Liverpool drop points on back to back weekends as defensive issues cost the home side the spoils! Here are my ratings for today’s game. Loris Karius (6): Early punch away from a corner and then solid save from Antonio, but he’s got to do better with Payet’s free-kick, despite it curling away from him. Fantastic punch […]
A mere few weeks ago Liverpool were well and truly flying, yet a flurry of injuries, including one to Phillipe Coutinho, suddenly dampened the mood around Anfield, and the recent humiliating defeat to Bournemouth only sought to worsen the atmosphere surrounding Liverpool FC. But with the January transfer window approaching, and with Mané soon to […]

Liverpool fell to their second defeat of the season as a second-half capitulation at Dean Court saw Bournemouth take the three points with a 4-3 victory. Sadio Mane and Divock Origi gave Liverpool a 2-0 lead before Callum Wilson’s penalty gave the Cherries hope. Emre Can restored the Reds’ two-goal lead, but Ryan Fraser, Steve […]
On a night when Leeds United and Garry Monk did their growing reputation no harm, Liverpool booked a spot in the semi-final with a 2-0 win. Divock Origi opened the scoring, poking in a stunning cross from Trent Alexander-Arnold, but the story of the night is undoubtedly Ben Woodburn becoming the club’s youngest ever goalscorer, […]
The match at Anfield against Sunderland took on extra significance given the run of form enjoyed by Chelsea under Antonio Conte. Whilst it is remiss to place too much importance on a single result at this stage of the season there is still a danger in allowing your opponent to open up too much of […]
Last January Liverpool were linked with a £6.6 million move for RB Leipzig attacker Emil Forsberg. It was an underwhelming link for fans who had expected Jurgen Klopp to bring in big name reinforcements and not players plying their trade in the Bundesliga 2 – the German equivalent of the Championship. As expected it was […]
The Reds weren’t rampant. The floodgates didn’t open like many had expected them to prior to kick-off.. Klopp’s men didn’t dismantle yet another side at Anfield. Instead, it was tense and a little uncomfortable as Sunderland threatened to frustrate the home side. They held out for 75 minutes but in the end Liverpool came away with […]
Liverpool overcame a battle of attrition and perseverance once again, the key difference being that Liverpool were rewarded for their efforts as the hosts came away with the three points and yet another clean-sheet. The celebration over the victory is sure to be tempered by the serious looking injury for Coutinho. This is how the […]
Saido Mane signed for Liverpool over five months ago in a £34 million deal from last Saturday’s opponents Southampton. The Senegalese international has played in eleven of the Reds’ twelve league games so far, interestingly the one game that he didn’t appear in was the one game we have lost this season – the away […]
