THE DETAILS Match:Â Watford vs Liverpool Venue: Vicarage Road Referee: Craig Pawson Date: Monday 1st May Time: 20:00 BST FORM It turned […]
Sometimes, you can’t help but wonder if Liverpool actually enjoy doing things the hard way. Sunday’s insipid 2-1 defeat at home to Crystal Palace was one of the poorest showings of the season, at a time when such a flat display was inexcusable. Jurgen Klopp had a bad day at the office, making his substitutions […]
Two gritty wins away to Stoke and West Brom marked two giant leaps forward for Liverpool in their bid for Champions League football. Keeping out two teams that are renowned for being prolific from set-pieces, it seemed a major corner had been turned. However, it was old habits that died hard at Anfield on Sunday […]
It was a case of two steps forward and one step back for Liverpool, who’s Champions League hopes took an almighty blow as Christian Benteke came back to haunt his old club. After a lacklustre opening to the game, Philippe Coutinho put the hosts in front with a stunning long-range free kick to seal his […]
No type of win betters Liverpool’s deserved 1-0 win over West Brom on Sunday. Hammering sides often can be very entertaining for the impartial – but there is nothing more satisfying than the wins where it requires a dogged mentality, determination and grit. The Reds coped through adversity in a nerve-wracking finale; which just goes […]
Simon Mignolet found himself taking the plaudits for the second week running as Liverpool ground out a 1-0 win over West Brom, in which Mignolet made a tremendous save with ten minutes to go to keep Liverpool in front. This comes directly off the back of a match-winning performance last weekend, in which Mignolet denied […]
Stoke and West Brom were always going to be two tough games. With both sides renowned for their defensive attributes, coupled with Liverpool’s inability to create space against teams who sit deep, Premier League rivals would have been licking their lips at the possibility of Klopp’s side stumbling at the final hurdle. They’ll have been left […]
The end is near, isn’t it? Liverpool were barely troubled by any West Bromwich Albion set-piece. Liverpool scored off a set-piece against West Brom. But, the bigger picture is crucial. It was another massive win for the Reds in the race for the top four, as they eked out a 1-0 victory. This was the […]
Disciplined, dogged and gritty. Those are probably the best three words to describe Liverpool’s performance against West Brom. It was by no means the eye-catching, fluid football we’ve come to expect from Jurgen Klopp’s side, but a moment of quality from Roberto Firmino was enough to seal another three points and bring The Reds a […]
After this past weekend’s win over Stoke, I was a guest on the post-match Nina Kauser Show here on Anfield Index and was asked if it was Liverpool ‘winning ugly’. Although it was certainly an ugly win, I did say that I felt when I think of ‘winning ugly’, I think of teams such as […]
