Liverpool are battling to keep their season alive these days. A slight upturn in form has seen hopes of a top-four finish rekindled at Anfield. On Tuesday night, The Reds' Champions League dreams took a blow to the throat in Madrid, however. Now, Jürgen Klopp and his men must put …
Young Liverpool defender hopeful of more game time if Reds can progress further in FA Cup
Liverpool defender Neco Williams is hopeful of a long FA Cup run this season so he can benefit from potentially more game time with the first team.
Jurgen Klopp's side survived a first-half scare against Aston Villa's youth players last Friday night in the third round of the competition. Louie Barry beat Rhys Williams and Caoimhin Kelleher to make it 1-1 for at the half-time break at Villa Park. However, Liverpool's dominance showed in the second half as they ran …
Liverpool midfielder insists Reds want to "play for everything" after FA Cup win at Aston Villa
Liverpool midfielder Gini Wijnaldum says that Jürgen Klopp's men are hungry for success in every tournament they enter this season.
Wijnaldum scored his side's second goal in their 4-1 win over a young Aston Villa side on Friday night in the third round of the FA Cup.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the victory, Wijnaldum said:
“We said at the beginning of the season that we wanted to play for everything. “Of course it’s difficult to play everything with your strongest …
Will this be Liverpool's lineup to face Aston Villa tonight in the FA Cup?
Liverpool travel to Villa Park tonight as they prepare to face Dean Smith's Aston Villa in the third round of the FA Cup.
Jürgen Klopp is likely to field a much-changed side for The Reds as some youth talent and squad players are given the opportunity to showcase their talents in a push towards the first team.
It is the ideal time for some of Liverpool's stars to be rested after some jaded-looking Premier League outings in recent weeks.
Caoimhin …

_________________________________________________________________
The last place Jürgen Klopp's Redmen will want to visit in their current jaded state is Villa Park. Liverpool were demolished 7-2 there back in October in the Premier League. It was a freak result where The Reds had what many of us would now consider a full-strength team …
Liverpool No Excuses Reaction Bodes Well For Future
Rooting through the charred remains of Liverpool's 7-2 defeat to Aston Villa in search of positives is an entirely difficult pursuit.
To concede seven goals -- and, on balance, it could have been even more -- away to a team who just about managed to survive in the Premier League last season was arguably the Reds' worst result in Premier League history. Yes, worse than the 6-1 defeat away to Stoke City in 2015.
But in the reaction to the …
Liverpool Torn Apart From Villa
Liverpool suffered their first loss of their Premier League title defence as they were torn apart by Aston Villa in a 7-2 defeat at Villa.
Two goals from Mohamed Salah were the Reds' only riposte to an avalanche of goals -- including a hattrick from Ollie Watkins -- from the home side who ruthlessly exploited the visitors poorly orchestrated high-line time and time again.
Jurgen Klopp confirmed before the game that Alisson Becker's shoulder injury would keep him out for …
Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool: What went wrong?
There was no better encapsulation of my feelings towards last night's performance than the Anfield Wrap's half-time Instagram post - 'Fuck off Liverpool'.
At that point, there were still three more Villa goals to come, delivering the kind of result that might leave you queasy and anxious for much of the inexplicably-timed international break.
Even in the apocalyptic context of 2020, this does not mark the end of the world. It is three dropped points, albeit in a fashion so humiliating …
"We couldn't believe it" - Robertson left shell-shocked after Reds' Villa Park debacle
Liverpool fell to one of their heaviest ever defeats at Villa Park on Sunday night in a game that bemused Reds fans and players alike.
Aston Villa turned in a fantastic performance, winning 7-2 and, all things considered, it could have been a lot worse for Liverpool.
When interviewed after the game, Scotland captain Andy Robertson had no excuses for what he admitted was an "embarrassing" result for The Reds.
"At times we couldn't believe it, to be honest. We …
Player ratings as Liverpool succumb to Villa Park embarrassment
Where to start with that one? Aston Villa 7-2 Liverpool. That's *SEVEN* goals for the team that escaped relegation last season due to a goal line technology error, against the Champions of England.
Not sure if this puts my #ProperRed status at risk, but I laughed through that. A lot. Listen, losing big games is horrible. Losing games you deserve to win, games against rivals, close games. All rubbish stuff.
Getting spanked by Aston Villa, courtesy of a hat-trick of …
