Can’s Moment Of Magic

After weekend results went in their favour, Liverpool relied on their midfield machine Emre Can to come up with the goods in a rather drab meeting with Watford.

Philippe Coutinho’s first half free-kick was the only real moment of brilliance as Christian Benteke came back to haunt his former side with a brace. The little magician certainly started […]

The Unsung Hero of Liverpool’s Win At Stoke

The magic Brazilian duo of Coutinho and Firmino were the match-winners for Liverpool, but Simon Mignolet deserves equal credit for the 2-1 victory. After going 1-0 down in a first-half dominated by the home side, Liverpool had now kept just one clean sheet in their last 13 games. Mignolet simply couldn’t stop a powerful header […]

Coutinho Shines in Merseyside Derby

In a derby that has somewhat lost some of its fierceness down the years, Liverpool’s little magician was at the centre of the action in a fine home performance for the Reds. It was the midfielder’s combination of skill with brains that an inexperienced Everton defence simply couldn’t handle. A cunning decoy run allowed Mane […]

A Combined Merseyside XI

With Liverpool’s ever-changing nature of their first choice keeper, Joel Robles of Everton gets the nod in between the sticks. The Spaniard replaced Maarten Stekelenburg during the reverse fixture, and since then has kept nine clean sheets in his 13 starts. Conceding just ten goals in these 13 games, Robles stands out in a list […]

Emre Can shines in impressive Liverpool display

Emre Can was the stand out performer for Liverpool against Manchester City, although he certainly had support from team-mates in a well-earned 1-1 draw at the Etihad. Strength and skill are prominent features to the midfielder’s game, and these features were crucial in setting the tone for the entirety of the game. In arguably his […]

Liverpool’s Man of the Match against Burnley was…

In another lackluster Anfield performance of 2017, Liverpool barely scraped past Burnley as the game ended 2-1 to the home side, however. It was an ugly Liverpool victory to say the least, and it wasn’t easy to find an outstanding player among a team full of average performances. Georginio Wijnaldum however showed his worth, with […]
