Manchester United 1-1 Liverpool - Player Ratings as below-par Reds sneak Old Trafford draw
Well, that was horrendous. Liverpool should not have let this Manchester United side get away as easily as they did at Old Trafford tonight. The Reds went down in the first half to a contentious Marcus Rashford goal, but Adam Lallana's late equaliser spared the blushes, as Jurgen Klopp's men remained the only unbeaten side in the Premier League this season.
Right from the get-go, the Reds were lethargic, as shoddy passing and lazy movements defined the play in the …
Lallana Levels Late for Liverpool
A late goal from substitute Adam Lallana salvaged a point for Liverpool in their 1-1 draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford this evening.
The home team had lead through a Marcus Rashford goal mired in controversy but Lallana, who replaced Jordan Henderson, had the simple task of converting Andrew Robertson's cross into an empty net in the 85th minute.
The beginning of the game was typical of a first match after an international break; slack passes were compounded by …
100% Liverpool Writing Their Own Script
Liverpool notched their 8th straight Premier League win of the season, their 17th in a row total and moved eight points clear at the top of the league with a late penalty against Leicester.
There was a sense of palatable relief as James Milner stepped up in the 95th minute to down Leicester and give Liverpool the three points. It was not a day where Liverpool deserved to drop points, but it increasingly looked like a day where they would.

Alisson on his road to recovery and eagerness to return to action
Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson Becker knows he is now mere weeks away from returning to first-team action for Jurgen Klopp's Reds.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Alisson discussed his recovery and how close he is to returning to full training.
“I’m on a good way, I think we are nearly there. “I can go outside to the pitch to do some goalkeeper work and I feel very well. I feel confident and I think now it’s just about getting all my power, all …
Liverpool's Most Underrated Defender
Trent Alexander-Arnold is known for a lot of things but defending isn’t one of them. The Liverpool right-back is often pinpointed as a weak link in the backline. Pundits and fans of rival clubs cite the time Marcus Rashford terrorised him during the 2017/18 campaign.
They’ll bring up the times Burnley’s Dwight McNeil and Cardiff City’s Nathaniel Mendez-Laing caused him problems down the right flank. He’s viewed by the masses as an attacking full-back with a number of defensive flaws. …
Is Van Dijk the Premier League's best-ever centre-back?
Has a Liverpool player ever received as much endless praise over a sustained period than Virgil van Dijk?
The Dutchman has been an almost godlike figure at Anfield from the moment he arrived in January 2018, powering home a header in front of the Kop on his debut, against Everton no less.
Since then, Van Dijk has transformed a leaky defence that used to concede comical goals into one of Europe's most solid back-lines.
With the 28-year-old in the team, …
John Achterberg discloses details of Adrian's extra training during break
Goalkeeping coach John Achterberg says Liverpool's Adrian was undertaking extra training sessions during the current international break to make up for the Spaniard's lack of pre-season workouts.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Achterberg disclosed that Adrian had not been sitting back and taking it easy since we last saw him in action.
“We did a few extra sessions with them both last week at Melwood. Obviously, Adrian came late in the summer to us and then after that he had an ankle …
Four From Four - Business as Usual for Liverpool
We are four games into the Premier League season, so naturally, it’s time for an irritating international break. International breaks, of course, have their benefits: being able to focus on the Ashes, the slight increase in quality in David Squires’ cartoons, managing to go a whole weekend without having some sort of stress-induced heart attack, and for those of us that actually enjoy it, the prospect of seeing your national team play.
There are some benefits for Liverpool and its …
Fabinho: Banishing Ghosts of Emre Can - And Then Some
When Emre Can was allowed to leave Liverpool to move to Juventus in 2018, many questioned whether Liverpool had made a mistake.
The German midfielder allowed his contract to run down before inevitably joining Juventus on a free transfer, leaving many fans scratching their head as to the club's decision to let him go.
However, fast forward a little over 12 months, and a man by the name of Fabinho has not only quashed the above scaremongering from Kopites, but …
Adrian already loving Liverpool in his short time at the club
Liverpool's new arrival, Adrian, has already enjoyed what he considers one of the best moments of his career at the club, despite arriving less than a month ago.
Adrian arrived in early August when it became clear that Liverpool's second-choice goalkeeper, Simon Mignolet, was returning to his homeland with Club Brugge.
In the first half of Liverpool's opening Premier League game against Norwich, Alisson suffered a suspected calf-tear and he has been out of action since. Adrian made his entrance …
