Milner plays like his 20 and 5 things we learnt in Liverpool's 2-1 win over Leicester City

Image
Another game, another win, Liverpool have beaten Leicester City 2-1 Anfield to make it 8 wins consecutive. 

 The Reds have now made it 46 matches without a defeat at Anfield and scored an incredible 106 goals at home. 96 of those goals have come from Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah. 

 Mane yet again proved why Lionel Messi rates him as the best player in the world by scoring an unbelievable goal to put Liverpool 1 nil up and then making key interceptions and tackles to the delight of the fans. 

 His goal though was cancelled by James Middson but, Mane yet again won a penalty which James Milner converted to give Liverpool all three points. 

 Here the five things we learnt: 

 1. Dejan Lovren is a better defender than Joe Gomez and deserves to start ahead of the English man- 

 Lovren showed again why Jurgen Klopp wanted him to stay at Anfield despite the cash off from AS Roma and AC MIlan. 

 Klopp knows Lovren is a World Cup finalist and at his best he is among the top 5 defender in the world. He was just too good for Liecester City. 

 2. Sadio Mane will hit the 20 goal mark this season- 

 The Premier League's highest goal scoring Senegalese will hit the 20 goal mark this season. He already has 5 goals in the Premier League and looks good enough to rival Tammy Abraham or Sergio Aguero to the golden boot.

 3. James Milner should replace Jordan Henderson in the first team-

 If Milner was 25 or 26-years-old, he would've been given a 5 year contract along with the captain armband. He covered more grounds then any person in the pitch, assisted Sadio Mane's first goal with a well timed pass and then scored the winning goal from the spot. 

 He is a special player and Liverpool are lucky to have him. Fabinho and Wijnaldum are also brilliant players. 

 4. James Madison and Youri Talismans will become top players- 

 Leicester City midfielder James Madison and Youri Talismans both have the technical skills to develop into world class players. They are quick, strong, skillful and good in a one on one situation. 

 Against Liverpool, Madison showed his class by dictating the tempo of the game before smashing in a equalizer which unfortunately turned out to be a consolation goal and not the equalizer. 

 5. Leicester City can finish in the top 4-

 Leicester City have all it takes to finish in the top 4 this season.  Already, the top two is known, Liverpool and Manchester City but the remaining two spots are yet for grabs. 

 Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur at the moment won't finish in the top 4 which leaves Chelsea and Arsenal as the only club capable of stopping Leicester City from tasting Europe football for the second time in 4 years.

De Bruyne warns: I don't care about the record at Anfield, we will beat Liverpool

Kevin De Bruyne has bruised aside the popular notion that Manchester City will always lose at Anfield when they face Liverpool.  City are yet to win at Anfield since 2003 but De Bruyne thinks its all meaningless statistics that will be ended on Sunday.  A draw at Anfield will be ok but a win will be fantastic for Pep Guardiola and City who will close the gap to 3 points and pile pressure on Liverpool. But a defeat will hand the initiative to Liverpool who will move 9 points clear of the reigning champions. Asked about the record, De Bruyne said: "What can a player do with statistics like this?" the midfielder asked reporters.  "It's for you guys to keep track, i don't care. The big games are the ones you want to play and win.  "I prefer to play in that than when there is nobody there. Professionals want to play in front of 50,50, 70, 80 thousand people and it makes it worthwhile. You train all your life to get to the big stages".  De Bruyne...

Why Emre Can's decision to leave Liverpool for Juventus have backfired

April 28, 2018 was the day Emre Can decided his time at Liverpool was over. He felt Jurgen Klopp's Reds weren't good enough to win trophies neither do they've the luck needed to win it final.  The 2018 Champions League defeat to Real Madrid was heart wrenching remembering how it all ended. Loris Karius high profile mistake condemned Liverpool to their fourth successive defeat in a cup final. T That defeat was Jurgen Klopp's seventh defeat in a cup competition since he won the 2012 DFK-Pokal with Borrusia Dortmund.  For a while, leaving Liverpool was justifiable, Emre Can saw Manchester City dominating the English league while predicting Liverpool will crumble just like Tottenham Hotspur who are yet to get themselves after losing the Champions League final.  Emre Can wasn't the only player that thought that way, Philippe Coutinho also decided he had to go to a bigger and better club which he did and we all know how that ended.  But, the green is not alway...

