Five Goals, One Red: Lessons Learned from Liverpool's Cup Victory
Well it was cold and wet at Anfield on this Wednesday night, but the reds in attendance were excited for this one as Arne Slot named four attackers in the starting line-up. They were treated to an evening of real entertainment too with five goals...
Nunez, Mac Allister, Salah and Gakpo on Target as Liverpool Smash Brentford
This was a game that had me slightly worried before kick-off, given the same fixture last season and horrid Liverpool performance which resulted in a one sided (and deserved) 3-1 defeat. The reds were battered and bullied that day and the scoreline could...

A late goal from substitute Diogo Jota saw Liverpool grind out an unspectacular 2-1 victory over West Ham United at Anfield.
After trailing 1-0 to a Pablo Fornals goal for the visitors, the hosts rallied and leveled through a Mohamed Salah penalty near the half time mark. Then, after a double change from manager Jurgen...
A lovely, routine(ish) win for the Reds to start your weekend off. Slightly annoying that everyone's favourite FIFA 12 left-back decided to blam one in with his weak foot before we'd played 10 minutes, but at least it gave Steve Bruce something other than his evening Mixed Grill to be happy about.
After that, Sadio...
