Sunday afternoon sees the 2022 World Cup kick off, with Qatar due to face Ecuador in the tournament opener. With this unprecedented mid-season break now fully underway, it gives a moment to look at the Liverpool players who will be participating in the most controversial of competitions.
Below I’ll be detailing the players with their...
It’s confirmed, Trent Alexander Arnold will be participating in the World Cup in Qatar. With the injury to Reece James, Gareth Southgate had little choice but to call upon the heavily criticised Liverpool fullback for his final squad list. There has been a few eyebrow raising decisions made (by Southgate), but for the purposes...
Desperate times call for desperate measures, so is it time for Liverpool to give Trent Alexander-Arnold the midfield role he once shone in?
Another week, another bleak feeling of emptiness as a Reds supporter.
Last Saturday's 2-1 defeat at home to Leeds was arguably the nadir of the season to date, as the grim results keep...
There's not point in even pretending that performance was acceptable. Even with a couple of days to process and rewatch the game, it doesn't become easier to digest
The Good
Darwin Nunez
Jurgen Klopp placed a lot of faith in Darwin Nunez when he decided to spend what could become a club record fee to sign the...
Alisson Becker - 7.0
The weekends man of the (reds) match. He was made to deal with some tricky back-passes early on, but did enough to make sure he wasn’t caught out. Had a busier spell late on, but was determined to keep them at bay.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 8.0
Kept his place despite some poor form,...
Starters:
Alisson - 8
Week after week we rely on him, and he does his job. Trossard’s finishing becomes his problem, but for conceding three in a home match, you can’t ask for much more from the Brazilian keeper.
Trent - 5
Let's Trossard turn him for the opener, which matches the tone of the season thus far...
I read this morning how Trent Alexander-Arnold has been omitted from the England squad for the Germany game. I was neither surprised nor worried by the fact, as a mediocre manager (Gareth Southgate) has clearly settled on other options. Kyle Walker, Reece James & Kieran Tripper are all ahead of Trent in the Three...
The Starters:
Alisson Becker – 7
Well positioned to clear or gather any slightly overhit long ball, which came in useful once or twice. Didn't have much to do, but did it well.
Trent Alexander-Arnold – 8
What a strike! Trent looks like he's got something back after an underwhelming start to the season, but today he looked...
Manchester United 2 - 1 Liverpool - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 5.0
Had an early scare, with the post coming to his aid. Could do little for the opening goal as United pulled the Reds backline apart. A great fingertip stop from Eriksen’s free kick stopped the home side doubling their lead. The second...
For the third time under Jurgen Klopp, the Reds outlasted the detestable Chelsea FC in a penalty shootout to lift a trophy into the night sky. While Liverpool once again could not get a win in either regulation or extra time against the Blues, new heroes stepped up to complete the set for Herr...
