Liverpool 1-1 Manchester City - Observations as City nick Community Shield
It was the stereotypical game of two halves at Wembley Stadium, as Liverpool came out second best after a penalty shootout, that saw 9 out of 10 penalties hit the back of the net. Unfortunately, Gini Wijnaldum was the unlucky one, and the Reds had to be content with what you could possibly call a moral victory, but I'm sure Jurgen Klopp and the players would've rather had the silverware to show for it.
City took the lead after questionable …
Player Ratings as Liverpool Lose Community Shield on Penalties
Liverpool concluded their pre-season preparations with a penalty shootout defeat to reigning Premier League champions Manchester City in the Community Shield. After a poor first-half performance, the Reds looked by far the better team in the second and probably deserved to come away with the “trophy”. Liverpool fans should be optimistic about the season ahead after this one with many players yet to hit full fitness and Sadio Mane still to return.

HAPPY PADDY’S DAY TROOPS. UP THE REDS.
Alisson (6): I don’t know. Who do you blame? Liverpool won though soooo... arsed?
Trent Arnold (6): His crossing is either the best in the league or the worst in the league and I’m completely on board with that until he’s 25. Can’t be dropped for the remaining league games.
Joel Matip (6): He’s doing an absolute 7/10 job and the moment and that’s reflected by getting at least 6/10 every week. Wish …
Player Ratings as Reds ride Molineux challenge
Another obstacle overcome, this time in the form of a side that have taken points from Chelsea and Manchester City this season.
Brilliant from Mo to open the scoring, with Van Dijk finally popping in a league goal to seal another vital three points. 4 points up for a few hours at least...

Another clean sheet yawn
Alisson (6): A couple of sloppy moments but nothing else that had me worried, made some tidy saves and deserved his clean …
Watford 0-3 Liverpool - Player Ratings as Reds see off plucky Hornets
Liverpool huffed and puffed in the first half, but they eventually beat Watford 3-0 at Vicarage Road to start off a big week in the most ideal way they could.
Mo Salah opened the scoring in the 67th minute, and that opened the floodgates. A stunning free-kick from Trent Alexander-Arnold doubled the Reds' lead, before captain Jordan Henderson was sent off for receiving a second yellow card. That didn't matter in the end, as Roberto Firmino finished off the game …
Player Ratings as Reds are rumbled by Hazard
There’s a point at 1-0 where Sarri sends on Eden Hazard because Chelsea are losing and they’re not finishing above Liverpool in the league anyway.
Klopp doesn’t send Salah on because Liverpool are winning and they might finish above Manchester City.
One amazing goal later and we’re all moody, get a win on Saturday and it’ll all be forgotten.
Here are your ratings.

Liverpool 3-2 PSG: Player Ratings as Bobby dazzles Anfield late
Liverpool made Anfield fret, but Liverpool had more late European drama at Anfield, as an injury time winner from Roberto Firmino gave the Reds a 3-2 win over Paris St. Germain and a winning start to their Champions League campaign.
Daniel Sturridge's header and James Milner's penalty put the Reds on course, but Thomas Meunier pulled one back for the French champions before half-time. Kylian Mbappe looked to have recovered a point for PSG when he scored in the 83rd …
Liverpool Player Ratings From Cherries Crushing
Three points closer to more night's like that one against Manchester City, is how I'm viewing it.
An afternoon that will be quickly forgotten but one that Liverpool need more of, as they beat Bournemouth 3-0. A day for the goal charts as Firmino gets his 25th of the season, overshadowed somewhat by Salah's 40th.
Not a bad time to be a Red.

Player ratings as Liverpool hold off the Foxes
YESSSSSSSS! A 2-1 victory against Leicester City on December 30th isn't one that's going to go down in the record books, but at this moment in time, it feels like a big one.
The Reds went behind to Jamie Vardy's goal but came back strongly in the second-half. That man Mohamed Salah provided a beautiful brace to secure three points and set us up perfectly for a big top-seven clash against Burnley on New Year's Day!

Liverpool 1 Tottenham 1: Player Ratings
A slow, error filled first-half was followed by an entertaining second-half as both teams fought hard and ultimately walked away with the share of the spoils.
Let's see how the Reds fared tonight..
Simon Mignolet (6.5) - A relatively safe first-half for Mignolet, but for the usual indecisiveness which put the team in bother on at least one occasion. Made a very good save early in the first-half. Made a couple of really good saves in the second-half to cap …
