Player Ratings as the baby Reds defeat Everton
Arguably the most fun I've had watching Liverpool all season, there. The absolute state of Everton Football Club. Appoint one of the greatest managers the game has ever seen, rock up at Anfield to play against Adam Lallana's Nursery XI and STILL come away with a defeat.
They might be awful on the pitch, but their commitment to banter is up there with the best in the world.
Curtis Jones with the only goal of the game and what a …

Divock Origi loves a big game, Sadio Mane is a magician and Everton are really bad are my main takeaways, and here are my ratings.

Player Ratings as Liverpool Topple Leicester City
The Reds keep marching on after a dramatic 95th-minute penalty from James Milner sealed all 3 points. Liverpool should have had the game wrapped up much earlier but wasted a number of opportunities, allowing Leicester the chance to level late on. However, it was a thoroughly deserved win which will undoubtedly boil the piss of the rest of the Premier League, so that’s nice, isn’t it?
Adrian – 5
Was decent up until the goal, but you can’t be letting those …
Player ratings as Liverpool see the Blades fall on their 'keeper's sword'
We're going to have to start playing a little better if we want to win the league, but seven wins from seven and I'm happy.

Imperious Virg
Adrian (7): Makes a couple of really good saves that would normally push him up to an eight. Unfortunately, his kicking let him down with a few …

Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool: A Tactical Breakdown
After a series of relatively soft fixtures, a Champions League game away to Napoli followed by a match at Stamford Bridge five days later stood out as a particularly sticky and potentially troublesome duo.
Yet Liverpool are still flying high, having won their opening six league games, but questions about their performance levels remain.
Liverpool’s first-half saw a strong performance, underpinned by two set-pieces which ultimately proved the differential between both sides. But tactically, the first half saw Liverpool press …
Set-Pieces and Dark Arts: Chelsea 1-2 Liverpool
Liverpool managed to extend their 100% record with a win over Chelsea on Sunday, and while the result deserves praise, the Reds were quite poor with and without the ball. It seemed obvious amidst the second half that Liverpool were shattered, both mentally and physically. Loose passes and leggy ground covering showed that the trip to Naples had taken its toll. What's important, though, is that Liverpool managed to pick up 3 points in a fixture that ended the very …
