Liverpool 4-1 Norwich City - Observations as Alisson Injury Taints Opening Day Reds Romp
Liverpool kicked off the new Premier League season with a comfortable 4-1 romp over Norwich City at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp's men were put under pressure by a spirited Norwich side, but were also helped by a more-than-leaky Canaries defence, who shipped four goals even before half-time.
Grant Hanley diverted a Divock Origi cross into his own net, Mo Salah scored one and then put a corner on Virgil van Dijk's head, before Origi easily headed a Trent Alexander-Arnold cross into …
Liverpool's Most Recent Successes

Their most recent title was the 2019 Champions League after they had one of the best seasons in their history. This title is featured as one of the most memorable moments, and we will give a better insight later …
Time to forget the transfer window | The real stuff starts now
Last season was a slog. It was a wonderful, beautiful slog, but it was a slog. With Manchester City so unrelenting, Liverpool had to be at peak form to get close to their final goal of the league title, and even then, we fell - even if just slightly - short. A Champions League winners medal and more incredible memories left fans with a delicious taste in the mouth, but if you’re like me, you were ready for a break. …
Big Club Survey: How Liverpool fared against their Premier League rivals
The debate over which club is the biggest in the Premier League has rumbled on for many years and it is one that is unlikely to end any time soon.
However, a survey of over 3,500 football fans has attempted to find out what they think constitutes a big club and Liverpool supporters are unlikely to be happy with the outcome!
The survey, conducted by Betway, established 10 different criteria to determine the size of a club, with fans asked …
National Anthem Booed by Liverpool Supporters - Here's Why
In the aftermath of the Community Shield, which saw Manchester City beat Liverpool on penalties after a 1-1 draw, the main talking point is not the match itself, but the events before kick-off.
As the players lined up facing the royal box, in front of Prince William, it was announced that the national anthem would be played. What followed really was a sight and sound to behold. The Liverpool end erupted into boos and whistles which carried on throughout the …
The lack of full back cover at Liverpool is an uncalculated risk
Liverpool Football Club currently has quite possibly the best full-back pair in the world. Last season was record-breaking for both Trent-Alexander Arnold and Andrew Robertson. Shattering the assists records, while covering the flanks of the best defence in the league. Oh, and they also won the European Cup in one of the most memorable campaigns in recent history. It doesn't get better than that. We are a week away from the first league game of 2019/2020 and to the surprise …
Key stats as Liverpool narrowly miss out on Community Shield
A combination of wastefulness and outright misfortune denied Liverpool the early boost of Community Shield success, but still, they could take heart from their impressive performance against their biggest title rivals. Here are the key stats from the season's curtain-raiser:
Liverpool the better side
City edged the first-half but Liverpool controlled the second, and ultimately the numbers suggest they were slightly lucky to claim the silverware.
The Reds enjoyed more possession (53%-47%) and played more passes (555-496) than their opponents …
Shaqiri To Add Midfield Attacking Thrust
The team Jurgen Klopp named to face Lyon in Geneva on Wednesday evening was interesting for a number of reasons.
Not only were Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Alisson Becker given also starts much quicker than anticipated following their return to pre-season from their extended, post-international tournament breaks, but the midfield selection and composition was also a talking point.
Klopp elected to select Adam Lallana as the deepest midfielder, a role he has been learning on the fly this summer, …
Trademark Liverpool
I don’t know what the big problem is.
“We are Liverpool, tra la la la la,” easily changes to, “We are Liverpool, all rights reserved, we’re the best football team in the land.”
Adam Lallana won’t have much to do this season. Imagine the pride he would take in slapping TM’s on every road sign leading into the city.
Yes, it’s been a while since we’ve had an off-pitch controversy, and when I say, a while, I mean several days.

Liverpool 3 Lyon 1 | Reds back to winning ways before City test
Liverpool concluded their pre-season programme with a 3-1 victory over Lyon in Geneva.
Goals from Roberto Firmino, a Joachim Andersen own goal and Harry Wilson gave the Reds their first victory in four pre-season games after they had fallen behind to an early Memphis Depay penalty.
Jurgen Klopp surprised many with the experimental nature of line up, with Adam Lallana deepest of a midfield three with Naby Keita and Xherdan Shaqiri.
Mohamed Salah, Alisson Becker and Firmino also started, just …
