Liverpool's 4-0 win at Bournemouth gave The Reds their best ever start to a league season in the club's 126-year history. That is nothing short of phenomenal. To top it all off, Chelsea then beat Manchester City 2-0 to ensure Jurgen Klopp's charges remained on the top of the …
Key Stats As The Salah Show Sees Off Bournemouth
Liverpool went to the top of the Premier League again as they thrashed Bournemouth 4-0, in one of their most composed and impressive performances of the season. But what were the key stats from a hugely important display at the Vitality Stadium?
Salah Scores Again And Again…And Again
Mo Salah scored his second Liverpool hat-trick, the first time he’s scored exactly three goals in a game for the Reds and his first hat-trick away from Anfield. Salah’s goals came from …
Liverpool Top League with Cherry Crush
Waiting for the line-up card to come out has become one of the most suspenseful parts of the Liverpool experience in recent weeks. Most of the anticipation surrounds the season's long wait for Jurgen Klopp to actually field his best eleven, or what the majority of us assume is his best eleven. Injuries to Joe Gomez and Sadio Mané took that option away, but on December 8th, away at Bournemouth, Jurgen Norbert Klopp finally played the Fabinho, Naby Keita, and …
Liverpool Player Ratings as Salah sizzles Bournemouth
Mohamed Salah reminds the Premier League exactly what he's all about and the Reds are top of the Premier League, for a few hours at least. Not a bad way to start the weekend.
Bournemouth aren't a bad side and the 4-0 scoreline doesn't really reflect the gulf between the two teams, but Liverpool were, and are, better.
Salah's three goals combined with own goal of the season from Steve Cook keeps the unbeaten run going. Over to you, Manchester …

Bournemouth beat Huddersfield Town 2-1 on Tuesday night to end a run of four consecutive defeats. They had made a fantastic start to the season before that and are still in a very respectable 7th position, ahead of Manchester United on goal difference.

Man of the Match: Fabinho leaves his mark in first Merseyside Derby
An afternoon that threatened to end in frustration turned into one of jubilation when Liverpool's forgotten man Divock Origi turned home the winner following a howler from Jordan Pickford. While it's hugely tempting to give the Belgian man of the match purely for sending Anfield into another Merseyside frenzy as Sadio Mane's 94th-minute derby winner had done last season, I've tempered my rollercoaster of emotions and turned elsewhere.
It's not been the fastest of starts for Fabinho since his summer …
Observations as Liverpool Find A Way Past The Ev
Liverpool scored a bizarre, 96th-minute winner to see off Everton in a Merseyside Derby that brought the drama in spades. It was an absolutely incredible finish to a game that was not lacking in quality, with both teams missing chances and providing tempo and energy, and it was somewhat fitting that it was Divock Origi who came off the bench to score the winner.
Here are the observations.

Player ratings as Liverpool are punished in Paris
Pretty much the whole lot of them can fuck off tonight, including the manager. You'll see that from the ratings.
Liverpool lose in Paris and now we need to beat Napoli, more than likely by two goals, at Anfield on Matchday 6. It's do-able, but do you fancy keeping the likes of Mertens and Insigne quiet on the counter?
I don't, is all.
Anyway...
Alisson clearly Liverpool's MOTM
Alisson (8):
Really good. Can do nothing about either goal, unlucky with …
Midfield musings, a new identity and tactical potential for Liverpool
With Liverpool cruising to a 3-0 win over Watford on Saturday evening, Jurgen Klopp maintained the 2 point deficit to Man City. Another clean sheet and a highly satisfying win, albeit with a dogged rather than spectacular performance.
There's a certain symmetry to our away results against Watford since Klopp took over from Brendan Rodgers. From the pitiful 3-0 reverse in his first season, to a thrilling 3-3 draw last season which pointed to our underlying defensive deficiencies. To then …
