Return to Brighton: The Scene of the Crime
As the old saying goes ‘the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime’. It would be hard to describe Liverpool’s last visit to the AMEX Stadium as anything other than that, in what turned out to be a dismal 3-0 defeat earlier this month. The Reds now have a chance to exercise those demons in the fourth round of the FA Cup this weekend, but travelling fans may well be making the journey in hope rather than expectation. …
Brighton v Liverpool - The FA Cup 4th Round Preview
After the Reds' 3-0 loss away to Brighton two weeks ago, it’s fair to say that this FA Cup match up could be viewed in a couple of different ways. On one hand, it’s a chance for Liverpool to exorcise some of the demons created. On the more realistic hand, it’s perhaps another game where a far more structured team will be able to exploit Liverpool’s ever present deficiencies.

Liverpool v Chelsea - The Premier League Preview
Amazingly, both sides come into this game on the back of a win. With each club experiencing a very poor season thus far, they seem intent on fighting for mid-table supremacy rather than the normal Champions League places. With a lunch time kick off this Saturday, there is probably going to be a rough weekend ahead for one set of fans, though it’s tough to assume who will come out on top.

Wolves v Liverpool - The FA Cup Replay Preview
After yet another disappointing Premier League fixture, Liverpool once again head into a game with an urgent need to improve their form. With the painful 0-3 loss to Brighton still fresh in our memories, it really does seem likely that a disappointing result will unfold, as they travel to the Molineux Stadium for their FA Cup replay. Last week saw the first tie end in a 1-1 drawn, so this is a game that really could add salt the reds …
Brighton v Liverpool - The Premier League Preview
After the Reds 2-2 home draw with Wolves in the FA Cup, it means they now face a replay at the Molineux Stadium next Tuesday evening. That game will be quickly followed by a visit from Chelsea, in what could prove a defining encounter in the race for top four. Before all that potential heartbreak presents itself, Jurgen Klopp must take his side to the south coast, where the mightily impressive Brighton await this coming Saturday.

Liverpool v Wolves - The FA Cup Preview
With the festive period of the Premier League now complete, the Reds can at least avert their attentions to a less pressure inducing competition. As the reigning and defending champions of the FA Cup, one may feel that this Liverpool side will do all in their power to retain their piece of silverware. Given the situation on Merseyside and the fight it will take to finish in that exclusive top four group, this may be the best chance of a …
Lessons Learned: Brentford
Where to even start with this one. A hard watch for all Reds against Brentford, as Liverpool were outfought, outrun and came away with what they deserved from the Gtech Community stadium. The outcry on social media was vast and no-one escaped, all the way from the manager to the owners. Liverpool’s season appears to be on the precipice right now and after a few good recent results, the performance wasn’t unexpected. We try and salvage some lessons learned from …
Brentford v Liverpool - The PL Preview
With two victories and one game to go, the Christmas and New Year’s Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a decent Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp followed that up with a home win against Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City. Though that 2-1 victory came with some very poor performances, hopefully some changes can be made to ensure a slightly smoother encounter this Monday evening.
Brentford’s last game saw them successfully overcome West …
Liverpool v Leicester - The Premier League Preview
With one game won and two to go, the Christmas Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a successful Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp will now be hoping to heap further misery on former Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, as Friday will see his Leicester side travel to Anfield for a game under those famous lights.

Aston Villa v Liverpool - The Premier League Preview
Liverpool are now back in match action and will be looking for a far better performance than the one we witnessed during the 3-2 loss to Manchester City in midweek. That Carabao Cup tie was wholly insignificant, with Jurgen Klopp’s ambitions solely focused on a top four finish and a prosperous Champions League run, but a loss is always a tough moment for any squad.
This coming Boxing Day will represent the second consecutive day of mass cooking for me, …
