Liverpool's Biggest Moments 2018/19 - The Champions League
So in part one of this series, I wrote about Liverpool’s top five moments in their Premier League season, from my perspective. With the UCL, it’s maybe a little easier, and at the same time, a little harder, to produce a top five. On the one hand, it’s very easy because there are pretty much five standout moments in the campaign – so I’m indeed going to go with something along the lines of the five moments that you might …
Liverpool wallop Watford to stay on top
Liverpool:
Alisson, Trent, Matip, Van Dijk, Fabinho, Wijnaldum, Milner, Origi, Mané, Salah

Divock Origi: Liverpool's Forgotten Belgian

Failure to make an impact could spell the beginning of the end for the Belgian while a string of consistent and eye-catching performances could keep him in Klopp’s long-term plans.
Having signed back in 2014, featuring in …
