Out of the Champions League at the last 16 stage with barely a whimper. Truth be told, it wasn’t too much of a contest in the Bernabau as Real Madrid won 1-0 on the night and 6-2 on aggregate. Liverpool fans have a long time to process this one as their next game isn’t...
Alisson Becker
Sensational, unmatched, irresistible, irreplaceable, and devastatingly world class.
The first half was a masterful display by the huge Brazilian, as he kept the reds clinging to the tie, with some outrageous saves.
With a long range effort tipped over, a short range effort thwarted, a one on one brilliantly smothered, and a number of efforts...
Alisson Becker - 9.0
A simply emphatic first half display, with number of world class stops that kept the reds in the tie. The second half saw him continue to show his world class credentials, with one marvellous one on one stope from Valverde. He could nothing for the opening goal, which ended a tie...
The motivation to continually overcome any and all adversaries must be difficult, especially when the highest of highs have previously been attained. I would imagine it’s fairly easy to raise one’s level when Manchester United are rolling into town, yet a windy lunch time in Bournemouth is perhaps a stretch too far for some....
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...
I loved Kenny Dalglish because he was the King, whilst I was all in on Souness because of his Liverpool heritage, until that went very wrong. Roy Evans was a joyful figure that brought a wonderful feel to our football, before Gérard Houllier became the man that delivered a bucket load of silverware. Rafael...
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...
