Cup, Liverpool simply couldn’t afford to surrender any further ground in their fight for a top-four finish. Ultimately, the Reds did prevail and in a certain sense, there’s a slight disappointment the break comes at a time when a sense of momentum was being built. However, as yesterday showed there’s plenty still to work …
Lessons Learned in the Reds' Victory Over Spurs

Lessons Learned in the Reds' Victory Over Spurs

A vital three points was obtained at the Spurs stadium, as Liverpool breathed some new life into a faltering league campaign. All the headlines were naturally grabbed by Mo Salah, as a ninth goal in eight games ensured the Reds at least kept the top 4 within their sites. There were a few other standouts from the game that it was impossible to ignore as the penultimate league match before the World Cup saw all three points return to Anfield. …
By the Numbers: Robertson vs Tsimikas

By the Numbers: Robertson vs Tsimikas

Little did we know an Alberto Moreno ankle injury during a 7-0 win over Spartak Moscow would turn out to be the best thing to ever happen to Liverpool's left flank. Moreno's ankle injury made way for ex-Hull City man Andrew Robertson, who quickly impressed, and continued impressing, and eventually just took Moreno's job flat-out. Robertson's crazy pressing, endless running, and enthusiastic hustle made him a fan favourite with Liverpool fans. Since Moreno's injury in January 2018, Robertson's starting role …
Which Liverpool Players Should Enter Into The Next Phase

Which Liverpool Players Should Enter Into The Next Phase

It’s international week, and unless it’s a major summer competition, I rarely pay any attention to the results and performances. The games usually revolve around occasions of no consequence, uneven match ups, silly qualification games, and a raft of ever-changing line ups. I checked on Monday to see whether the international break was over, only to learn it hadn’t even started. Liverpool's premature halt in their season has meant a prolonged stop, and it feels longer than the entirety of …
The Silly Season is (nearly) over...

The Silly Season is (nearly) over...

Silly season(n) 1: a period (such as late summer) when the mass media often focus on trivial or frivolous matters for lack of major news stories 2: a period marked by frivolous, outlandish, or illogical activity or behaviour. There’s been a lot of silliness. It’s roughly two months since the Champions League final. A disappointing end on the pitch to what was nearly the greatest season of all time. A near tragedy off the pitch. We didn’t quite get over the line …
Be Patient, The Best Is Yet To Come

Be Patient, The Best Is Yet To Come

When Andy Robertson signed from Hull City, it took nearly half a season for him to work his way into the first team of Liverpool. Albie Moreno was outperforming his expected levels, and the fact that Virgil Van Dijk was marshalling him, meant he was thriving at left back. Robbo was seen as a cheap option (compared to the inflated Ben Chilwell), and his signing didn’t move the needle much. His cost was basically recouped in its entirety, as Hull …
