Sabitzer The Latest Bull to be Liverpool Red
Over the last year or so, Liverpool have had an exceptional record in tying down their key players to new deals.
Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Sadio Mane -- among others -- have all penned new contracts to see them remain at Anfield for the foreseeable future.
Absent from that list of renewals, however -- despite being just as key a cog to the Reds' winning machine as the aforementioned striking trio -- has been Dutch midfielder Georginio Wijnaldum.
Since …
Mohamed Salah or Luis Suarez?
Only Alan Shearer has scored more goals than Mohamed Salah in 100 Premier League appearances for a single club. The Liverpool forward has 70 goals for the Reds in 100 games. A remarkable return given he's a wide forward. He's managed to eclipse the likes of Ruud Van Nistelrooy, Thierry Henry, Sergio Aguero and Fernandes Torres. And yet people still underrate the Liverpool No.11 and overlook what he's doing for Jurgen Klopp's side.
Since the inception of the Premier League, …
How Would Luis Suarez Fit Into This Liverpool FC Side?
While it’s practically impossible to improve on the kind of perfection that this Liverpool team has embodied over the last two years...it’s always fun to fantasise, isn’t it?
So with that being said, here’s a Liverpool legend that might just fit into the greatest LFC side of our generation
Liverpool's electric front three of Sadio Mane, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino have cut a swathe through both English and European football over the past three seasons. In this time frame, …
Liverpool 2-3 Atletico Madrid: Player ratings as Reds fall in Europe
It has taken until Jurgen Klopp's fourth European campaign, but Liverpool have finally been beaten in a two-legged tie.
Roberto Firmino looked to have completed an arduous comeback when he struck in the early stages of extra time, but Adrian proceeded to hand the visitors a vital away goal, and the dejected Reds would ship two more to fall to defeat on the night and surrender their title.
Let's take a look at how the players rated.
Adrian - 1/10

Luckless Liverpool Lament Lacklustre Keeping
Champions Liverpool bowed out of the Champions after a 3-2 after extra defeat to Atletico Madrid at Anfield.
Georginio Wijnaldum's goal in normal time saw the Reds win 1-0 in normal time but, despite Firmino's goal doubling their lead in extra time, two howlers from stand in keeper Adrian allowed replacements Marcos Llorente(2) and Alvaro Morata score to send the blessed Spaniards through, who had their goalkeeper Jan Oblak to thank.
A rip roaring start from the Reds was considered …
Chelsea 2-0 Liverpool: Player Ratings
Liverpool get knocked out in the Fifth Round of the FA Cup by Chelsea after a 2-0 loss at Stamford Bridge. Another really poor and disappointing performance from the Reds as they fall to their third defeat in four games, in three different competitions.
Adrian - 5
You can’t make mistakes like the one he made for the Willian goal, but made a couple of very good stops as well.
Neco Williams - 5
Started brightly and delivered a couple …
Would Timo Werner be a Tactical Fit for Liverpool?
Timo Werner is having quite the season.
Well, that’s understating it profoundly. He’s actually made the Bundesliga his personal marksman range, scoring all sorts of goals – from volleys to tap-ins to his signature cut in and emphatic thwack.
It’s that last one, the stylistic replica of Arjen Robben’s masterful trademark (but from the other flank) that has been most tactically interesting this season. Werner is nominally a striker, but under Julien Nagelsmann, has become so much more than that.

Watford 3-0 Liverpool: Who was the Disaster of the Match?
Our unbeaten run in the league is over. The Reds go down 3-0 away to Watford after, without question, one of the worst performances in years. Liverpool failed to create a single decent chance in the entire 90 minutes and thoroughly deserved to be soundly beaten by the relegation-threatened Hornets.
In the net, Alisson can’t really be blamed for any of the goals. A tap in for Sarr’s first, a smart dink for his second and just an absolute calamity …
Watford 3-0 Liverpool - Grim Player Ratings as Reds' Invincible Dream ends at Vicarage Road
The unbeaten run is over. 28 games into the season, Liverpool have lost a game. Watford beat the Reds 3-0 with a vibrant display of counter-attacking football that left Jurgen Klopp's side shellshocked. Ismaila Sarr scored twice and assisted another for Troy Deeney as an awful Liverpool performance got the result that it deserved.
Here's how each Liverpool player fared.
Spoiler Alert: This is not going to be pretty
Alisson Becker - 4/10
Was twitchy in the first half, when …
Lame and Lethargic Liverpool Limp To First League Loss
Liverpool fell to their first League defeat since January 3 2018 after they were drubbed 3-0 away to Watford.
A brace from Ismailia Sarr and a Troy Deeney strike condemned the at times hapless Reds to not only a defeat but also scuppered their chances of breaking an English league record with a 19th consecutive league victory.
With the wind buffeting around, build up play was rendered difficult for the reds, whose approach play was built on short passes.
But …
