In part 1 of the lineup analysis, I had a look at our goalkeepers and defense. Part 2 will focus on midfield and attack.
The midfield
Even after Karius' nightmare performance in Kiev, the midfield is still Liverpool's weakest line going into 2018/2019. Emre Can is likely leaving, James Milner will be 33, Jordan Henderson is...
A team with an esteemed European history, Kiev will be Liverpool’s first final in 11 years and their eighth overall, drawing them level with Barcelona – behind only AC Milan, Bayern Munich and this year’s opponents, Real Madrid. Yet, there’s been something unique about this campaign.
It’s not often you see a team utterly blitz...
Bias exists in football, there is no doubt about that.
We all overly heap praise on the teams we support and the players we love, while those we dislike must do something magical to earn a similar level of adoration.
One thing that has nothing to do with favouritism, however, is just what a likeable bunch...
For many, in fact a whole generation of Liverpool fans only slightly younger than me, the Champions League Final in Kiev could well be their biggest night of supporting Liverpool Football Club. Istanbul and the glory that it provided was 13 solid years ago, and whilst the Reds came close to winning the Premier...
Liverpool booked a place in the group stages of the UEFA Champions League for next season, with an easy 4-0 win over Brighton at Anfield. Mo Salah and Dejan Lovren put the Reds in command at half-time, before Dominic Solanke and Andy Robertson scored their first goals for the club, to put the gloss...
Jurgen Klopp was adamant attentions must be solely placed on Brighton this week, waving away the English media who were fixated on a date with destiny in Kiev.
His players duly responded, signing off their Premier League campaign in perfect style as they dominated Brighton from start to finish. There were yet more individual records...
Twenty-year-old Dom Solanke was signed last summer in a heist from Chelsea. The forward subsequently went on to take the U20 World Cup by storm, taking home the Golden Ball for the tournament’s most outstanding player.
A PRESEASON OF PROMISE
After showing flashes throughout Liverpool’s preseason schedule, there was a serious buzz around Solanke as it...
Liverpool fell to a disappointing 1-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge, a result which keeps their top four hopes in the balance as they need to win their game on the final day against Brighton. But what were the key stats from a poor day at the office for the Reds?
Stuttering Attack Hits A Brick...
One team were busy booking a date with destiny in the newly named 'Sadio Olimpico' on Wednesday night.
The other? Well, they enjoyed a week of preparation with all their eggs in domestic baskets after crashing out the competition earlier in the campaign.
Inhibited by ongoing injury issues within the squad, Jurgen Klopp had little choice but...
Liverpool are in the Champions League final. Just keep thinking about that.
The Champions League final - the biggest match in club football - and Liverpool are in it, in their first season back in the competition since 2014/15.
It is a genuinely staggering achievement and one that Jurgen Klopp merits endless plaudits for masterminding. But...
