Do Liverpool Have Another "Best in the World"?
This is the best Liverpool side of the Premier League era.
There seems such little controversy in that, yet five years ago, the Reds were in a mire, in freefall after another debilitating second place finish that saw their star striker depart. It was debilitating because there was no recovery, no tactical acumen, no leading light to catch them as they fell. It was during that time, in that season – 14/15 – where the discussion of Liverpool’s midfield woes …
Liverpool 3-1 Manchester City: Who Was Man of the Match?
What a win that is. Absolutely delightful to get another one over the cardigan-clad crybaby and put us a monstrous 9 points clear of City and 8 points clear at the top of the table. We were extraordinarily clinical when the chances and half-chances fell our way, while the Sky Blues couldn’t do enough to break us down more than once. All the talk will be about VAR as usual but pay no heed to that rubbish – every major …
Liverpool Return To Group E Summit With 2-1 Genk Win
Liverpool climbed to the top of the Group E table with a 2-1 win over Genk at Anfield.
Goals from Georginio Wijnaldum and Alex Oxlade Chamberlain sufficed for the Reds, despite the concession of a goal to Mbwana Samatta.
Having started the game in second place, Napoli's 1-1 draw with Salzburg in Italy means Jurgen Klopp's men will be top when they entertain Carlo Ancelotti's side on match day 5 on November 27th.
Electing to make wholesale changes -- six …
Liverpool 2-1 Genk - Player Ratings as Reds go top of Champions League group
It was not a vintage performance. It was far from a European night at Anfield that will be remembered for long. But, in the end, Liverpool got themselves a 2-1 win over Genk that put them top of Group E, and took a big step towards qualification for the Round of 16. Gini Wijnaldum's early goal was cancelled out by Mbwana Samatta's header just before half-time. But Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain stepped up to score the winner, and become the Reds' joint …
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 …
Late Goal Loving Liverpool Win It Late Again
Two late goals from Andy Robertson and Sadio Mane kept Liverpool's six point lead at the top of the Premier League table intact with a 2-1 win away to Aston Villa.
The table toppers had trailed to a Trezeguet goal, but once again rescued the deserved three points late on in a display of patience and resolute character.
From the outside, it was clear that the hosts would attempt to attack their illustrious guests and they had a chance almost …
Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur: Observations as Reds Keep Fortress Anfield in Tact
Liverpool absolutely battered Tottenham. Let nothing else take your attention away from that. From the moment the Reds kicked off after conceding an avoidable goal in the first minute of the game, their feet were headed straight for Tottenham throats, and in the end, all that pressure paid off in a 2-1 win to keep the six-point lead at the top of the Premier League.
Jordan Henderson equalised just after half-time, and Mo Salah capped the win with a penalty, …
Liverpool 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur: Who Was Man of the Match?
At least we’re all getting used to having to endure a nervy final 10 minutes now, right? No, me neither. It should never have had to be this way as we deserved to be out of sight with the amount of chances we created. Sadly, too many of our efforts were straight at their goalkeeper. Nevertheless, it was a very good win after going behind so early and keeps us 6 points clear at the top of the Premier League.

Player ratings as Liverpool sink Spurs
Mohamed Salah's swashbuckling spot-kick secured Liverpool's victory against Tottenham on Sunday, the Reds emerging as 2-1 victors despite going behind less than a minute thanks to Harry Kane's acute header.
Some enthralling football looked as if it would go unrewarded with Paulo Gazzaniga making a string of fine saves in the Spurs goal, before skipper Jordan Henderson broke the resistance early in the second-half.
Serge Aurier clipped Mane for a penalty with around 15 minutes to go, awarding Salah the …
