Liverpool had a comfortable afternoon for most parts of the game against Watford, as they dominated both the possession and scoring to walk away with the three points. Watford created a couple of opportunities but Simon Mignolet was firm enough to deny them.
Here are my ratings for each Red.
Simon Mignolet (7) -Â Simon Mignolet was...
Liverpool players tried passing the ball for the full ninety minutes but were not very successful at it resulting in another loss, this time at the Liberty Stadium on a rain-soaked Sunday afternoon. Benteke's goal was the only consolation in one of the most abject performances this season. Tough to hit a level below...
There cannot be too many better feelings than the one after Liverpool have just beaten Everton. Tonight, it was not just a win. It was a sound thrashing of an abject opposition as the Reds were rampant in taking home the bragging rights from the derby and some more.
Here is how I thought each...
Liverpool put out a vastly changed side after the heroics from midweek against Dortmund, with only Firmino starting from the team that started in midweek. Liverpool put in a competent away performance to come away with the three points to cap off an excellent week for the Reds.
Lets see how the Reds fared.

Sandwiched in between two legs of the Europa League quarterfinal against Borussia Dortmund, Stoke City's visit to Anfield could have provided multiple headaches for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. Instead, it was a dominant display from the Reds, as they turned on the style in a 4-1 defeat of the Potters.
Apart from getting the win,...
Liverpool put in a great defensive effort against Dortmund to share the spoils and keep the tie alive. The Reds definitely had the better share of clear cut chances which bodes well for the return leg.
This is how they fared.
Simon Mignolet (7) - A solid night for the Liverpool keeper as he was at...
A slow, error filled first-half was followed by an entertaining second-half as both teams fought hard and ultimately walked away with the share of the spoils.
Let's see how the Reds fared tonight..
Simon Mignolet (6.5) - A relatively safe first-half for Mignolet, but for the usual indecisiveness which put the team in bother on at...
As dominating a performance as one could hope for as Liverpool scored two goals without a response in what could be termed as a one-sided first leg. Liverpool absolutely bossed the game from start to finish and carry a satisfactory two goal advantage into the return leg. A clean sheet is a big boost...
For a change, it was Liverpool who inflicted heartbreak on Crystal Palace as a soft penalty in extra-time meant Liverpool came away with three points at Selhurst Park, after what seems like aeons. Surprisingly, Liverpool seemed more spirited once they were down to ten men and were duly rewarded with some long awaited luck.
This...
Maybe the wounds of the League Cup final loss have not healed completely, but Liverpool went a long way in trying to do that on a recuperative night at Anfield, as Manchester City were put to the sword at a ground that has been an absolute graveyard for them in recent years.
It was refreshing...
