Liverpool 3 - 1 Cardiff - The Player Ratings
Caoimhin Kelleher - 6.5
Possibly lucky with the yellow card incident, and moments of rashness needs to be parked. No fault for the goal, and Milner should be pinned for the blame there.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 7.0
Another assist, in an ordinary performance against another low block side. The thought of this man being joined by Elliott and Mo once more is tantalising.
Kostas Tsimikas - 7.0
Crossed, crossed and crossed some more. A willing outlet and good deputy …
Leeds 0-3 Liverpool: Observations as Elliott injury mars excellent victory
When Liverpool fans say that playing Leeds 'should suit us', this is why. Having been shut down by the low block of 10-man Chelsea prior to the international break, the Reds must have relished the space and the freedom they were afforded here.
That's not to say Leeds are a push-over. Some would point to today and their opening day thrashing at Old Trafford and argue that they're an ideal opponent for top sides. On the other hand, though, this …
Squad role for Harvey Elliott at Liverpool next season?
Many football fans are guilty of getting carried away about young players, particularly English individuals who play for their own team.
It's only natural, in fairness, with the thought of a young homegrown talent eventually becoming a superstar one of the most appealing stories in the game.
We have seen it firsthand with Steven Gerrard and Trent Alexander-Arnold, but they are still in the huge minority, with so many not making the grade.
Liverpool supporters have been guilty of over-hyping …
Liverpool Advance Thanks To Lincoln Assassination
Liverpool will play Arsenal in the fourth round of the League Cup after they thumped Lincoln City 7-2 away.
A brace of goals from both Takumi Minamino and Curtis Jones, as well as further strikes from Divock Origi, Marko Grujic, and Xherdan Shaqiri sealed the much-changed Reds' passage into the next round.
The game was seen as a shop window for some of Liverpool's fringe players and Shaqiri, in particular, would have done either his prospects of remaining part of …
Liverpool 1-0 Everton: Observations as Jones piles misery on Blues
Every victory over Everton is immensely satisfying, but this was particularly memorable. For once, Liverpool were underdogs, but with the burden of pressure instead falling upon Blue shoulders, they buckled, and Curtis Jones made them pay in dazzling style.
Rarely has football seen a hoodoo on the scale of the Toffees at Anfield. More than twenty years have passed since their last victory in enemy territory, and even against a team cheaper than Gylfi Sigurdsson they could not banish their …
Player Ratings as the baby Reds defeat Everton
Arguably the most fun I've had watching Liverpool all season, there. The absolute state of Everton Football Club. Appoint one of the greatest managers the game has ever seen, rock up at Anfield to play against Adam Lallana's Nursery XI and STILL come away with a defeat.
They might be awful on the pitch, but their commitment to banter is up there with the best in the world.
Curtis Jones with the only goal of the game and what a …
Young Liverpool Dump Everton Out of FA Cup
Liverpool advanced to the fourth round of the FA Cup at the expense of their neighbours Everton with a 1-0 Merseyside Derby win at Anfield.
A superb goal from Curtis Jones gave the much changed Reds the victory over their fully loaded local rivals, condemning recently hired manager Carlo Ancelotti to his first defeat in charge.
Coming in the midst of a busy run of fixtures, manager Jurgen Klopp elected to make a raft of personnel changes, with only James …
The future's bright for Klopp's young mentality monsters
Different team, same old story.
To say Liverpool's progression to the Carabao Cup quarter-final was a rollercoaster would be a huge understatement after the 5-4 penalty win following a 5-5 draw against Arsenal at Anfield.
It was a night where Klopp placed his faith in youth once more and Liverpool's stars of the future repaid that faith with a vibrant - if a little harem scarem - win.
The Reds lined up with senior players such as Milner, Lallana, Oxlade-Chamberlain, …
Harvey Elliott is Missing Something...
Typically, when a player as young as sixteen is standing out in senior football you can invariably bank on one of two things being immediately evident. Either:
a) The kid has a natural physique well beyond his years or;
b) He possesses absolutely electric pace.
Yet, for all the acclaim that Harvey Elliott’s first team bow for the Reds has rightly drawn, neither of those things are reasons for the understandable wave of optimism surrounding his inaugural Liverpool performance. In …
Rotated Reds Reach Next Round
Goals from James Milner and Ki-Jana Hoever saw Liverpool advance to the next round of the Carabao Cup, after a 2-0 victory over MK Dons.
Jurgen Klopp made wholesale changes from the side that defeated Chelsea away in the Premier League on Sunday, handing debuts to three youth team products.
Caoimhin Kelleher, Rhian Brewster and Harvey Elliot were all handed their Reds bow in a mix and matched team of youth and senior players in need of match sharpness from …
