This wasn’t vintage Liverpool, nor did it need to be. The Reds had done half the job at Anfield and just needed to maintain composure in Portugal, knowing that an away goal would likely be enough to see them through to their second semi-final in two years. VAR Margins VAR is essentially marmite – you […]
Match Report: Porto 0 Liverpool 2 Champions League quarterfinals aren’t supposed to feel this casual. Nothing Liverpool related is supposed to feel this casual. And, so it was that what you might have thought would be a sunny trip to northern Portugal would end up being a deluge. Jurgen Klopp sent out a strong side […]
How did that end 4-1? Well, you could argue Liverpool outclassed Porto in both penalty areas, and thoroughly deserved that result. And you’d be able to present a justifiable argument. But for large parts of that game, it just didn’t look like Liverpool were going to win 4-1. Sadio Mané put the Reds on their […]
It’s been a long, long time. Too long in fact. Javier Mascherano was the last of the Liverpool midfielders that really liked to put the boot in, that engaged in the dark arts of utter sh*thousery, doing the dirty work to make his more electrifying counterparts sparkle. Now, that mantle has been well and truly […]
Liverpool are on the brink of a historic season as they turned in an absolutely fantastic performance to see off Chelsea at Anfield. The Reds have managed to play their way into some excellent form, following up wins against Spurs, Southampton and Porto with their first win at home to Chelsea in seven years, and […]
Liverpool take on Porto next week in their Champions League second leg encounter at the Estádio do Dragão, but the match offers an extra degree of interest. Porto midfielders, Yacine Brahimi and Héctor Herrera, are both out of contract this summer and could possibly be destined for Anfield next season. Liverpool have missed the attacking […]
As Jordan Henderson moves seamlessly from defensive midfield to a more advanced role, I look to do similar by taking up the ‘Man of the Match’ element of this week’s post-match work, rotating my ‘Virgil Van Dijk (8): What a lovely beard he has’ player rating duties to the lovely Aaditya Narayan. And what a […]
Nerves? What nerves? Liverpool delivered the latest statement that they refuse to bow down in the ongoing title race. Watching Manchester City coast to another comfortable win despite many suggesting Crystal Palace could be a potential bogey fixture, the pressure was on Jurgen Klopp’s side to respond. And so they did, emphatically dispatching Chelsea 2-0 […]
What a massive win! Liverpool were definitely the better side as they beat Chelsea 2-0 at Anfield. Sadio Mane opened the scoring, before Mohamed Salah thundered in a long-ranger at the Kop End to double the lead. The Reds had a few nervy moments after being two goals up, when Eden Hazard hit the post […]
