Liverpool 1 - 0 Brentford - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Had a first half scare with the disallowed goal and a few aerial balls that needed catching, but was comfortable for much of the opening exchanges. Once again, the second half needed him to be assured with his handling, as Brentford refused to...
This was the return fixture after the Reds drew 2-2 on the opening day of the season. That game at Craven Cottage appeared to open the eyes of all our enemies that our lack of physicality and tired bodies were there to be gotten at. As we approach the end of our rather dismal...
Why everyone hates Liverpool part 1: We’re going to boo the anthem.
How stupid do the Premier League have to be to “strongly suggest” that clubs play God Save The King? They put the ball in the club’s court and there’s no way Liverpool can back out of it when every other fixture this weekend...
Well it wasn’t the prettiest but a win and a clean sheet shouldn’t be scoffed at. Liverpool have now won five league games on the bounce and their longest unbeaten run (seven games) since the end of last season. Another game with the new system, familiar faces shining and all with rotation in the...
Liverpool 1 - 0 Fulham - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker – 8.0
Had to make an early save as Fulham started brightly, yet much of the first half was about receiving and recycling possession. Had little to do through much of the second period as control seemed more important to Liverpool. Needed to stay strong...
The rarer something is, the more valuable it becomes. It’s simple supply and demand, as any student of GSCE Economics – I got an A, #humblebrag – can tell you. A copy of Northern Soul belter ‘Do I Love You (Indeed I Do)’ by Frank Wilson once sold for over £100,000 as there are...
Virgil van Dijk believes Liverpool attacker Mohamed Salah doesn’t get the wider credit his record-breaking exploits deserve.
The Egyptian moved level with Robbie Fowler, joint sixth on the club’s all-time list of scorers with 183 goals, when he turned home what proved to be the winner in Saturday’s 3-2 victory over Nottingham Forest.
Salah has reached...
Liverpool hasn’t had the easiest time in the last few years. The talented base that Jürgen Klopp built has begun to show their age and the team has been augmented with very young players. The team now has an uneven balance between the experienced and the rookies.
That doesn’t mean that Liverpool has lost any...
Alisson Becker - 7.0
Shook off whatever issues he had before the weekend, in order to resume his duties in goal. Had to make some smart saves through the opening period as Leeds were able to break away too often. He could do little to stop Leeds's early second-half goal, as Ibou allowed a free...
It’s hard to know which of the two things was more surprising in all truth. The fact Liverpool got another penalty this season or Mo Salah missing a second consecutive one. He should also have had another late on after Gabriel’s common assault, but the less we say about the officiating in this game...
