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...

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...

Alisson Becker - 9.0
Had such little work to do, with the reds ramping up as the game progressed. Was smart in possession and dealt with the couple of half chances that came his way. I’m rating him high, as it’s that kind of result.
Trent Alexander...
In a turnaround of recent events, the reds continued to pick up vital Premier League points, after their bore draw with Palace, and humbling by Real Madrid. The return to form saw a controlled performance built upon desire and efficiency, with a 2-0 loss possibly flattering the visiting side.
At centre back, we saw the...
Yesterday I ordered a new thermos to take with me when I am out and about, to add to the three or four vessels of insulated coffee that accompany me on my varying journeys. At some point during the second half, I started checking the different foods and soups I could place within my...
A hangover, Real Madrid still playing on their minds etc etc. Whichever way you dress it up or whatever excuses could be made, this was a terrible game of football. Crystal Palace’s own struggles aside, it’s hard to believe this was a team who are supposed to be chasing champions league football and as...

Alisson Becker - 6.0
The chance to redeem himself, after a tough Champions League week. He was solid enough, especially as his side seemed poised to gift the home side a big chance through the first half. Was largely a second half spectator, in a very...

Virgil van Dijk

A very unspectacular game from the giant Dutchman, yet his role was more about offering coverage and control, as the surrounding cast struggled to carry out their duties.

Was vocal and largely untroubled, as Palace looked to target Matip & Trent. He...
To see the once mighty Reds score two goals at Anfield (under those famous lights), whilst still falling so dramatically to the feet of Real Madrid is as disastrous as it gets. The way in which Liverpool surrendered their lead was painful to watch, though as the 4th and 5th away goals went in,...
A schooling, a hammering and absolute annihilation. Three comments I saw on social media afterwards, which are all completely true. What started to look like being another dream night at Anfield quickly disintegrated into an absolute nightmare for Liverpool as they were well beaten by an outstanding Real Madrid side. Even the most optimistic...
