Two games within 48 hours was always going to be a mighty ask, and at the end the exertions showed as Liverpool dropped two points on the road at Sunderland.
This is how the Reds fared.
Simon Mignolet (6.5) - Had a busier first-half than he would have liked. Made a couple of big saves, especially...
Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Manchester City was a big step in their title bid, confirming the progress they have made this season.
Simon Mignolet - 7
Did well when called upon and kept Liverpool ticking with his distribution. Not much to complain about since he took up the reigns from Karius.
Nathaniel Clyne - 7
Clyne is perhaps one...
With another trip around the sun completed and the festive period behind us (by the time you read this), let’s look at the Red year and see exactly what we have and haven’t learned.
January
A brand new year lay ahead. A time for renewal and rejuvenation. A chance to draw a line under everything and...
Liverpool's New Year's Eve tie against Manchester City has already been noted as a "6-point" match, and with Chelsea already sitting atop the table, with a 6 point gap between them and nearest rivals, Liverpool, which will likely remain when considering Chelsea's upcoming fixtures, this fixture has the potential to go a long way...

Inconsistent form interspersed with...
Liverpool close a record breaking year out with a mouthwatering clash against Manchester City on New Year's Eve, one which could go a long way to decide who gives Chelsea the biggest challenge at the top of the Premier League table.
Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, previous rivals in the Bundesliga, will meet each other...
It’s not a sentence Liverpool fans would have expected to hear this season for various reasons but they did after that emphatic 4-1 win against Stoke. The majority of this squad are the same players labelled as bottlers over the past two seasons but with the pressure on they showed an almost alien resilience....
Is there a reason to buy players in January? Isn’t it better to show your true believe in your own squad and the players you have right now and wait until the summer, when there is more time for everything?
I believe that any sort of signing helps in a certain way, even if it’s...
It's cliche I know but a year in football is a long time. If you compared December 2015 and December 2016 they're almost unrecognisable.
After the Boxing Day fixtures in 2015 Liverpool were in 8th position with 27 points and a -1 goal difference. Watford and Crystal Palace where both ahead of the Reds and Everton...
