Liverpool's habit of fashioning European theatre very nearly proved their undoing as a first-half performance full of swagger gave way to a nightmarish spell after the break. In little over 20 match minutes, the Reds surrendered a three-goal advantage they had so sublimely built, leaving stunned supporters fearing the worst. But soon the cogs of the...

The European Champions have their title defence up and running again. Liverpool bounced back from their 2-0 defeat in Naples, with a 4-3 win over RB Salzburg at Anfield in what was a crazy game typified by an energetic Salzburg side who attacked with verve, and an uncharacteristically sloppy Liverpool side.

Liverpool's Sadio Mané says he has no intention of changing his 'new' goal celebration despite the fact he stole it from teammate Roberto Firmino! Speaking to Complex, Mané claimed that Firmino's copyright on the celebration could not still stand as the Brazilian has moved on, using many varied celebrations since. “Each player in this squad, if...

People will have you believe that Liverpool find themselves in a tricky situation in the transfer market. With Sadio Mane, Roberto Firmino and Mohamed Salah all guaranteed starters for the Reds, finding adequate back-ups for the trio is a task.
