Liverpool FC End of Season Review 2018/19

Be warned ladies and gentle readers the following is my player by player and manager review of the season. I am a notoriously hard marker so expect some scathing conclusions;

Jurgen Klopp: Perfectly blended our squad into a team to fit his vision and very nearly had the perfect season if you ignore the bits that weren't perfect 10/10.

Roger Fabinho: Decent first season, took time to get used to the league and scored a goal 10/10.

Virgil van Dijk: The boss of our defence, his pass interception has become an iconic part of our play 10/10.

George Windjammer: Had a more impact full year than the previous season 10/10.

James Milner: Best Twitter game on the league 10/10.

Naby Keita: Very good box to box player, good penetration in the box, good defence in our box. Potentially useful in a post match boxing match 10/10.

Roberto Firmino: Very firm and changed his style of play this year, could do with losing a 'O' from his name 10/10.

Sadio Mane: Very good and scored lots of goals 10/10.

Mohamed Salah: Very good follow up to a season defining season which could only be improved by being a bit more like he was last season 10/10.

Joe Gomez: Always good to have a player with a 'Z' in his name for OCD reasons 10/10.

Alisson: A beast between the sticks - our best keeper since Ray Clemence 10/10.

Jordan Henderson: Part of a much improved middle three 10/10.

Daniel Sturridge: Sorry to see him go and he leaves us in a better position than where he found us 10/10.

Alberto Moreno: Rarely played and is now leaving 11/10.

Adam Lallana: An injury ravaged season but had a good advert game 10/10.

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Very good season, kept the club doctor and physio team in good humour with good stand up material 10/10.

Simon Mingolet Have 10/10 and lets quietly pass this player by.


Xherdan Shaqiri: A good impact sub 10/10.

Rhian Brewster: One for the future but have a word with the parents as that isn't how you spell Ryan 10/10.

Andrew Robertson: Best fullback in the league 10/10

Divock Origi: Plays football and sounds like a Doctor Who monster from the Tom Baker years 10/10.

Joel Matip: Underrated 10/10.

Nathan Phillips: Gets on the list instead of Dejan Lovren due to an admin error 10/10.

Curtis Jones: Didn't he sing for Motown 10/10.

Ben Woodburn: The future of Wales 20/10.

Caoimhi Kelleher: Buy a cons tenant 10/10.

Rafael Comacho: Keep up the good work 10/10.

Trent Alexander Arnold Reginald Smyth III: Made the position his own and first name on the team sheet due to it having to be written 48 hours before the match due to his long name 10/10.
