Defensive Reinforcements: Schmadtke May Need To Play Bad Cop

Focusing on Lavia, Henderson, and Fabinho Lavia, Henderson and Fabinho. Pretty much every Liverpool story, tweet, ideas or discussion has revolved around those three players (understandably) for the last week or so. Even articles from the man who everyone has notifications set - David Ornstein - has been reporting on those situations. Defensive Gaps Overlooked From a...

Szobozlai Move: The Niggling Net Spend Worry

In the happiest of ways at the moment, Liverpool seem to like certain midfielders who have a set release clause in the contract. With Dominik Szobozlai set to join Alexis Mac Allister at Anfield any day now, the Reds will have already spent a cool £95 million or so with the window having only...

We Need to Sell Players Like Kostas & Take Money Off Others Again…

In the early stages of Jurgen Klopp’s reign, Michaels Edwards was able to pull off some amazing robberies. Players that sat firmly on the fringes of the Liverpool first team were directed towards clubs that were desperate to part with their money. The strategy and recruitment side of the club was almost flawless, with...

Anfield Departure Lounge: Cashable Options

If you offered all Reds the option, you suspect most would be happy to call the season now and move straight to the summer window. Every game that Liverpool play seems to serve as a stark reminder of the rebuild that’s needed before next season. Jurgen Klopp has changed tack slightly and spoke publicly...

Which Liverpool Players Should Make Way for The Regeneration?

The worse this Liverpool team gets, the more likely there will be wholesale changes within the club. I don’t think the manager is a certainty to start next season in our dugout, but there are many players I would rather see leave before our illustrious German coach. Klopp has recently dismissed the notion of...

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....

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...

The Player Ratings: Liverpool 4 – 0 Arsenal

Alisson Becker - 7.5 Mistakes will come now and again, but the world's best stopper showed a commanding presence in a routine display. Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.5 Sensational. The teams primary playmaker is transcending the fullback position. Any manager in world football (club football anyway) would have this man over any other, and his domination of...

Assessing Andy Robertson’s 2021/22 Form

Andy Robertson's place in Liverpool's starting line-up is under intense scrutiny. Over the past few weeks, maybe even the past couple of months, the calls for Kostas Tsimikas to replace him have grown progressively louder. Before the season began, I'd argue that the only position up for debate in Liverpool's strongest XI was centre-forward, but...

The Tsimikas & Robertson Rivalry

Competition is a good thing, and a comfortable player can be a potential risk in critical situations. To have two players vying for the same position can add intensity, urgency and quality to either players' performance. The ability to rotate also allows a few vital components, aside from fears of being dropped raising a...
