Liverpool's Transfer Window: A Summer of Surprises and Speculations
Liverpool's summer transfer window is drawing to a close, but the Reds are far from done. With just 10 days left, fans and pundits alike are eagerly awaiting Jürgen Klopp's next move. As Neil Jones aptly put it, "Pretty much anything can happen." This summer has been a rollercoaster of unexpected transfers, both in and out of Anfield.
"Gravenberch, it is known, would be open to leaving Bayern if possible, but …
Tony Evans: Monday's Merseyside Derby is a Watershed Moment for Liverpool
Looking back, it struck me that very few of my favourite derby memories took place at Anfield. Most were at other grounds – Wembley, Maine Road and Goodison.
The standout games across the park were the 3-2 in 1985, when the teams were arguably the two best sides in Europe, and the 5-0 in 1982. Gary McAllister’s winner in 2001’s 3-2 victory was truly remarkable.
More recently, the Sadio Mane late, late winner was a brilliant moment. The Street End’s …
Observations: Siege Warfare
Divock Origi absolutely loves playing Everton. I'm sure you'll hear that in every article about this game, but it's worth saying anyway. There is no-one better at coming up with the goods at the perfect moment, in the hour of direst need. It seems very likely that Origi will be leaving Liverpool at the end of this season, but if that is to be the case, what a way to say goodbye. Liverpool beat Everton by 2 goals to 0 …
Liverpool 2 - 0 Everton - The Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7.5
As solid as he needed to be, without much to actually do. Nice antics at the end, and never really looked overly fazed by the odd Everton half chance.
Trent Alexander-Arnold 6.5
Seemed run by emotion, and caught in too many half spaces that allowed the Ev that odd break. Was tough and problematic to break them down, and he looked rushed and angry when control was needed. He’s still 23 and world class, and these …
Injuries aside, Liverpool's lack of fight and mentality is inexcusable
Just when you thought you'd pretty much seen it all this season, the unthinkable happens.
Everton's first win at Anfield since 1999, combined with a hammer blow of an injury to Jordan Henderson and what was, at best, an abject performance saw Liverpool's season plummet to a new low.
This was a fourth straight defeat at Anfield after going almost 70 games at home without losing, and was another game in which the Reds failed to score or muster a …
Laboured Liverpool Fall To Anfield Defeat To Everton
Liverpool fell to their first Anfield Merseyside derby league defeat to Everton since 1999 after a 2-0 reversal against their neighbours. The loss means the defending champions have now lost four home league games on the spin.
Goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurðsson condemned the Reds to defeat after an insipid, lifeless performance from the hosts. Injuries and VAR controversy -- the two banes of Liverpool's season -- reared their ugly heads again with Jordan Henderson being forced off with …
Liverpool Robbed By VAR In Goodison Derby
VAR controversy abounded as Liverpool were robbed of a late 3-2 victory over Everton at Goodison Park.
With the game squared at 2-2 going into injury time, a perfectly good Jordan Henderson goal -- supposedly because Sadio Mané was offside, an assertion that had no evidence in tv pictures -- was disallowed and Everton hung on for a scantly deserved point.
The Reds, whose performance was -- in the large part -- was excellent recovered well from their debacle at …
