Liverpool 2-1 West Ham: Who Was Man of the Match?
Liverpool moved to the top of the Premier with a hard-fought 2-1 win over West Ham United at Anfield. The Reds went a goal down early on but once again showed an incredible mentality to battle on and steal all three points. We weren’t at our best but the result is the most important thing, especially in this horrifically congested, soulless season.
In goal, Alisson had very little to do and didn’t have much of a chance for the West …
Jota Fires Limp Liverpool To Hammers Victory
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 Klopp, Jota -- after an assist from fellow substitute Xherdan Shaqiri -- cooly fired home the winner. It was an insipid showing, but, as ever, …
Impressive Liverpool Put Gunners To The Sword

From the outset, it was clear that Arsenal’s playbook would mirror the one they employed last season and in the …

DEFENCE:
Trent Alexander-Arnold - 7
Had very little …
Brilliant Liverpool Batter Bournemouth

Aston Villa 1-2 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match?
I’ll be honest with you all – I turned my Chinese stream off a couple of minutes before Robertson’s equaliser. I didn’t think it was worth the constant flicking between grainy, lag-ridden pictures just to see us lose. How wrong I was. This team just never gives up and despite Jon Moss and Martin Atkinson’s best efforts, the Reds find a way to dig out yet another win. It wasn’t the best of performances, but let’s have a look at …
Player Ratings as the Mentality Monsters do it again
Fuckin' hell, what a team. Another one pulled out of our arses, at the death, as it looked like everything was going against us.
As far as I'm concerned, Martin Atkinson is the worst referee in the world and Klopp needs to start getting into the media's ear, Fergie style, regarding him.
Firmino should have a goal, we should probably have a penalty, it didn't need to be that hard. Fair play to Kloppo, ballsy as anything to take Salah …
