Xherdan Shaqiri
A sobering night in Belgrade saw a second successive away performance in the Champions League that left much to be desired. Far from the vintage Liverpool witnessed last season, this was as bleak as it gets for Jurgen’s men; no ingenuity, no guile and no drive for success or at least attempt to turn the […]
When Shaqiri first signed for Liverpool, there were plenty of sceptics. After all, this was a player notably lethargic out of possession, disinterested in tracking back and doing his defensive duties. Among those to voice their concerns was Gary Neville, who said that the Swiss international epitomised the unprofessional nature of Stoke City in 2017/18. […]
Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Cardiff has sparked cause for optimism among its fanbase, not just because it’s the first time Liverpool have put four past an opposition this season – a feat that becomes something of a hobby for Klopp’s team last term. No, it was also momentous for the full Premier League debut of […]
Prior to the season beginning, I wrote an article on what Liverpool must do to win the Premier League, taking into account things such as goals scored, goals conceded, points won and European form of title winners in the past 10 years. Another thing I touched on was the first 10 games, with the idea […]
Liverpool are top of the Premier League after a late spell of ruthless brilliance shattered Cardiff’s hopes of stealing a point at Anfield. The Reds’ dominance levels in the first half were nigh-on historic as they enjoyed around 85% of the ball but, while there was some neat interplay, Mohamed Salah’s opener proved the only […]
A supposedly ‘out of sorts’ Mohamed Salah acted as conductor as Liverpool primed themselves at the top of the Premier League table with a routine 4-1 win against Cardiff. Fresh of the back of a Champions League rout on Wednesday night, the Egyptian scored one and assisted two, taking his tally to seven for the season […]
After nervously scraping past Huddersfield at the weekend, a reinvigorated Liverpool were able to turn on in the style in a convincing, thoroughly enjoyable 4-0 win against the largely helpless Red Star. The Reds were slow out of the blocks, but as soon as Roberto Firmino fired home the opener they began to ooze confidence, […]
After the international break, it’s never quite as easy as you would expect for a team to pick up where they left off. Jürgen Klopp alluded to this in his post-match presser, as he cited the return of both Firmino, Fabinho and Alisson as late as Thursday. For all this disruption though, Huddersfield were still […]
Livepool’s midfield is holding us back. Our defence is looking as solid as it has done in years and we possess one of the most feared attacks in Europe but with a midfield that lacks any sort of dynamism or creativity, the Reds will struggle to evolve into genuine title challengers. It goes without saying […]
Liverpool have equalled their best-ever start to a Premier League season but the increasingly frustrating wait for the Reds to come alive goes on. Mohamed Salah’s tidy finish on 24 minutes should have set the visitors on their way to a comfortable victory, but fans would spend the final portion of the game longing for […]
