Liverpool FC Match Reports

Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player of the Match   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...

Liverpool 2 - 5 Real Madrid - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 4.0 This game had all the makings of becoming the battle of two world class keepers. Despite a couple of good first half moments, Ali was unable to reach his usual levels on greatness within a very strange game. Some uncharacteristic mistakes can...

It is amazing what a week in Premier League football can do for a disheartened fanbase. The issues are still apparent, the changes are still required, and a raft of new players are a must in the summer transfer window. What has improved, however, is the tone of the messages within my WhatsApp groups,...

It’s quite staggering that in a season where Liverpool have been largely woeful that they still have a chance to finish in the top four. The gap to Newcastle is now reduced to just six points and with a game in hand. There were plenty of ups and downs in a game that we...

Newcastle 0 - 2 Liverpool - Man of the Match   Alisson Becker   It is frustrating to have to award the man of the match to our keeper so often, but it is a pure indication of how utterly world class he is.   His decision making, rapid movement from his line, smothering of attackers, and clean handling are...

Newcastle 0 - 2 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 9.0 The monstrous keeper made some vital first half saves, one which was a brilliant one on one stop to keep the scores level. So quick off his line and really papered over some cracks within the reds shield. Was not overly busy in...

I wrote last week how the issues engulfing Manchester City (right now), could have a positive effect on the Reds' mentality. With Pep Guardiola having had a series of press conference meltdowns, it would have surely changed the dynamic and conversation within the AXA training ground to see their rivals being charged (with over...

Ahhh ... I love the smell of a derby victory in the morning! Probably like most Reds who’ve been sampling every bit of content they can, Liverpool aren’t fully back but you can relive the key movements from the match again without your eyes closed. The scoreline didn’t flatter them and whilst there will...
