Liverpool 1 - 2 Leeds - Premier League Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 5.0
Had to once again produced wonders, especially at 1-1. Was badly let down for Leeds' goal, and showed great character to keep his side in the first half. Was again busy with hands and feet in a rather frenetic second period. Maybe could have done better for the winning goal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 4.0
Was decisive in his delivery if not a touch nervous in defence through the opening stages. Looked dangerous in transition without much …
Liverpool v Leeds - The Premier League Preview
Saturday night will see two historical English sides collide, in what is certain to be an entertaining evening of football. I’ve just had a look at the TV listings (I don’t really watch TV), and if you’re looking to avoid the horrid choice of The Voice or Strictly Come Dancing, then a night under the Anfield lights might just be for you.
Both sides are currently way underperforming their pre-campaign expectations, with the reds sitting in 8th, as the Whites …
The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Another week, another poor Liverpool performance. How has this team fallen so far? From chasing an unprecedented quadruple to losing to the team who entered and ended the weekend bottom of the league. Liverpool lost four matches in all of last season. Four defeats in 63 games. This season couldn't be more different. In just 15 games this season they have already lost four games. In 11 Premier League games, they've now dropped points in seven of them. Last season …
Ajax 0 - 3 Liverpool - Champions League Player Ratings
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Started well, could do little but cover his angles as the ball struck the post in the opening moments, and looked steady enough through the opening stages. Was mostly untested as the reds took control through the second half.
Trent Alexander Arnold- 7.0
Back in as a starter, he looked unsure on the ball and tentative early on in his defensive work. Nearly created a big chance early on with a lazy inside ball. …
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Liverpool: What Went Wrong?
ah, where do we start. A rough night for the Reds in Nottingham.
The Goal
Another calamity of errors from Liverpool in the back. Gomez loses to Awoniyi in a terrible spot due to a brain lapse, and does the only reasonable thing left, take the yellow and gift Forest a deep free kick. The kick isn't taken particularly quickly, but Milner loses his man at the back post. Cook takes the clipped ball down, not pressured at all, surveys …
Nottingham Forest 1 - 0 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 8.0
The reds penalty saving hero in the week, and most consistently reliable shield against attacks this year. He was as critical with some smart saves early on, as Liverpool were slow out of the blocks. Made a tremendous save late on, and that’s not a good thing to be so reliant on his brilliance.
James Milner - 6.0
Back into the fray, after a rest in midweek. He had lots of running to do, …

Liverpool 1 - 0 Manchester City - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 9.0
Immense when needed, thoroughly dominated his box, and showed superb reactions to set Salah free. He’s been a rock this year,. The low one handed save wars critical and he showed why he’s the worlds best.
James Milner - 9.0
A brilliant performance, and one which was needed. He stood up to Foden and didn’t allow him space or time to play. Was always a willing …
Rangers 1 - 7 Liverpool - CL Player Ratings
Starting XI
Alisson Becker - 7.0
The reds most reliable performer this term. Could do little for the opening goal, with the scorer having a clean shot to take. Was rarely troubled for the remainder of the half. Had even less to do in the second period.
Joe Gomez - 7.0
A more solid fullback could be what was needed in this exact moment. Was defensively dominant from the start, winning his duals and showing his strength time after time. …
Which Liverpool Players Should Enter Into The Next Phase
It’s international week, and unless it’s a major summer competition, I rarely pay any attention to the results and performances. The games usually revolve around occasions of no consequence, uneven match ups, silly qualification games, and a raft of ever-changing line ups. I checked on Monday to see whether the international break was over, only to learn it hadn’t even started. Liverpool's premature halt in their season has meant a prolonged stop, and it feels longer than the entirety of …
Why Europe Can Offer A Much Needed Distraction
Six games in, and the Liverpool progress has been at best irregular. With a summer transfer window posing as many questions as answers, it has become a worried fanbase very quickly. When we lost to Man United, that was a low that was quickly reacted to. In the past week we have seen a disjointed display against Newcastle and then Everton, garnering four points. The only positive right now is that Manchester City dropped points, but it doesn’t mask how …
