Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa: Player ratings as Reds lift their game to secure three points
Liverpool's hopes of ending the season with a 100% Premier League record at Anfield are still alive after they sparked themselves into life against Aston Villa.
It was a lethargic, disjointed display for over an hour, but the slickest move of the match brought a breakthrough for Sadio Mane before Curtis Jones' first league goal confirmed defeat for Villa.
Here's how the Reds rated:
Alisson - 8
As ever, Alisson made a number of hazardous efforts that came his way …
Liverpool Bounce Back With Unconvincing Win
Liverpool continued their 100% winning streak in the Premier League this season with a hard fought 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield.
Goals from Sadio Mane and Curtis Jones gave the Reds a perhaps flattering win after a stodgy performance against their relegation-threatened visitors.
After their drubbing at Manchester City, there was an expectation of a backlash but the Reds’ performance was the antithesis of that.
Slow, plodding — littered with poor touches and worse passes — and playing …
Appreciating the brilliance of game-changing Alisson
The last 20 minutes of last year's Champions League final are easy to forget, barring Divock Origi's trophy-clinching goal in the dying embers.
It was a match to fall asleep to for the neutral, with little happening for vast chunks of proceedings, as Liverpool showed their experience and outmaneuvered an ineffective Tottenham side.
In hindsight, however, the Reds were given a few scares as the minutes ticked by at the Wanda Metropolitano, as they lay agonisingly close to European Cup …
Henderson and Point Scoring
Social media can be a strange place. In the wake of Liverpool being crowned champions, some fans have used this as a point-scoring opportunity. They’re trawling back through the years to find tweets calling for FSG to sell up. They’ve found plenty of tweets criticising players as well. There are probably even some who have said a bad word or two against Jurgen Klopp. However, the popular topic for this seems to be Jordan Henderson.
The Liverpool skipper has always …

Key stats as hungover Liverpool routed by Man City
Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning hangover kicked off as they were resoundingly beaten 4-0 by a dominant Manchester City side at the Etihad Stadium. What are the key stats from the first game since the Reds lifted their first title in 30 years?
Pep’s Revenge
This was Liverpool’s heaviest Premier League defeat in almost three years – since their 5-0 defeat to City on 9th September 2017. Whilst the Reds have suffered that five goal hammering, and a number of three …
Timeless Melody
Liverpool and the music scene are inextricably linked.
Music and football too are the closest of bedfellows. Liverpool F.C. is synonymous with song and musical theatre through the medium of Gerry
Marsden's anthem; the famous rolling strains of the song from Carousel and those iconic words of love and support, You'll Never Walk Alone.
It is far more than a football song. More a mantra for decent morals and people addicted to love and loving people, sometimes it can make …
Manchester City 4-0 Liverpool: Observations from a night to forget
For Liverpool, Thursday's trip to the Etihad peaked before it had even begun. The side who had come out on top last season in the most agonising circumstances were reduced to rolling out the red carpet for the most dominant champions in Premier League history as they took to the field.
The final score was the consequence of defensive sloppiness and charitable finishing against City writ large. Psychologically, you could say Pep Guardiola's men have laid down a marker. Liverpool …

Liverpool's Relegated Player Transfer Roulette
Liverpool have already felt the brunt of the financial pinch caused by the ongoing pandemic.
Long linked with Timo Werner, the Reds -- who were either unwilling or unable to match the financial package on offer in West London -- were beaten to the signing of the German international by Chelsea.
The prevailing sense, as suggested by all of the journalists close to the club, is that reigning European, World, and English champions will be relatively quiet in the upcoming …
