It is time. I'm going to try the Substack paywall thing. Here's why: open.substack.com/pub/andrewbeas… Come and join me.

The Quansah Question, by @BassTunedToRed open.substack.com/pub/andrewbeas…

Over the last 35 years we've gone from telling young people that education is the greatest way to enfranchise oneself, to telling them that they shouldn't bother trying to learn and better themselves. A society that tells people "Be born lucky or don't try at all", is not well.

Who is Liverpool's Prince of Sprints?, by @BassTunedToRed open.substack.com/pub/andrewbeas…

Margaret Aspinall: Why I’m not afraid to tell Starmer how it is, and who we really should be praising on International Women’s Day #HillsboroughLawNow independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-n…

Firmino vs Watford 2017 Salah vs Brighton 2020 Salah vs Atalanta 2020 Firmino vs Watford(!) 2021 Salah vs Spart Prague 2024 Salah vs Atletico Madrid 2025 Robertson vs Wolves tonight. Players with a goal and an assist within two minutes for Liverpool. Up the Reds.

It was a press conference yesterday that raised new questions from a lot of the answers. All eyes will be on Molineux to see if any changes in personnel or tactics can inspire an improvement. Catch the full press conference review here: 👇🏾 youtu.be/Pyj0pXJuCBY

"The Reds didn’t get close to 120km in any game either. Sorry, Jürgen." Can we learn anything about a team or a player from how much distance they cover? I've tried to answer that in my Friday newsletter: andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/covering-dis… #LFC

Liverpool have started 21 games with Ekitike and Wirtz in their team this season: W13 D4 L4. 62% won. They have had 21 games without one or both: W10 D3 L8. 48% won.

@LFCCans I find it impossible to separate Jota's death from everything else. The impact can't be known. While it's been a bad season, the underlying open play numbers are pretty good. I think they'll stick with Slot but wouldn't be surprised (or devastated) if not.

@BassTunedToRed How are you analyzing this season if I can ask? Do you think a change is needed or are we feeling the effects of a lot of “weird” things happening to us… when it rains it pours sort of thing

12.4% of Premier League goals have been scored by one-goal men this season. 25.6% of the 39 Liverpool have conceded fit this bill. Weird, isn't it? It's just one of many oddities in the Reds' 2025/26 season. I've compiled them here: andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/the-madness-… #LFC

@LFCCans Don't worry about that, always happy to correct a mistake.

@BassTunedToRed I felt stingy typing it but love your articles!

@LFCCans I must still be in shock at those results! Thanks mate, I'll sort it.

@BassTunedToRed Great article Andrew although some of the scores have us winning games we lost! (Palace and Bournemouth)

"We can expect an entertaining match, whichever team finishes on the right side of it." A tale of two United's tonight... here's my @paddypower preview of Newcastle vs Manchester news.paddypower.com/football/premi…

Football often tells coaches that you're only as good as your last game, and Arne Slot is certainly finding that out this season. Another good run was ended by a bad defeat last night, and this one came at the worst possible time. #LFC m0stewart.substack.com/p/a-bad-time-t…

"Ngumoha sits 12th for minutes played for Liverpool before turning 18. He should pass Steven Gerrard by the end of this week..." Liverpool need to be careful with Rio Ngumoha but how much more often should he play? My latest newsletter tries to find out andrewbeasleyfootball.com/p/protecting-r…

"Marmoush is high in the predicted goal standings, with 0.58. He has 0.16 assists in the prediction table, with his combined 0.74 only behind Ekitiké (0.92) and Salah (0.84) among likely starters..." Here are my @OptaAnalyst FPL picks for week 29 theanalyst.com/articles/fpl-p…

Working on a newsletter about how much football Rio Ngumoha has played for Liverpool. Should they use him more or should they be careful? Michael Owen played rather more than him before he turned 18... Out tomorrow. Subscribe here: andrewbeasleyfootball.com/subscribe

There's a new Athletic article about Virgil van Dijk's availabilty in the last three seasons. There are few outfield players who've accumulated more league mins across their age 32-34 seasons in Europe's big 5 leagues, especially in the last 20 years. Van Dijk could finish 2nd.
