Liverpool's Top 4 Aspirations Still Hinge on Newcastle and Manchester United Stumbling
In a remarkable late surge, Liverpool has secured European football for the upcoming 2023/24 season, and now finds themselves in contention for a coveted Top 4 finish. Jurgen Klopp's men recently clinched a resounding 3-0 victory against Leicester, confirming at least a spot...
It’s quite staggering that in a season where Liverpool have been largely woeful that they still have a chance to finish in the top four. The gap to Newcastle is now reduced to just six points and with a game in hand. There were plenty of ups and downs in a game that we...
Newcastle 0 - 2 Liverpool - Man of the Match
Â
Alisson Becker
Â
It is frustrating to have to award the man of the match to our keeper so often, but it is a pure indication of how utterly world class he is.

His decision making, rapid movement from his line, smothering of attackers, and clean handling are...
Newcastle 0 - 2 Liverpool - PL Player Ratings
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...
With the halfway point of the season now fully surpassed, Liverpool are now able to zero in on their immediate competition. At the season’s outset, everyone would have predicted another battle with Manchester City for the title, though much has changed since this campaigns inception. The likes of Manchester United and Tottenham were always...

Alisson Becker - 7.5
The nervy situations were inevitable, but this man dealt with such moments like the worlds greatest keeper should. The chances for Newcastle were limited, but everything was smothered by the giant Brazilian.
Joe Gomez - 8.5
Effort and tenacity in abundance. He was up and down the line constantly, and looks like...
Naby Keita
It’s amazing that he’s Liverpool’s third best midfielder this season, with such a brilliant term of form.
He kept things ticking today, was efficient in possession, and pressed whenever it was required. Such a balanced player, that simply has to play when Thiago does not.
The goal was critical, and he took it like...
Today Liverpool were the calmest ones in the room. Many fans will have been increasingly nervous as the seconds ticked by and the scoreline stayed at just 1-0, but despite a few misplaced passes, the Reds stayed as calm as you like, defended the space, and gave up nothing to see out the win....
Joe Gomez made his first start in the Premier League for 468 days in Liverpool’s 3-1 win over Norwich City. He was used as a right-back with Trent Alexander-Arnold being given a rare day off.Â
Some thought he did well, others really did not like him in the full-back role. I think how you viewed...
