Breaking: Two Liverpool defender to miss Champions League clash with Genk

Image
Trent Alexander- Arnold will miss Liverpool's trip to Switzerland after picking up a knock during training. 

The Guinness World holder for the most assist by a defender in a single league campaign will now be replaced by James Milner or Joe Gomez. Why? 

Liverpool do not have a like for like replacement for the full backs neither do they've for the wingers. Andy Robertson, Alexander Arnold, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane do not have quality replacement.. But rather makeshift players who can put in a shift and get the result until their back. 

Another news coming in from Melwood is that Joel Matip have missed today's training season and could also miss the trip to Switzerland. 

Matip is reportedly suffering from cramps and could miss the clash.. 

In his absence, Klopp will certainly call on Dejan Lovren who played very well against Leicester City in which Liverpool went on to win 2-1. 

Liverpool have played two Champions League matches, losing one to Napoli (2-0) and winning one (4-3 to Salzburg).

But a defeat will be catastrophic, Jurgen Klopp and his team will be under immerse pressure from the press who will instantly judge their credibility.  Benitez don't want to see that happen but warns Liverpool against complacency.  "Liverpool are six points clear at the top of the Premier League and they are favourities to win the title.

Manchester City star Raheem Sterling or Liverpool ace Sadio Mane: Who is world's best left forward

On current form and performance, Liverpool star Sadio Mane and Manchester City star Raheem Sterling are world's finest left forwards in football..  Both stars are extremely fast, strong, skillful, creative and above all, very good in finding the back of the net.  They both average a ratio of 1 goal a game and created at least 4 to 5 chances each game.. But the question is which of the two is better.  Raheem Sterling:  Sterling have remained pivotal in what Pep Guardiola is planning to do at Manchester City. In his 4 year sting at City, the English man has won 7 trophies including back to back Premier League titles while scoring a staggering 89 goals in 132 appearances..  Rated as the second most expensive player after Kylian Mbappe, Sterling has taken his game to whole new level..

Liverpool coach Jurgen Klopp reveals who will replace 'injured Fabinho in midfield'

Liverpool FC have confirmed Fabinho will be sidelined for the next 6- 8 weeks with a ankle injury. The Brazilian will miss roughly 10 games including the FIFA Club World Cup scheduled to be held in Qatar.  His absence will be felt, knowing he has developed into of the best holding midfielders in the world. But Liverpool have enough midfielders reckons Jurgen Klopp who has pinpointed 3 players who he think can play that role.  Naby Keita, Adam Lallana, Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson are the four players Klopp believe can play that role.  Realistically, only Jordan Henderson can play that role perfectly due to his physical strength, tenacious tackling and discipline..  "Naby is OK. No more injuries from Napoli other than Fabinho", Klopp told reporters during his press conference.  'It's an opportunity for someone, of course. Hendo, Gini and Lallana have all played it. We can system too. Losing a player of Fab's quality is a blow but we are not th...

Maurizio Sarri wins the mentality battle: Cristiano Ronaldo is back to his best for Juventus

Muarizio Sarri wanted a statement from Cristiano Ronaldo now he has. Ronaldo has fired Portugal to brink of Euro 2020 qualification after scoring a hat-trick {his 56th career hat-tick} in Portugal's 6-0 win over Lithuania.  The 34-year-old has now scored 98 International goals in 163 games and looks likely to reach a century when Portugal take on Luxembourg on Sunday.  Sarri thought for moment he could be the coach to close the book on Ronaldo, the man who will finally tell Cristiano Ronaldo; 'You're just not good enough and have to sit on the bench or leave'.  But how wrong was he, Ronaldo posses a giant mentality and hates to be told he is not good enough to play or last the entire match.. Against Lithuania, it sparked him back to live and give him another reason to keep fighting and proving to each and everyone who doubted him that he is the best player in the world. Put it this way, Ronaldo's rebirth is good news not just to Portugal but to Juventus and Ma...

Did Alexander Arnold commit two penalties against Manchester City?

Liverpool might have beaten Manchester City 3-1 at Anfield but they were controversial moments that shocked the world of football including Pep Guardiola.  The Spanish tactician was visibly seen screaming his lungs out to the fourth official Mike Dean, alerting him that Trent Alexander Arnold has just committed not just once but two penalties.. Arnold first handled the ball in the build to Liverpool's first goal and later, repeated the same theatrics as City were desperately looking for a second goal to pin back Liverpool.  Guardiola has never been furious like this before and if not for his years experience he would've said something about Micheal Oliver, Trent Alexander Arnold, the VAR and even Anfield crowd that kept cheering despite seeing the fouls.  The game is over and the score line can't be revised so the question remains, did Arnold real commit a penalty against Manchester City?

Chelsea did pull back a goal through N'Golo Kante before they're inability to finish off chances might Liverpool where going ot make it 15 consecutive wins in a spin and their 7 away victory in the Premier League. Here are the five things we learned: 1. Liverpool can't keep clean sheets- Liverpool's 3-0 win over Burnley is the only clean sheet they've managed to keep all season which frankly needs to improve. Jurgen Klopp might now care at the moment but he knows if he is to win the Champions League he has to keep clean sheets at home and score away 2. Chelsea must ditch zonal marking and focus on man to man marking- The ease in which Roberto Firmino scored Liverpool's first goal of the night ...

Liverpool 2-1 Crystal: Firmino is no average striker and 5 things we learnt

Another game, another victory, Liverpool have finally discovered how to grind out results even when playing way below average.  Palace were good to watch, they stopped Liverpool's swashbuckling football in the first 15 minutes of play and put them to the sword by scoring the first goal only for VAR {Video Assistant Referee} to choke it off.  The first half might have ended in stalemate but the second half saw Liverpool take the initiative through Sadio Mane whose snap shot evaded everyone and found the back of the net.  Wilfred Zaha did restore parity to keep Palace fans believing but in the dying minute, Firmino scored the winning goal to put Liverpool 2-1 up and eight points clear of Leicester City.  Here are the five things we learnt:  1. Van DIjk is a monster, he is a world class defender-  Where will Liverpool be without Van Dijk? Porbably in 7th place or most likely 10th. He won every aerial ball, tussled with Jordan Ayew and came out on ...

Why Barcelona players were all ready to 'reduce their salaries' just to bring Neymar back

Gerard Pique's revelation that Barcelona player were ready to reduce their salary just to get Neymar back was shocking but yet, understandable.  In the past two season, Barcelona have been bruised, battered  and humiliated in the Champions League by AS Roma and Liverpool. The latter 'Liverpool' really crushed them, evident from the video footage of the players mourning and sulking in the dressing room.  The old guards Lionel Messi, Sergio Busquet and Gerard Pique knew at that moment they needed Neymar back.. They needed the man who massively helped in winning them they're fourth Champions trophy back in 2015.  If Neymar had played against AS Roma and Liverpool in the second leg of the Champions League semi final, Barcelona would've faced Real Madrid and Tottenham Hotspur in the final and won it.  Messi would've had 6 Champions League and not four.. Neymar is a world class player, a game changer and returning to Camp Nou will instantly make Barcelona favour...
