Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - The FA Cup Post-Mortem
After cleaning house in the domestic cup stakes last season, the Reds bowed out to their recent south coast tormentors, thereby tumbling out of the prestigious FA Cup. Though this was a far better output than that which we saw in the league recently (3-0 loss), it still shows that this group is veering from their required path, with much work needed to get back on track.
When looking at the starting line-up, it’s now abundantly clear that he has …
Lesson Learned: Brighton (FA Cup)
There’s a great quote from parenthood that goes ‘you can’t go through life allowing pain to dictate how you behave’. Clearly the scriptwriters for this don’t know the effects that Liverpool can have on people. There were a few positives to take from a return to the scene of the crime at The Amex, but it was hard to feel anything but deflated when Brighton’s second set-piece goal and injury time winner hit the net. We look at the lessons …
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 …
Return to Brighton: The Scene of the Crime
As the old saying goes ‘the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime’. It would be hard to describe Liverpool’s last visit to the AMEX Stadium as anything other than that, in what turned out to be a dismal 3-0 defeat earlier this month. The Reds now have a chance to exercise those demons in the fourth round of the FA Cup this weekend, but travelling fans may well be making the journey in hope rather than expectation. …
Brighton v Liverpool - The FA Cup 4th Round Preview
After the Reds' 3-0 loss away to Brighton two weeks ago, it’s fair to say that this FA Cup match up could be viewed in a couple of different ways. On one hand, it’s a chance for Liverpool to exorcise some of the demons created. On the more realistic hand, it’s perhaps another game where a far more structured team will be able to exploit Liverpool’s ever present deficiencies.
Brighton’s last outing saw them draw 2-2, away to Leicester, …

Lessons Learned in the Victory Over Wolves (F.A Cup)
Everything just feels right again doesn’t it! It’s amazing what a win for the Reds can do and FA Cup replay or not, there were so many positives to take from last night it was brilliant. Most importantly with Chelsea coming up at the weekend, it gave Jurgen Klopp some food for thought and that wasn’t lost on Paul Joyce post match, who asked the manager if ‘anyone had played their way in’. It’s certainly easier this time for us …
Wolves 0 - 1 Liverpool - FA Cup Man of the Match
Wolves 0 - 1 Liverpool - FA Cup Man of the Match
Harvey Elliott
A game that allowed him to express himself without the rigorous restraints of midfield. Playing wider and higher definitely suited him game and the only goal of the game was sensational.
This young man is often maligned for failing to excel in a spot that his game simply does not fit. Going forward, we need to ensure we are not shoehorning in these young players into …

Caoimhin Kelleher - 7.0
Recalled for this competition and enjoyed a very quiet first half. The second half was very controlled and he once more had very little to do.
James Milner - 6.0
Had moments where he struggled to get back, with Wolves targeting the flanks for their attacks. Showed good composure up and down the flank in the first half and was a constant voice for Harvey ahead …
Wolves v Liverpool - The FA Cup Replay Preview
After yet another disappointing Premier League fixture, Liverpool once again head into a game with an urgent need to improve their form. With the painful 0-3 loss to Brighton still fresh in our memories, it really does seem likely that a disappointing result will unfold, as they travel to the Molineux Stadium for their FA Cup replay. Last week saw the first tie end in a 1-1 drawn, so this is a game that really could add salt the reds …
