Origi
Well, it wasn’t pretty but after making eight changes, giving players a go in different positions and blooding a few youngsters it wasn’t going to be, was it? It was an intriguing watch but not if you’re a fan of entertainment. It was once again up to Liverpool to be patient in possession and work […]
On a night when Leeds United and Garry Monk did their growing reputation no harm, Liverpool booked a spot in the semi-final with a 2-0 win. Divock Origi opened the scoring, poking in a stunning cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the story of the night is undoubtedly Ben Woodburn becoming the club’s youngest ever goalscorer, […]
From groans of displeasure to the Kop’s thunderous chorus. “Divock Origi” they chanted, moments after the 21-year old Belgian dashed towards the waiting Liverpool collective, all holding their hands out as if to embrace the man who’d finally undone the frustration. He slid; elegant and impassioned, majestic and manic, as Anfield lit up in celebration. […]
Liverpool overcame a battle of attrition and perseverance once again, the key difference being that Liverpool were rewarded for their efforts as the hosts came away with the three points and yet another clean-sheet. The celebration over the victory is sure to be tempered by the serious looking injury for Coutinho. This is how the […]
A draw away to Southampton isn’t the worst result but given how the events played out it’s disappointing to say the least. The Reds carved out some good chances but were wasteful throughout when in front of goal. The finishing clinic they put on against Watford just a fortnight ago eluded them against the Saints.

Liverpool kept knocking on the door, and loosening the locks but they just could not break down a very resolute Southampton side today. This is how the Reds fared. Loris Karius (6.5) – Spectator for the whole of the game. Came out once to make a punch. Released the ball at the earliest whenever he got […]
Top of the league, Klopp at the helm, and a rampant Liverpool team, faced with a set of upcoming fixtures, that on paper, look more than winnable. Yet Jürgen Klopp has stated clearly to cool any early title talk, and once again, he’s right. The ‘feel-good’ vibe around Anfield, and amongst the Liverpool FC fanbase, […]
Can you feel it? Around Liverpool FC, there is a deep swelling of anticipation and emotion. A brand new Main Stand, bringing Anfield definitively into the 21st century. A fresh, vibrant, exciting young team; with a wealth of unique attacking options. You speak to a passing football fan, and mention you support Liverpool. “Oh, I really […]
It was billed as Benteke v Liverpool; the striker’s first game against his former club after his ill-fated move to Anfield lasted just one season. As it transpired, he was nearly as peripheral here as he was for his former club, despite Palace scoring from crosses. Instead, this was a game that emphasised both sides […]
The win against Spurs means Liverpool are not only through to the next round of the EFL Cup, they’re also now undefeated in 10 matches in all competitions. It was a completely different Liverpool to the side that beat WBA on Saturday with Klopp making eleven changes. Not only were the personnel different but so too […]
