Lessons Learned Versus Leicester
Seven wins on the bounce. It seems mad to say that and still be saying that the Champions League is unlikely. That being said, Liverpool were a league above an abject Leicester City which looks like it will be the case come the end of the season. Again the negative side to this is the fact they’ll pretty much gift the three points to Newcastle next Monday night. We look back at the lessons learned from a victory which could …

Alisson Becker - 8.0
Had a marvellous early stop (against Jamie Vardy), which allowed the reds to maintain a first half clean sheet. Made a wonderful single hand stop shortly after the resumption, to once again prove why he is the world’s best. Was quick off his line and assertive in his play.

Moments of brilliance and a keen desire to impact the reds attack, would …
Should Trent Move into Midfield Full Time?
Most of the Liverpool fanbase have been impatiently waiting all season, hoping that Jürgen Klopp would push Trent Alexander Arnold into a new midfield position. Many of us assumed it would be either a right-wing spot or as the RCM in a typical 4-3-3. Unlike in the summer (when the Pepijn Lijnders and Klopp adjustments made us worse), this most recent alteration has seen the club record six straight victories, whilst playing to a consistently good level. Much of this …
Tino Livramento And the Right Back Solution…
With our right back now spending so much of his time dominating the reds midfield, it was inevitable that a new fullback would be targeted by the reds. Some believe that this new on ball 3-4-3 box formation will become permanent, whereas some believe that a more refined 4-2-3-1 will be incorporated next season. In either scenario, it would absolutely require a new right rack to come in and offer either competition or back up. When considering the impact on …
Is There a Place For Trent At The Leadership Table?
For the entirety of Jürgen Klopp’s reign as Liverpool manager, Jordan Henderson and James Milner have acted as the captain and vice-captain of this glorious football club. With our former Leeds midfielder about to leave the club (for Brighton), it will leave an opening for that vice captain’s position. In seasons gone by, there has often been four prominent leaders within the squad, selected by our German head coach. Before his own departure, Georginio Wijnaldum was seen as one of …

Had a first half scare with the disallowed goal and a few aerial balls that needed catching, but was comfortable for much of the opening exchanges. Once again, the second half needed him to be assured with his handling, as Brentford refused to back off.

Trent Alexander-Arnold: The Strangeness of Assists
Data correct prior to Liverpool’s home game with Fulham on Wednesday
Mohamed Salah and Trent Alexander-Arnold seem to be engaged in a weekly battle to see who can equal, break and set new records most frequently at the moment. With his penalty against Tottenham, the former moved past Robbie Fowler and clear into sixth on Liverpool’s list of all-time goal scorers. By the time you read this, Salah may have scored three more to put Steven Gerrard behind him too.

Alisson Becker – 8.0
Had to make an early save as Fulham started brightly, yet much of the first half was about receiving and recycling possession. Had little to do through much of the second period as control seemed more important to Liverpool. Needed to stay strong when Fulham were clear late on.
