On the latest RAW Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Karl Matchett reflect on a hugely disappointing defeat to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium as Arne Slot’s Reds returned to looking disjointed, fragile and uninspired in a defeat which seemed to signal the end of any remaining pretensions Liverpool might have had of retaining their title.

Remember the sweet tranquility of those 1-0 snooze-fests that we used to complain about early in the season? How much would you give for a few of those now?
Jurgen Klopp set Liverpool up with a few surprises. Gini Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson were absent with injuries, leaving a skeleton crew with Adam Lallana starting...
Liverpool’s lead at the top is now just two points after another frustrating draw against West Ham.
GOALKEEPER:
Alisson 6
Carried no fault from the goal and did well dealing with everything else thrown at him.
DEFENCE:

Struggles against Anderson as many expected him to do, lacking the pace of Trent Alexander Arnold but he did get...
Liverpool's German manager Jurgen Klopp claims that his team will not focus solely on Premier League success for the remainder of this season.
The Reds are entering the final three months of what has already been a season to remember as a Liverpool fan. Klopp's charges have blown away all of Liverpool's previous top-flight records...
Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne doesn't think that his side's title-winning experience gives them an advantage over Liverpool as the teams battle it out for Premier League glory between now and May.
Speaking to Sky Sports on Sunday, City's Belgian star admitted that it could, in fact, be Liverpool who possess the advantage of not...
Liverpool confirmed this morning that young defender Joe Gomez will undergo surgery on the lower-leg fracture he suffered in The Reds' 3-1 win at Burnley back in early December.
Initially, the Liverpool medical staff felt Gomez would be fit to return to training in late January. However, the backroom team has now decided that the...
Well, yes.
As it stands right now, Joe Gomez’s injury cloud has only darkened – perhaps turning into a dreaded storm cloud should his spell on the sidelines span further than Liverpool’s tie against Bayern Munich in February – and Liverpool are still without an actual right-back.
All while still remaining firmly on top of the...
With a number of injuries and a suspension to deal with, even after the team sheets were announced, it was unclear exactly how Liverpool would set up. Initial reports indicated Gini Wijnaldum would fill in at right-back, in Alexander-Arnold's absence, but instead, it was club captain, Jordan Henderson who would feature there, and Naby Keïta...
Seriously though, what is the point? You've read the title, you may or may not agree with the sentiment it offers but either way you're now expecting to read a piece of writing justifying whether or not there is actually any point in Liverpool's continual employment of their number 20.
Yet here I sit, staring...
Through these frigid few days, even pessimistic Liverpool supporters were reluctantly cosying up to the idea that The Reds, 5 points ahead with 14 matches to go, are the presumptive favourites to win their first title in the Premier League era.
Turns out. We can’t have nice things.
After beginning the season with what looked on...
During the (admittedly very few) title races we’ve been involved in recently there’s been a lot of ‘they might drop points here!’ and ‘maybe we can make up the ground there!’ when looking towards our closest rivals. As if we’re sort of expecting it to happen and we’re counting on others to mess up,...

Liverpool go into their game with West Ham on Monday night off the back of their first dropped points against a team outside the top six this season. Despite that, however, the Reds have managed to stretch their advantage at the top of the Premier League to 5 points, as Man City face Arsenal...
It wasn't the result we were all hoping for against Leicester at Anfield.
In the wake of an unexpected slip-up from City, the snowy, sub-zero Merseyside night presented a perfect opportunity for Liverpool to further freeze out their nearest title rivals by moving seven points clear at the top.
It wasn't to be, and a 1-1...
Liverpool were always going to drop points against a non-top-six side eventually, simply by the law of averages.
To have almost reached February before succumbing to one of the Premier League's so-called 'lesser' outfits really is an achievement to be proud of.
Think about how long ago August was and what you were doing back then....
I hate transfer windows. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. A solid third of the year – and that’s just when it’s open – dedicated to incessant droning about every player under the sun, consistent links and, worst of all, complaining about things that haven’t even happened yet.
“Why on earth haven’t...
An opportunity missed or an effective free hit? Liverpool fans have been left with mixed emotions after watching their side struggle to a draw against Leicester yet extend their lead over Manchester City in the process.
The Reds had looked on course to breeze to a seven-point margin after Sadio Mane curled them in front in...
Well, that was bad, wasn’t it? Liverpool dropped points to a side outside the top six for the first time with a disappointing 1-1 draw with Leicester City. But what were the key stats from a cold, and horrible night inside Anfield?
Lacklustre Reds Fail To Fire
As far as attacking performances go, this was bad....
Rafa Benitez became an even greater figure in the eyes of Liverpool fans on Tuesday night after guiding Newcastle to a surprise 2-1 victory against Premier League holders Manchester City, coming back from behind to give Klopp's side the opportunity to extend their position at the top to seven points. A golden opportunity to...
Liverpool came into the match against Leicester with an opportunity to create a massive gulf between themselves and, best club in Europe, Manchester City. Rafa Benitez had done his part on Tuesday, beating City 2-1, but with injuries mounting and weather worsening, would The Reds be able to take full advantage?
The line-up from Klopp...
Where to start with that one? A point gained, two points lost? Klopp's substitutions? The refereeing? The pitch?
Liverpool go five points clear. In a week where Manchester City played away at one of the worst teams in the league, we've extended our lead.
Yet, it could have been so much more. Sadio Mané's early goal...
Every stage of a Premier League title race is crucial. I say that now to get it out of the way. The start was crucial – Liverpool winning their first six games of the season set the baseline. When the start is done, the next period leading up to Christmas is crucial – Liverpool...
Sadio Mane has not scored in 18 of his last 23 appearances for Liverpool - that is quite some stat. In isolation this is nowhere near good enough for a wide-forward. However, what Mane brings to this side is something which very few attacking players in world football could offer. Whether he's playing on...
Football teams can enjoy success in one of two ways: an immediate gain via trophies that eventually peter out into a transitional phase where the club must effectively ‘go again’ or a long-term vision, a five-year plan of progression towards consistent triumph.
In the past, Liverpool would fall under the first category, showing plenty of...

We’re just days away from Liverpool’s next match at Anfield as they look to record a win against Leicester City and maintain their four-point lead at the top of the Premier League table. With the pressure mounting week by week, it’s hard to think about anything other than this season’s title challenge. But how...
When Sergio Ramos hauled Mo Salah to the ground in Kiev last May, ending his participation in the Champions League final, you could be forgiven for a familiar feeling entered the mind.

Liverpool fans were devastated when Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain picked his serious knee ligament injury against Roma in April. Despite having been playing regularly for the club for less than six months, Ox had already demonstrated that he was a crucial part of the Reds’ midfield, adding a dynamism and energy that made a real difference,...
Before the home win at Crystal Palace—a game which saw Red hearts beat all the faster for the first time in a while—the ground paid tribute to Bob Paisley, who was born 100 years ago this week.

When Jürgen Klopp arrived on Merseyside back in October 2015, it's fair to say that there were quite a few problems that the German tactician had to tend to.
Over the course of the last three-and-a-bit years, it's fair to say that he's done a very good job and has completely turned Liverpool around in...
