I wrote after Liverpool won comfortably at the Allianz Arena that the fact that nobody considered an impressive away win, and one of Liverpool’s most accomplished away European performances in years, arguably their best in a decade, as a big deal just demonstrates how far this Liverpool side has come.
And here we are, another...
A scuffed volley that lands perfectly on a Cardiff boot, caromed up to the top shelf where Grandma hides last year’s Easter Peeps. In season’s past, this would have been the ender, the heartbreak moment we all fear but deep down, somehow expect. But, this is Alisson Becker and he doesn’t have time for...
When drama unfolds on a Champions League night when Liverpool are playing, it has become the norm to expect it to revolve around what the Reds are up to.
Their penchant for producing unforgettable evenings in Europe's premier club competition has been on show for five decades, from Saint-Etienne to Istanbul, right the way through...
Liverpool travel to Cardiff off the back of a frenetic 4-1 win against Porto in the Champions League. It’s a tricky away tie off the back of a tricky European away tie, and Cardiff will have their tails up after a terrific 2-0 win over Brighton in mid-week. Nevertheless, there’s a real sense of...
I’ve got to be honest. After the Everton draw I was devastated.
It wasn’t so much that there weren’t enough games left to continue our title bid. It wasn’t the fact we lacked the quality in the squad.

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 either...
On a night where the eyes of many Reds fans understandably drifted onto the remarkable events at the Etihad Stadium, proceedings at the Estadio do Dragao were rather predictable.
Porto, buoyed by their fervent support, flew out of the blocks and made the Reds sweat with a mass of half-chances. But once Jurgen Klopp's side...
Liverpool took Porto apart in the second half to ensure safe passage to the Champions League semi-final where Barcelona await, despite a nervy first 25 minutes in Portugal. But what were the key stats from a thumping 4-1 away win, securing a 6-1 aggregate victory?

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.
