As ever, the performances and key moments are analysed and assessed but it’s fair to say that captain Jordan Henderson, Dejan Lovren and Naby Keita dominate the discussion about individual contributions, whilst VAR, the Reds’ attack and avoidable defensive frailties constitute the balance of the conversation.

Post Match RAW: IMPACT SUB

On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Karl Matchett give their immediate reactions to Liverpool’s victory over Fulham, which saw Jürgen Klopp’s charges go back to the summit of the Premier League for a couple of weeks while international football takes centre stage.

Post Match RAW: ABSOLUTE BANTER

On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi give their immediate reactions to Liverpool’s 4-2 win over Burnley at Anfield which kept the pressure on City by easing Jürgen Klopp’s men back within a point of the Mancunians. And what a banter narrative this match had! After the manager’s comments about the wind recently, it was blowing a gale at Anfield today. After City’s illegitimate goal yesterday, Andre Marriner allows a clearly illegal goal early today. And after many of us wincing at the inclusion of Adam Lallana, the midfielder put in the kind of display he hasn’t managed for a couple of years. Tremendous!

On the latest episode of RAW, Trev Downey, Hari Sethi and Dave Hendrick bring you their immediate reaction to the 0-0 at Goodison.

The lads look at the key moments of the match, while assessing the players’ contributions and they are all particularly critical of the way in which the manager organised his troops on the day, with the substitutions being a real bone of contention.
