Tony Evans: Good Riddance to a Horrible Man
The guilty men of Hillsborough will die in their droves in the next few years. They go to their graves with their reputations intact, having enjoyed the honours and status bestowed on them by a rancid country. Those honours should have been stripped from them.
Sir Bernard Ingham died last week. Margaret Thatcher’s press secretary was arguably the worst of the Hillsborough liars. He seemed to delight in upsetting those who suffered at Sheffield Wednesday’s ground on April 15, 1989. …
Newcastle and Real Madrid the real gauge of 'revitalised' Liverpool
Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Everton was a delight.
It earned the Reds local bragging rights, it represented a much-needed return to winning ways, and most importantly, it resembled something close to the team of old.
All of a sudden, there was more purpose in the pressing, more focus at the back and more cohesion in the front-three. and they all came together to seal a richly-deserved win.
Much of the narrative in the days after the game has been that …
Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton - The Post-Mortem
I wrote last week how the issues engulfing Manchester City (right now), could have a positive effect on the Reds' mentality. With Pep Guardiola having had a series of press conference meltdowns, it would have surely changed the dynamic and conversation within the AXA training ground to see their rivals being charged (with over 100 offences) by the Premier League. In the lead up to the that ground breaking news, you can imagine the reds changing room was a chasm …
Lessons Learned In Win Over Everton
Ahhh ... I love the smell of a derby victory in the morning! Probably like most Reds who’ve been sampling every bit of content they can, Liverpool aren’t fully back but you can relive the key movements from the match again without your eyes closed. The scoreline didn’t flatter them and whilst there will be tougher games than this, none if any maybe as savoured. Bragging rights are secure, chanting commenced, we laughed with Robbo and all whilst Jurgen Klopp’s …

Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton PL Man of The Match
Darwin Nunez
From the opening whistle, you could see his powerful running was going to cause all sorts of issues. With a position that saw him start as the left sided forward, it gave him room to exploit a slightly laboured Everton rear-guard, especially in transition.
The intent and drive forward for the opening goal were pure Liverpool countering. With a forward line determined to keep pace …

Alisson Becker – 7.0
The reds player of the season, and so important to Liverpool in all games. Had a quiet opening period, as the reds looked to take the play to their neighbours. Was strong under pressure as the reds doubled their lead.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0
Thrown into the mix once more, with an ambition to play him into form. He looked lively and aggressive in the final third …

Tony Evans: Monday's Merseyside Derby is a Watershed Moment for Liverpool
Looking back, it struck me that very few of my favourite derby memories took place at Anfield. Most were at other grounds – Wembley, Maine Road and Goodison.
The standout games across the park were the 3-2 in 1985, when the teams were arguably the two best sides in Europe, and the 5-0 in 1982. Gary McAllister’s winner in 2001’s 3-2 victory was truly remarkable.
More recently, the Sadio Mane late, late winner was a brilliant moment. The Street End’s …

Tony Evans: It's Time For Mo Salah to Shine
There is no doubt that Mo Salah is a Liverpool great. He has been the cutting edge of the Jurgen Klopp era. Unfortunately, he’s dropped down a gear just at the moment and he needs to step up another level.
We’ve come to expect more than seven goals in half a Premier League season. He’s going to have to double that output in the next 19 games to make qualification for next year’s Champions League a possibility.
But first it’s …
