It was a double header on the Under Pressure show this week, and although they touched on the incredibly impressive performance last week against Leeds (eight big chances and six goals) the main focus was on the first trophy of the season: Liverpool are League Cup champions. First up was the key pressing story from […]
Three days after conquering bitter rivals Chelsea in the League Cup Final, the Reds returned home from the capital for another domestic cup tie. After experiencing the exhilarating high of winning a trophy in incredibly tense circumstances, it would have understandable for a normal team to lose focus in a midweek match against a relegation-quality […]
Liverpool, after such an eventful campaign during the tournament – especially when they were two goals down to Leicester at Anfield – didn’t expect all of that drama to be eclipsed in the final against Chelsea. Remarkably, despite the scoreline, you will struggle to see a match with more twists and turns! At one point, […]
The dust has now settled on Liverpool’s triumphant League Cup final, and other competitions now come to the fore. With a pretty much full strength line up employed for the Chelsea match, there is an FA Cup game against Norwich on Wednesday to contend with. West Ham are welcomed to Anfield on Saturday, with both […]
The transfer of one Luis Diaz to Liverpool, happened almost as quickly as Kaiser Soze disappeared. Tottenham were in talks, apparently West Ham had interest, and even Manchester United were keeping tabs, and just like that, he was here. With only a month gone since the window closed, it’s a magnificent first chapter in the […]

Every Liverpool player scored in the shootout, including Caoimhin Kelleher. But what were the key stats as the mighty Reds laid claim […]
We all need to catch our breaths after that Carabao Cup final. After an absolutely amazing 120 minutes ended 0-0, Kepa Arrizabalaga blazed the 22nd penalty of an incredible shootout over the bar, to give Jurgen Klopp his first domestic cup as manager of Liverpool. It was an even game throughout with both goalkeepers excelling […]
Joe Gomez made his first start in the Premier League for 468 days in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Norwich City. He was used as a right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold being given a rare day off. Some thought he did well, others really did not like him in the full-back role. I think how you viewed […]
Is it the greatest rivalry in the history of English football? Jurgen Klopp versus Pep Guardiola, Liverpool versus Manchester City. Records are constantly being broken: the first and only team to achieve 100 points in a league season (Man City – 2017/18); the biggest lead ever in English football at the top of the table […]
