Coming into their ninth game in twenty-nine days, the last thing that Liverpool would have wanted from this FA Cup fourth round fixture was a replay. But that is exactly what they got, after a goalless draw against West Ham United at Anfield.
Here are a few points I picked up from watching the Reds...
"Man City or Everton, it doesn't matter. We'll win the Cup."
- Jurgen Klopp
Our manager is fanning the flames. He's bringing back a trophy in his debut season.
It wasn't particularly pretty and it won't be remembered as a spectacle but Liverpool once again dug deep to take something away from a disappointing performance. It's been...
Liverpool's three game run without a win was finally halted as Christian Benteke's goal gave the Reds a 1-0 win over the league leaders Leicester City.
In truth, the scoreline could have been much more overwhelming in our favour, but our profligacy in front of goal meant that there were a few nails being bitten...
It was a day that started with talk of Sergio Aguero’s return and of Raheem Sterling’s first encounter with Liverpool since his much protracted summer move.
It ended with Kolo Toure enjoying a three-minute cameo as a central-midfielder / right-winger hybrid with the Reds 4-1 up. What a time to be alive indeed.
Mate, Kolo is...
Ah the “Friendly Derby”, one of the great derbies in English football. This is a spectacle that divides households, particularly for fans in Merseyside, who happen to follow one or the other side. This match however somewhat failed lived up to that hype. Anger, passion, goals, top class saves and Mama Sakho all added...
Coming into this game, Brendan Rodgers instilled yet another new formation. Using all but one of the team who faced Norwich, he utilised a 3412 tactic, to the surprise of not many people. This of course added to Rodgers’ constant idea of “transition” which is as equally frustrating as it is futile. Nevertheless, the...
Liverpool came out on the right side of a five goal thriller to take home all three points. For a change, one could say that the performance justified the result as Liverpool scored more than one goal for the first time this season. The game had some good signs, but there is still huge...
Whilst watching this game against Norwich, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of sadness and sickness as the last number of times we played Norwich, Luis Suarez ran the show. Reminiscence of a greater, more fun Liverpool did not make for a pretty Sunday afternoon, as I laid back and watched highlights...
It's 19:23 as the Virgin Super Voyager speeds towards Chester. Should I be on this train? Quite frankly no, I had reserved seats on the 21:20 from Euston (sorry Virgin).
How did I get here? Well it all started on Saturday morning with a 4:15am alarm, a quick open of my birthday presents/cards and a 5:50 train to Crewe. After getting on the Virgin Pendolino...
The win at Anfield was as far away as you could have got from the disappointment at Upton Park in the reverse fixture in September.
Liverpool dominated and took their chances, while West Ham struggled to impose their own unique brand of physicality on the game and create openings.
In September, Liverpool were effectively bulldozed by...
