With a couple of days to reflect and take a sensible view on Liverpool’s last outing, it was still something close to dreadful. We have had too many abject performances so far this term, with resulting theories and opinions thrown about by the fan base like confetti. The conspiracies surrounding Pep Lijnders and his...
Brentford 3 - 1 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 6.0
Made a super one on save in the early stages, only to see an own goal slip past him with the resulting corner. So unlucky with the second goal, with his team continuing to let him down. Was let down again for...
It’s wasn’t very pretty eh? But at this time of the year, the classic statement prevails: three points is three points. There was plenty to analyse in Liverpool’s 2-1 win over Leicester City and not all of it was good. Pass marks for some, performance lacking for others and the likes of Fabinho (congratulations...
Liverpool 2 - 1 Leicester - PL Post-Mortem
With maximum points garnered from the reds two last games, the Premier League restart has at least brought that positive with it. In essence, all Liverpool fans would have taken that outcome by any means possible, but the underlying fact is that this team is scrambling to...

Trent Alexander Arnold
This was an all around impressive outing for Trent, with his ability to create the opening reds goal easily matched by his defensive awareness and composure. Whenever he was caught one on one, he was full of concentration and desire to...

Alisson Becker - 6.0
The worlds greatest keeper, it’s a joy to have him back. Could do little for the opening goal and had to react well after that. Was a little too busy through the second half, without really having to over extend himself.

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...

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...

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...
