So here we are again. Barring a 2005-esque miracle in the Champions League, it’s another trophyless season for the Reds. The sixth one in a row. One league cup in 12 years. Not good enough. This was the perfect opportunity to have a run in a domestic competition – a home draw against an uninspiring […]
A good day at the office. Swansea are brutal but at least that meant Liverpool couldn’t ruin our Christmas. A professional and ruthless dispatchment of the Welsh side is all we could have asked for and that is exactly what we got. Here’s how I rated the players… SIMON MIGNOLET – 7 Had very little […]
Liverpool let a two-goal lead slip at the Emirates on Friday night as they drew 3-3 with Arsenal in one of the more entertaining matches of the season. The Reds went in front through goals from Philippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah and looked set to see the game out, but Arsenal mounted a comeback and […]
What a performance… On a night where Liverpool needed a big showing, my days did they get one. Liverpool simply had to avoid defeat to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League and they didn’t half avoid defeat. The Reds thumped Russian Champions Spartak Moscow 7-0 at Anfield in a magical night. Philippe […]
Liverpool will take to the field on Wednesday to face Russian champions Spartak Moscow in a must-not-lose Champions League match. In his press conference on Tuesday afternoon, Jurgen Klopp described the match as ‘THE game’ which tells us all we need to know about how strong his starting line up will be. Despite all of the […]
Let’s do this chronologically. When the team sheets were announced at 7pm on Wednesday evening, we were all a bit surprised. The approach was similar to that in the win over West Ham: a 4-2-4 or 4-4-2 depending on whether or not Liverpool were in possession. Would Chamberlain play on the left-hand side to protect […]
There’s no rest for the wicked. Liverpool play their fourth game in the space of eleven days as they travel to the Bet365 Stadium to face a struggling Stoke City. With his side just three points off the drop zone after a third of the season, Mark Hughes has come under severe criticism from the […]
So for the second time in the space of four days, Liverpool throw away a lead in the late stages of the match. Does the blame lie with a simple lack of defensive quality, a lack of leadership or a lack of tactical nous from the man on the sidelines? The simple fact of the matter […]
So in typical Liverpool fashion, the Reds gave away a three-goal lead in Seville on Tuesday night. This isn’t a match report so I will summarise: the Reds were really good and ruthlessly went 0-3 up then Albie Moreno decided to become Albie Moreno again. In the context of the group, a draw is actually […]
So the Reds go into the international break with three 3-goal wins in the space of a week. It wasn’t a classic Liverpool performance by any stretch against a dreadful West Ham side but it’s another three points and another four goals on the board. Here’s how I rated the players. SIMON MIGNOLET – 4 […]
The Reds return to Champions League action this week in the reverse fixture of the 0-7 thrashing of Maribor two weeks ago. With a few minor injuries on top of the obvious ones, and with Klopp looking to rotate in any case, we are set to see a much changed Liverpool line-up. Here’s how I […]
I hate cliché’s… but that really was a game of two halves. In the first period, Liverpool were flaccid and uninspiring and couldn’t carve out any clear-cut chances except a penalty they had gifted to them. In the second, a slice of luck for the first goal opened up the game perfectly for the Reds who […]
