My supporting naivety led me to predict a 3-1 home win in the first leg. The early stages had me nodding at my footballing wisdom, until Real Madrid found out just how bad the Reds can be. All teams can have moments of desire and periods of good fortune, but class will often prevail....
Trent Alexander-Arnold didn’t sugarcoat it in anyway when asked afterwards about Liverpool’s abject performance against Bournemouth. “Every team in the league is fighting for something so it means a lot to get the three points and I think looking back on it now, they probably wanted it more than us and that is something...
So, the Roberto Firmino era at Liverpool is coming to an end. Yep, I'm in floods of tears, too.
Last week, the Reds' brilliant Brazilian announced that he wouldn't be signing a new deal at Anfield this summer, with the news met with much sadness by many.
Firmino's world-class talents may have waned since the title-winning...
If you offered all Reds the option, you suspect most would be happy to call the season now and move straight to the summer window. Every game that Liverpool play seems to serve as a stark reminder of the rebuild that’s needed before next season. Jurgen Klopp has changed tack slightly and spoke publicly...
Jurgen Klopp was clear and direct in his press conference on Friday morning. Liverpool have some knocks from the Real Madrid game, so they have and want to make changes to the line-up. Who and what they might be is open to speculation until 6:45pm on Saturday night, but the manager talked about focusing...
As Liverpool games go, few in history have felt more dispiriting than Tuesday's 5-2 mauling at the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Frustratingly, the Reds actually played well for a chunk of the first half, racing into a 2-0 lead, with much-maligned individuals such as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson looking more like...
Shall we be Real? Well, we can’t be. Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. They are defending the Champions League, a trophy they’ve won in four of the past nine seasons.
If you’re freaked out that Liverpool are not as good as them, you’re taking bedwetting to new levels. It is not...
To see the once mighty Reds score two goals at Anfield (under those famous lights), whilst still falling so dramatically to the feet of Real Madrid is as disastrous as it gets. The way in which Liverpool surrendered their lead was painful to watch, though as the 4th and 5th away goals went in,...
A schooling, a hammering and absolute annihilation. Three comments I saw on social media afterwards, which are all completely true. What started to look like being another dream night at Anfield quickly disintegrated into an absolute nightmare for Liverpool as they were well beaten by an outstanding Real Madrid side. Even the most optimistic...
