A win is a win and three points to kickstart the reds Premier League campaign could prove vital. Though our red men dragged their second half feet in getting there, all that mattered was victory, and that is what we achieved.
On a day when a surprising move for Cody Gakpo is deal close to...
Aston Villa 1 - 3 Liverpool - PL Man of The Match

Virgil van Dijk

This could have gone to Trent for his brilliant first half ball playing, Fabinho for his steady shielding throughout, Mo for his goal, assist, and attempts at getting Darwin in, but for me it was Virgil’s presence and leadership that shone...
Aston Villa 1 - 3 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
The big man is back and had to be alert to some chances in the first half, but became more of a spectator the longer the half went. Got little help from his defence for their goal and was a...
It was a topsy turvy game that in all honesty should have been away from us by half time. In the end, the result was a fair one that allowed the stronger team to move into the next round. Liverpool have given up one of the trophies they garnered last season, but it is...
That’s why we missed club football! An end-to-end slugfest with goal mouth action, chances squandered and some real needle between the two teams. Aside form the World Cup Final, how many games could you genuinely say that about in the competition? This was the Carabao Cup and secretly there’s a part of Jurgen Klopp...

Thiago Alcantara

The first half became about damage limitation and getting...

Starting XI
Caoimhin Kelleher - 7.0
The cup keeper was a certain starter for this game, but he was given so little protection in the opening half and could do nothing for the first goal. Made some smart stops after that to keep the reds alive...
In a game where Liverpool actually had slightly less possession, it was a clear case of managing the match accordingly. The Reds rarely had to stretch themselves, and short of the odd and inevitable moment, they cruised to a comfortable 0-2 victory.
Brighton are in a slump, not a free fall slump, but a worrying...
Liverpool 0 - 1 Inter Milan - Match Report
The first half was a game of frustration for both sides, with neither giving much away through the opening period. Both Joel Matip and Virgil Van Dijk could have scored from tremendous Trent deliveries, and Alisson was alert enough to parry away a good cross come...
Liverpool 1 - 0 West Ham - Match Report
In a game where West Ham were so impressive, Liverpool needed moments of great defensive play in order to secure the three points. Michail Antonio was a constant threat, with his powerful display really disrupting the reds centre backs. West Ham were able to defend more...
