Lessons Learned in the Demolishing of Manchester United
What a time to be alive. No-one, whatever they actually claim could have predicted what was to come on a Sunday afternoon that left us with sore heads on a Monday morning. It’s great to be able to say it - Liverpool embarrassed, humiliated and annihilated Manchester United. Seven-Nil still sounds incredible to be able to say out loud and even more amazing when you think we’d only scored one when the referee blew for half-time. We look at the …

Mohamed Salah
This adaptation of our style is ever increasing the level of our elite assets, with our Egyptian King looking back to his deadliest best. 22 goals in an off season isn’t bad at the start of March, and you feel that he may now look make the Premier League pay for the disrespect.
His ability to drift inside at the right moments is in perfect tandem …

Alisson Becker - 9.0
Had such little work to do, with the reds ramping up as the game progressed. Was smart in possession and dealt with the couple of half chances that came his way. I’m rating him high, as it’s that kind of result.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 9.0
A very good game, that showed his instinct in the defensive third can be relied upon, whilst his playmaking was …
Lessons Learned versus Crystal Palace
A hangover, Real Madrid still playing on their minds etc etc. Whichever way you dress it up or whatever excuses could be made, this was a terrible game of football. Crystal Palace’s own struggles aside, it’s hard to believe this was a team who are supposed to be chasing champions league football and as per Klopp’s presser would do everything they could to get it. Another one in that technicolour kit to quickly forget for the reds and move on …

Alisson Becker - 6.0
The chance to redeem himself, after a tough Champions League week. He was solid enough, especially as his side seemed poised to gift the home side a big chance through the first half. Was largely a second half spectator, in a very uneventful game of football.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 5.0
Given licence to create from the outset, but some horrible indecision nearly gifted Palace an …
Lessons Learned against Real Madrid
A schooling, a hammering and absolute annihilation. Three comments I saw on social media afterwards, which are all completely true. What started to look like being another dream night at Anfield quickly disintegrated into an absolute nightmare for Liverpool as they were well beaten by an outstanding Real Madrid side. Even the most optimistic reds will struggle to believe there’s any chance at the Bernabau, whilst the focus will now quickly move to trying to salvage something from an awful …

Alisson Becker - 4.0
This game had all the makings of becoming the battle of two world class keepers. Despite a couple of good first half moments, Ali was unable to reach his usual levels on greatness within a very strange game. Some uncharacteristic mistakes can be forgiven, yet the goals conceded were tough. Am off night, one of the few.

Liverpool v Real Madrid - The CL Preview
And just like that, the Champions League returns. In this most peculiar of seasons, the Qatar World Cup has managed to cause multiple disruptions and irregular form across much of Europe. With that controversy ridden tournament now in the wind, hopefully we can now all zero in on some European football, with that classic theme tune always a welcome melody for our famous fanbase.
The final game of last season saw the Reds fall to the newly anointed 14 time …

Alisson Becker - 9.0
The monstrous keeper made some vital first half saves, one which was a brilliant one on one stop to keep the scores level. So quick off his line and really papered over some cracks within the reds shield. Was not overly busy in the second half as a sense of game management started creeping in. Late on he made a brilliant stop against Wilson, smothering a shot …

Alisson Becker – 7.0
The reds player of the season, and so important to Liverpool in all games. Had a quiet opening period, as the reds looked to take the play to their neighbours. Was strong under pressure as the reds doubled their lead.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 8.0
Thrown into the mix once more, with an ambition to play him into form. He looked lively and aggressive in the final third …
