THIS time last year, Liverpool’s first-choice full-backs were Joe Gomez and Alberto Moreno. Turn the clock forward five years from now and it wouldn’t be a surprise if Trent Alexander-Arnold and Andy Robertson were still the men in possession. It already feels like...
LAST night wasn’t good, was it? Why couldn’t anyone in a red shirt pass to anyone else in a red shirt? I know Napoli’s pitch looked like it had been dug up, but still. We should have managed at least one shot on target. It’s really hard to...
Liverpool left the Stadio San Paolo pointless in the second group game of their Champions League campaign after a limp display in Napoli. Neil Atkinson and Sean Rogers pore over the finer points of the performance, where Liverpool went wrong and why, as well as what...
LIVERPOOL lost and they deserved to lose. The good thing about being good is being able to say: “That isn’t good. That isn’t what good looks like.” Before a ball was kicked I would have taken a point. Firstly, due to the group scenario but...
YOU can blame the pitch. You can blame the lack of changes from the weekend. You can blame Jürgen Klopp’s tactics on the night, or that he refused to make a positive substitution until it was too late. Whatever avenue of finger pointing you choose to explore,...
Liverpool found themselves on the receiving end of a deserved defeat against a good Napoli side tonight. They seemed to be just off the pace but nearly hung on for a point. Talking about the level of Napoli, what is wrong with The Reds and what needs to happen if...
JESUS. Ran ourselves into the ground for a big dose of nothing but cramp and tired legs for Sunday. Would probably have been better if they had just beat us early doors. Fine lines between a good, old-fashioned, hard-fought European away point, and a massive bowl of...
I REMEMBER a time when a Liverpool manager suggesting that players within a squad should be rotated was met with incredulity. The masses mocked, the media scorned and the ex-professionals screamed from the hilltops “WE DIDN’T NEED A REST IN OUR DAY”. It seems...
“ENJOY the game.” Those were the last words my mum text me following a conversation on Saturday afternoon. Enjoy the game? Sounds so simple, doesn’t it? Everyone is different, but some of us supporters tend to enjoy pretty much everything about matchdays apart from...
THE celebrations in those closing minutes at Stamford Bridge on Saturday tea time, were full blooded, defiant and maybe will come to be seen as disproportionate. We are apt to do this. I was part of an away end at Villa Park in Brendan Rogers last season that properly...
With recent talk about the quality and lack of depth in Liverpool’s squad, on this week’s Midweek Extra, we look at what work Liverpool need to do in the summer and what priorities should be as they look to address an imbalanced squad.
John Gibbons hosts Dan Eastwood, Jimmy Carr and Kieran Molyneux. Also in the show John chats to Beata Olsson, Zara Shaw and Denise O’Sullivan ahead of Liverpool FC Women’s FA semi-final at the weekend against Brighton .