Fact or fiction: Is Liverpool becoming dependent on Sadio Mane?

Sadio Mane is the world's best left back, debatable, but a vast majority of Liverpool fans will agree that he is outstanding and a leader in front of the pack.  He fights for the team; puts his body on the line to get maximum points and wouldn't mind picking a fight with his teammates, opposition and even the coaching staff. Mane is born winner and his display proves it.  Former Tottenham and Manchester Untied forward Garth Crooks feels Liverpool are relying heavily on the Senegalese international.  Why, he has scored nine goals and providing three assists in 14 appearances and he was the reason they defeated Leicester City and Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Both games would've ended draws had Mane not gone down in the box.  Mane just knows Liverpool won't win it if he doesn't put his body on the line and he those.  "Two seasons ago it was Mohamed Salah who was carrying Liverpool", Crooks told BBC Sports.  "Last season it was Virgil van Di...

Roy Hodgson reveals what Crystal Palace must do to beat Liverpool

Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson is confident of becoming the first Premier League manager to beat Liverpool this season.  The Reds are unbeaten this season having won 11 games and drawn just once to Manchester United. In fact, Liverpool's last defeat came in hand of Manchester City which was last season.  Since that defeat, Liverpool have gone to win 42 matches and drawn 6 with no defeat.  Hodgson who managed Liverpool from {2010-11} feels he has the antidote to neutralise Liverpool.  "We have to restrict the space their front three are good at using. We have to defend the wide areas", Hodgson said during his press conference.  "We have to make sure our defending around the penalty box is very good. They are a very energetic team, a high pressing culture that when the ball is lost they work very hard to win it back and we need to have composure to free ourselves from our pressure." Crystal Palace haven't beaten Liverpool in any compe...

10 years without a trophy! Its time Harry Kane ditch Tottenham Hotspur

Last season was memorable, Tottenham Hotspur were very close to lifting their first ever Champions League trophy. If they had won it, Spurs would've been the dream club of every elite player.  Superstars all over the world would've joined at the opportunity to play for them while the likes of Christian Eriksen, Vertonghen, Ross and others won't hesitate to extend their contract. But the defeat to Liverpool was sour and the bitter taste have lingered on till this very day.  Spurs have dropped to a level of mediocrity never seen before and questions are beginning to be asked about the manager's commitment to the club's course as well as players.  The top players are running down their contract with the view of moving else where there's a realistic chance of winning trophies.  That idea of leaving has gobsmacked Harry Kane who now knows he might never win a single trophy with Spurs despite having Mauricio Pochettino as his manager.  Why? Tott...

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 ...

The sad reason why Liverpool can't win the Caraboa Cup?

Liverpool are competing in five fronts this season {the World Club Cup, the Champions League, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Caraboa Cup} and every fan will be dreaming of seeing them win it all. But achieving that fate will be hard knowing that Jurgen Klopp's team is thin at the moment and lacks the fire power to push in all front. Apart from Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane there's nobody else in the team that can guarantee Liverpool 20 goals in all competition this season.  Divorck Origi though is an exception but the 25-year-old Belgium international is more of an impact substitute rather than a game change.  With that in mine would it be smart to risk Salah, Firmino and Mane- who is already suffering from a dead leg and knock- in the Caraboa?  Is the Caraboa Cup so important that Jurgen Klopp will be willing to risk the world best trio in a $2m worth cup.  If no, then there's no point prioritize the match knowing that Liv...

Manchester City stars reacts to Pep Guardiola returning to Bayern Munich

Vincent Kompany, Kevin De Bruyne and David Silva have all tagged reports linking Pep Guardiola to Bayern Munich as 'bulls**t'. Guardiola did manage Bayern Munich for three seasons and won 8 trophies before joining Manchester City back in 206. He left as a fulfilled man having joined Germany's biggest club, revolutionized their playing style and made them a force to reckon with.  Having achieved everything he wanted to at Bayern Munich, Guardiola took the next step in his managerial career by signing a contract with Manchester City.   His first season in the Premier League was difficult, City finished trophy-less but still managed to finish in the top four.  Surprisingly, he was nicknamed 'Fraudiola' by jealous fans who felt his style of play can never be implemented in the fast and furious Premier League.  But rather than run for cover, Guardiola was bold and courageous, he knew his style of play can be implemented in any league and still su...

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..
