King of Anfield: Salah Equals Gerrard’s 186-Goal Record

Mohamed Salah's determination to keep shattering records for Liverpool was evident as he reached three significant goalscoring milestones during his side's 1-0 triumph over Brentford.

Liverpool 1 – 0 Fulham – The Post-Mortem 

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...

Liverpool 4 Tottenham 3 – Player Ratings

Alisson Becker - 6.0 Our player of the season, he was always going to be vital to a positive result. Could do nothing for the opening goal, whilst making a key stop shortly thereafter. Was given little chance for the Son goal or the equalizer, but was able to make crucial moments count. Trent Alexander Arnold...

The Salah Free-Kick Conundrum – Stats Analysis

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: Salah’s Liverpool goalscoring feats aren’t appreciated enough

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...

Lessons Learned from Liverpool’s victory against Nottingham Forest

It wasn’t the prettiest by any means and the overriding feeling at the final whistle was a sense of relief more than anything else. If Liverpool fans don’t see a long throw-in again until next season it’ll be too soon, but as we’re at the business end a win was all that mattered. The...
