Virgil van Dijk insists Mohamed Salah is playing well despite recent lack of goals
Liverpool's brilliant centre-half Virgil van Dijk was giving his public backing to Mohamed Salah after the Egyptian King failed to score in his seventh successive game at the weekend.

HAPPY PADDY’S DAY TROOPS. UP THE REDS.
Alisson (6): I don’t know. Who do you blame? Liverpool won though soooo... arsed?
Trent Arnold (6): His crossing is either the best in the league or the worst in the league and I’m completely on board with that until he’s 25. Can’t be dropped for the remaining league games.

Triumph of the Understudies at Liverpool
It was only a few days ago that Liverpool fans bore witness to another one of Jürgen Klopp’s most repeated sentiments – “I don’t need to spend anything, I’ve got all that I need.”
“I don’t want to talk exactly what we will do, but I don't think this is a team at the moment where we have to spend the big money or whatever. "The best way to do it is bring together a group of players, try …

Fear in the Presence of Success
Like it or not, fear, in many forms, has been riddled throughout the supporter ranks since January. Looking at a Premier League title and a Champions League trophy hanging in the balance of the next two months, understandably so. What's needed instead, however, is an emotion that seems to be lacking in most corners of the internet at the moment.

Big Time Liverpool Continue To Defy The Doubters
Liverpool continued their resurgence towards the top of Europe’s elite with an incredible 3-1 win at the Allianz Arena over a Bayern Munich side that were never allowed to get going. And what for me, is potentially interesting about the victory is how low-key some of the celebration and conversation is at the moment – especially compared to say Manchester United vs PSG.
