After rating the defence, now it's time for midfield and attack.
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - Average Post-match Rating 6.63, Writers' Season Rating 7.5
The Ox had a slow start to his Liverpool career, appearing mainly as a substitute in the begging of the season. He grew to be our best midfielder as the season progressed before being...
The Premier League season is over. Man City dominated the season like no club has done in recent (and not so recent) times. For Liverpool, the campaign was relatively successful with the team managing to qualify for the Champions League for the second straight time - something that hasn't happened since a certain Spaniard...
ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ,
ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZZZZZZZ.
I was on press duty for another site I write for (sinning) so this gives me a chance to express some joy I had to hold back sitting around a bunch of journalists and City fans.
Not seen a replay of anything so if my Dejan Lovren praise is a bit...
"Need someone to do the post-match player ratings" was the request from AI's supremo Gags Tandon. "Great!", I thought; after wallopping City, Liverpool look like they can trounce any team in the world right now, and this will be my chance to dish 10 ratings all round for perhaps the greatest derby mauling of...
That was unbelievable. Far and away Liverpool’s best display under Klopp. We’ve attacked better, yet scored three. There hasn’t been a better defensive display under the German.
One foot into the semi-finals, surely? Score one at their place and they have to score five. Not rocket science is it, lads?
Anyway, here’s me on player ratings...
Palace away, I don't think I'll ever be able to enjoy it. Six goals and two wins in the last couple of trips there, but have either been fun?
Credit to Palace, their main strength is that they don't make it fun for their opponents. Able to soak up the pressure and then race forward...
There was something so routine and yet so unbelievable about that. For a player who scores so frequently, it's mad that it's Mo Salah's first hat-trick. Even crazier that he decided to score four, not three.
Liverpool 5-0 Watford - into the home-stretch of the season with a win.
Andy Robertson's gang of beautiful lads
Loris Karius...
Liverpool were so 'un-Liverpool' like in attack, and so 'Liverpool' in their defence as they slumped to defeat at Old Trafford. The second half was a better performance and the ref was a nutcase, but that does not take away a shambolic defensive performance in first half.
Loris Karius (5) -Â Left high and dry for...
Job done, professional work, blah blah blah. That was a little boring, wasn't it?
Liverpool (5) 0-0 (0) Porto. Onto Old Trafford and into the quarter-finals.
Another clean sheet for Big Loris
Loris Karius (7):Â Keeps clean sheets, looks cool. And now he's done the simple stuff in a simple manner! Lively off his line in the first...
It was a tough opening half to the game as Newcastle defended in an organized manner, but once Salah put Liverpool ahead, there was always going to be only one winner.
This is how the Reds fared.
Loris Karius (8) -Â Was a spectator for most of the match, but when called upon, made a world-class save...
