Real Madrid 1 - 0 Liverpool - CL Player Ratings (6-2 agg)
Alisson Becker - 9.0
A simply emphatic first half display, with number of world class stops that kept the reds in the tie. The second half saw him continue to show his world class credentials, with one marvellous one on one stope from Valverde. He could nothing for the opening goal, which ended a tie he had just about kept them in.
Trent Alexander Arnold – 5.0
An okay first half that was often leaving himself open against Vini, yet …
Dr Phil Diagnosis: Bournemouth
After a dismal day on the south coast where the top four became a major ask, Dave Davis walks through the Bournemouth game with Dr Phil Barter from the Under Pressure Pod to find a snippet of what the data told us and look where it went so wrong. We looked at the impact (or not) of the front three and how we simply failed to get Mo and Trent involved in the right areas. Bournemouth made a smart adjustment …
Bournemouth 1 - 0 Liverpool - The Post-Mortem
What an unbelievable crash back down to earth, after the historic 7-0 win against Manchester United, last Sunday. After taking apart one of the nation’s best sides, it was always a concern as to which Liverpool team (psychologically) would turn up this past weekend. A lunch time kick off, away to a side that was holding up the entire Premier League table…?
What could go wrong…
This was maybe the 5th or 6th lowest point of the season, with 7th …
Away Form: Mentality is Monstrous
Trent Alexander-Arnold didn’t sugarcoat it in anyway when asked afterwards about Liverpool’s abject performance against Bournemouth. “Every team in the league is fighting for something so it means a lot to get the three points and I think looking back on it now, they probably wanted it more than us and that is something that is unacceptable and we need to make sure this kind of thing doesn’t happen again.” Unacceptable is a fair description for the majority of away …
Lessons Learned: Bournemouth
Ahhhh the famous false dawn ... we wondered where you’d got too. Football can change so quickly and after last weekend's unbridled joy, Saturdays early kick-off at the Vitality provided ultimate sorrow. Liverpool lost to bottom of the table Bournemouth 1-0 and truth be told they could have played for another 90 minutes and not have scored. Jurgen Klopp afterwards was honest enough to admit that Bournemouth deserved their victory and again you had to feel for the travelling Kop. …

Alisson Becker - 6.0
A steady first half, which saw him repel an advancing counter attack wide, before being let down for the opening goal. Was a relative bystander for much of the second half, as the reds looked to get back into the game.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 3.0
A poor first half full of indecision, suspect defensive work, and a lack of positional intelligence. Did little in the second …
Liverpool 7 - 0 Manchester United - The Post-Mortem
In the build up to this historic fixture, I stated how it may look if the Reds were to come within seven points of their fiercest rivals. Given that the Old Trafford outfit were enjoying their best season in years (whilst Liverpool are suffering their worst), it does paint a rather amusing picture for the Liverpool fanbase. In Sunday afternoon's Anfield encounter, Erik ten Hag’s side were taken apart, with a score line that became quite staggering. The second half …
Lessons Learned in the Demolishing of Manchester United
What a time to be alive. No-one, whatever they actually claim could have predicted what was to come on a Sunday afternoon that left us with sore heads on a Monday morning. It’s great to be able to say it - Liverpool embarrassed, humiliated and annihilated Manchester United. Seven-Nil still sounds incredible to be able to say out loud and even more amazing when you think we’d only scored one when the referee blew for half-time. We look at the …

Mohamed Salah
This adaptation of our style is ever increasing the level of our elite assets, with our Egyptian King looking back to his deadliest best. 22 goals in an off season isn’t bad at the start of March, and you feel that he may now look make the Premier League pay for the disrespect.
His ability to drift inside at the right moments is in perfect tandem …
