Yesterday I ordered a new thermos to take with me when I am out and about, to add to the three or four vessels of insulated coffee that accompany me on my varying journeys. At some point during the second half, I started checking the different foods and soups I could place within my...
A hangover, Real Madrid still playing on their minds etc etc. Whichever way you dress it up or whatever excuses could be made, this was a terrible game of football. Crystal Palace’s own struggles aside, it’s hard to believe this was a team who are supposed to be chasing champions league football and as...
Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 6.0
The chance to redeem himself, after a tough Champions League week. He was solid enough, especially as his side seemed poised to gift the home side a big chance through the first half. Was largely a second half spectator, in a very...

Virgil van Dijk

A very unspectacular game from the giant Dutchman, yet his role was more about offering coverage and control, as the surrounding cast struggled to carry out their duties.

Was vocal and largely untroubled, as Palace looked to target Matip & Trent. He...
After a rather enjoyable league renaissance, Liverpool’s brief resurrection reverted to form in midweek, with an astonishing 2-5 loss unfolding at home to Real Madrid. The result and manner in which the reds capitulated was a horrible watch, leaving them (realistically) only one path into Europe next season. This Saturday evening sees Jürgen Klopp...
Harvey Elliott
The teenager started, and was the bright spark of very few positives for the Reds. His youthful enthusiasm means he is currently a must in the first eleven, and hopefully with some Naby shaped control in the middle (and 11 men on the pitch), he can continue his good form against Man United...
Liverpool 1 - 1 Crystal Palace - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 6.5
Came in for some flak last week. He could do nothing for the opening goal, and was superb in denying Zaha shortly thereafter in a one on one. Had little to do, in another frustration filled game.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 6.5
A rare poor...
No Liverpool fan is happy with how the Reds' opening game against Fulham went, and it really is a question as to who starts this game. Injuries are an issue, but there is still more than enough to collect all three points. The balance of the team needs to be addressed and certain games...
The Premier League title race has been widely declared 'over' on two occasions already this season.
First, there was City's comeback win against Arsenal, the epitome of 'mark of champions', and then there was their victory at home to reigning kings of Europe Chelsea a fortnight later.
'If they don't drop points here,' we thought, 'when...
