Ahead of the season's concluding …
Lessons Learned: Brentford
There’ll be typical non-headlines about the booing at Anfield but all that mattered was a sixth win on the trot to keep the pressure on. Champions League qualification looks a forlorn hope, but Liverpool are finishing the season strongly and that’s important for a number of reasons. There were the familiar faces doing the business for the Reds or not as the case maybe and this had all the echoes of the other night against Fulham. On coronation day, there’s …

Mohamed Salah
This was far from a perfect performance, yet the former Chelsea forward was the difference between the sides at Anfield.
Thomas Frank was looking to become the first manager (of an English side) to record two wins against Klopp, in a singular season. His team tore the reds apart on their home ground in January (3-1), therefore arrived with a clear intent to bully and harass their richer …

Alisson Becker - 7.0
Had a first half scare with the disallowed goal and a few aerial balls that needed catching, but was comfortable for much of the opening exchanges. Once again, the second half needed him to be assured with his handling, as Brentford refused to back off.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0
The defensive and playmaking interchange needed more attention in this game, which nearly had him caught out …
Brentford 3 - 1 Liverpool - Premier League Post-Mortem
With a couple of days to reflect and take a sensible view on Liverpool’s last outing, it was still something close to dreadful. We have had too many abject performances so far this term, with resulting theories and opinions thrown about by the fan base like confetti. The conspiracies surrounding Pep Lijnders and his influence on team affairs is now swirling, which could get worse for him before it gets better.
Without delving too much into the political landscape of …
Lessons Learned: Brentford
Where to even start with this one. A hard watch for all Reds against Brentford, as Liverpool were outfought, outrun and came away with what they deserved from the Gtech Community stadium. The outcry on social media was vast and no-one escaped, all the way from the manager to the owners. Liverpool’s season appears to be on the precipice right now and after a few good recent results, the performance wasn’t unexpected. We try and salvage some lessons learned from …

Alisson Becker - 6.0
Made a super one on save in the early stages, only to see an own goal slip past him with the resulting corner. So unlucky with the second goal, with his team continuing to let him down. Was let down again for the final goal.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0
Had a great game versus Leicester, but lacked that level of form through the opening stages. …
Brentford v Liverpool - The PL Preview
With two victories and one game to go, the Christmas and New Year’s Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a decent Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp followed that up with a home win against Brendan Rodgers’ Leicester City. Though that 2-1 victory came with some very poor performances, hopefully some changes can be made to ensure a slightly smoother encounter this Monday evening.
Brentford’s last game saw them successfully overcome West …

Bring Me Ivan Toney
Now and again an opposing side can cause such a stir it has the manager (on the receiving end) look deeply into said team, and more importantly their players. I wrote about the RB Salzburg tie from a few years back and how the intelligence, elegance and work rate of a certain Takumi Minamino, prompted Liverpool to make move for the gifted attacker. Whereas this deal hasn’t worked out from a first team point of view, the low fee paid …
