Sleepy Seagull Saturday keeps Liverpool on title path
A sleepy Saturday saw Liverpool cruise to another win and our 57th point of the season; 1 short of our full season totals in 04/05 and 10/11, already having surpassed the 98/99 and 11/12 totals. The fact that we’re climbing the list of Liverpool’s top Premier League point totals in the middle of January is quite something. Now it’s up to Spurs against United on Sunday and City against Wolves to keep up the pace.
The match was one that …

Operation CupOut Complete: Wolves 2-1 Liverpool
Ah, the magic of the FA Cup...
Is there another competition in the world that would allow Liverpool supporters a moment to sit back and appreciate their front-line starters more than this? How about that squad depth am I right?
You could tell Jurgen Klopp was really feeling the magic. He revered the cup so much that he put out a side consisting of teenagers and Brodge retreads barely hanging on to their squad numbers. The Reds were leaning on …

Nuno Espirito Santo's side have shown some real inconsistency in recent months. Wolves currently sit 9th in the Premier League table though so they would have to be very happy with that upon their return to English football's top division. They had a fantastic 3-1 win at Spur in their final game of …
Observations as Liverpool lose their cloak of invincibility at the Etihad
Well... That was a bit shit, wasn't it? Many of us went into the game praying that Liverpool don't lose tonight, and for large parts of the game, it seemed as though the players heard the prayers as Liverpool were largely in their shell. Liverpool needed an Aguero goal at the Etihad (for the zillionth time) to wake up from their slumber. Liverpool equalised with an exquisite move but lost out to a great goal from Sane.
The key observations …

You always felt that that might be the moment the game was lost. Football is one of fine margins, and the margins in this game were even finer than that. Possession was equal, Man City had 9 shots to Liverpool’s …
Manchester City 2-1 Liverpool: What went wrong?
Liverpool have been beaten for the first time in the Premier League this season. It was closely-fought, but Manchester City, the ultimate in title rivals, were deserved winners.
The Reds were punished for their first real defensive lapse late in the first half when Sergio Aguero lathered it past Alisson but managed to snatch an equaliser after raising their level just after the hour mark.
Supporters may have dreamed of a glorious three points at that stage, but it was …
Reds stutter as superb City end the unbeaten run
That Brexit midfield. That Dejan Lovren. Why? Just why?
Liverpool finished second-best in all departments as they lost 2-1 to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium, and saw their lead at the top of the Premier League cut to four points, with seventeen games left to play. Leroy Sane scored the winner for City after Sergio Aguero's superb opener was cancelled out by Roberto Firmino.
Liverpool can have no complaints, and from the off, City looked like the side with more …
