Liverpool's Biggest Moments 2018/19 - The Premier League
The 2018/19 season has been over for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been a full month since the Premier League finished, so it seems like a good time to reflect on what was an absolutely scintillating campaign for Liverpool.
Now, I wanted this list of moments to be a bit different for a couple of reasons: there are obviously a few that speak for themselves, which could make elements of a top five list a bit predictable. So …
Liverpool's Biggest Moments 2018/19 - The Champions League
So in part one of this series, I wrote about Liverpool’s top five moments in their Premier League season, from my perspective. With the UCL, it’s maybe a little easier, and at the same time, a little harder, to produce a top five. On the one hand, it’s very easy because there are pretty much five standout moments in the campaign – so I’m indeed going to go with something along the lines of the five moments that you might …
Dejan Lovren: Sell or Keep?
The 29-year-old Croatian defender has slipped down the pecking order at the club over the past season.
Long term injury and the performances of Joe Gomez and more recently Joel Matip have meant Lovren currently occupies the space of fourth choice centre back
With the summer transfer window almost upon us rumours are beginning to swirl about the players future at the club.
AC Milan are reported to be interested in Lovren who is thought to be available for a …
Gomez: The Reason LFC Don't Need a Superstar Centre-Back
I found myself watching England in the UEFA Nations League third-place playoff last weekend - a pretty sad state of affairs.
When your Sunday looks empty on the social front and no other 'proper' football is on, it's (just about) better than nothing, though.
The standout figure as the Three Lions edged out Xherdan Shaqiri's Switzerland was Trent Alexander-Arnold, who put together a masterful performance highlighting why he is one of the world's most exciting full-backs.
It was no surprise …
Why claims Liverpool don't need players like de Ligt are wrong
There's been an unrivalled amount of chatter surrounding the future of Ajax's Matthijs de Ligt in recent weeks, with plenty of rumours linking him with a move to Anfield.
However, reports in the past 48 hours seem to point toward the Dutch wonder kid joining PSG.
There's also talk of Liverpool making moves for Lille's Nicolas Pepe and Sporting Lisbon's Bruno Fernandes.
While it's difficult to quantify anything at this stage of 'silly season', one thing that we do know …
Liverpool Need To Start Looking Beyond This Summer
The dust hasn’t yet settled on Liverpool’s sixth Champions League final win in Madrid, which you can tell from the fact that I keep getting tingles every time I write that god damn sentence. But in any case, the speculation has, naturally, turned to what Liverpool are going to do next in the transfer market.
I’ve previously stated before that I’m not really that bothered, either about transfer markets in general or specifically about who Liverpool sign this window and …
Virgil Van Dijk - Here To Stay
Virgil Van Dijk has been not just one of Liverpool’s best players this season, but one of if not the best player in England. His deserved triumph at the PFA Player of the Year awards, coupled with the fact that he’s now a realistic contender for the Ballon D’Or, means that he is swimming in accolades. It’s incredibly difficult to compare across positions, so let’s just say that he’s the best defender in world football, and almost certainly a top …
Liverpool FC: From 4-1 Humiliation To Champions Of Europe
Define ignominious: Liverpool's 4-1 defeat away to Tottenham in October 2017.
That dank autumn afternoon was Jurgen Klopp's nadir as Reds manager, at a time when the first few doubts were creeping on about this most charismatic of men.
While he wasn't under the kind of pressure many managers find themselves under at low points, frustration was clear and the German was in a rare fragile position.
The loss at Wembley left Liverpool sitting ninth in the Premier League, with …
Player Ratings for the Six Time European Cup Winning Reds
Told Gags I'd do the ratings regardless of the result, but come on, thank fuck we won. Just back from the parade myself. Did you make it? Not a big surprise if you did, given there were 750,000 fans of the Reds knocking about. Oh, apologies. 750,000 fans of the SIX TIME EUROPEAN CUP WINNING REDS.
If you think this is going to be anything other than a cluster of 10's and a love letter to each individual that graced …
Liverpool Player Ratings: End of Season Edition - Part One
It's that time of year again, a time for reflection. A memorable domestic campaign drew to a disappointing end for Liverpool as a ninth straight league win wasn't enough to prevent Manchester City from a successive title, but there were a string of positives - one of which being qualification for another Champions League final.
Whilst we're still a couple of weeks from finding out if the Liverpool squad can make themselves heroes by bringing home number six from Madrid, …
