Firmino
This is a bold, hyperbolic statement, but one I believe is becoming truer by the week: No team has ever had to work harder to win games than this Liverpool side. Tuesday’s 1-1 draw away to Spartak Moscow was the perfect example of this, with the Reds once again outplaying an opponent but walking away […]

There was a moment in the final stages of Liverpool’s 1-1 draw at Spartak Moscow when you could virtually feel Reds supporters all over the world lose their heads in unison. Roberto Firmino, off the pace all night, was picked out by a lovely Alberto Moreno pass, and needed to just play a simply pass […]
How did Liverpool not win that? Nobody will know. A tennis score would not have been an unjust reflection of play in Moscow, but in the end, Liverpool and Spartak Moscow had to share the points as the Reds failed to make their superiority count. Philippe Coutinho cancelled out Fernando’s free-kick that gave Spartak the […]

From Russia with a point, return Jürgen’s Reds. Not great for Liverpool, but routine wins against Maribor and we’ll be laughing with 8 from 4. Speaking of 8s and 4s, how did the players get on? Starting Eleven Loris Karius (5): Got sympathy for him with the first goal because it’s powerful etc. But, he […]
A win! A Liverpool win! Three goals beats two goals and the travelling Reds went home happy. The weekend is saved. It wasn’t pleasant. Jurgen’s lads coasted to a two goal cushion and were slowly beginning to realise that Leicester were not quite the reincarnation of the Dirty Dozen they’d previously thought them to be, […]

Liverpool attained a semblance of revenge for the mid-week loss in the cup game against Leicester as the Reds prevailed by an odd goal in five. The important takeaways from tonight. Liverpool buck the win-less trend Liverpool headed into this game on the back of a 4 game winless streak (if such things can be […]
A win! A win! We’ll take that, won’t we? A first three points for the Reds in what seems like forever, as we dispatched Jamie Vardy and his band of merry men. 3-2! Simon Mignolet (6):Â An interesting performance for Migs. Some good saves, but he’ll be annoyed that he pushes the ball to Mahrez from […]
