No Defence for the Lack of Centre Backs
The Pre-Match Press Conference Drama
The pre-match press conference for the Reds trip to Newcastle (this Sunday afternoon) was a combination of when Mohamed Salah would be leaving and when new additions would potentially arrive. On top of this, the already agitated fanbase was informed that we may well have lost Ibrahima Konaté to yet another injury. The vague reporting had the ailment as a muscular problem, which could mean just about anything, in terms of longevity. The whole point …

The Race for Perr Schuurs Heats Up

Fabinho Leaves, Who's Next in Liverpool's Midfield?
Would An Experienced Holding Midfielder Make Sense for Klopp…?
I am writing this latest piece with the assumption that Roméo Lavia will be signed in the coming days. It appears that the long-winded episode of both Jordan Henderson and Fabinho leaving for their new Saudi Pro League clubs, has seen our next unveiling delayed somewhat.

Tottenham 1 - 2 Liverpool - Premier League Man Of The Match
Tottenham 1 - 2 Liverpool - Premier League Man Of The Match
Mohamed Salah
A sensationally gifted and important player. His killer instincts killed off Spurs in the first half, and the point of the spear was as sharp as you could ever want.
With Nunez acting as the jagged edge, and Bobby the assured grip, this three man attack had some lovely and complimentary elements to it.
Mo showed everything he needed in that first half, and made the …
Tottenham 1 - 2 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Looked a little shaky on 15 mins as Spurs exploded with two chances, but did enough to keep the ball out. Was steady enough barring that. Had to make some good saves to keep the Reds in the game, and could do little about the Kane goal.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0
A brilliant cross field ball to Nunez set the trend for Trent, on the ball anyway. He struggled with quick paced attacks …
Liverpool 1 - 1 Tottenham - Man Of The Match
Luis Diaz
A wonderfully technical player, his skill set in possession was simply superb at times. His tenacious nature grew through the first half, as neat possession started to grow into brilliant penetration. The first half was a frustration for the reds, but it was clear that Diaz would be relied upon to keep the home side ticking along.
He got his goal to level proceedings, after another roaming dribble inside. The luck off the deflected effort couldn’t hide the …
Observations: Hard Work for The Reds against solid Spurs.
Let's address the issue on everyone's minds first. With only 1 point gained against Tottenham, Liverpool are now 3 points behind Manchester City if they won their game in hand. This means Jurgen Klopp and his boys now need City to lose a game rather than just draw. This makes it less likely, but it still can turn on a single result. Fingers crossed then. With that covered, onto the game itself.
The most striking thing from this game was …
