March: Simply Massive
The business end of the season. It always comes down to two simple factors as we know. Who can deal with the pressure the best and quite simply ... results. People will rightly talk about momentum, but how your team gets the points is irrelevant as long as they do. Liverpool fans have witnessed more false starts than down the road at Aintree this season, but if they do want to salvage something from the wreckage of this campaign there’s …

Which Liverpool Players Should Make Way for The Regeneration?
The worse this Liverpool team gets, the more likely there will be wholesale changes within the club. I don’t think the manager is a certainty to start next season in our dugout, but there are many players I would rather see leave before our illustrious German coach. Klopp has recently dismissed the notion of being too loyal, so time will only tell whether he will have the conviction, to pull the trigger on certain individuals within his playing squad. His …

Alisson Becker - 6.0
The chance to redeem himself, after a tough Champions League week. He was solid enough, especially as his side seemed poised to gift the home side a big chance through the first half. Was largely a second half spectator, in a very uneventful game of football.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 5.0
Given licence to create from the outset, but some horrible indecision nearly gifted Palace an …

Virgil van Dijk
A very unspectacular game from the giant Dutchman, yet his role was more about offering coverage and control, as the surrounding cast struggled to carry out their duties.
Was vocal and largely untroubled, as Palace looked to target Matip & Trent. He was assured on the ball throughout, as the defensive leader that allowed the reds to try and condense the pitch.

Tony Evans Column: Buckle Up! Beat Newcastle & Madrid to Avoid a Total Bust
The performance against Everton felt like a throwback to a golden age. Last season. Things change that quickly.
Granted, the Blues were really poor. We expected the Dogs of War. Instead we got yard-dogs with distemper.
Still, there are grounds for optimism after the derby. The pace of the front three for the opening strike was electrifying. Cody Gakpo needed his goal and you could see the confidence flowing through him. The return of Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino as …

Tony Evans: Monday's Merseyside Derby is a Watershed Moment for Liverpool
Looking back, it struck me that very few of my favourite derby memories took place at Anfield. Most were at other grounds – Wembley, Maine Road and Goodison.
The standout games across the park were the 3-2 in 1985, when the teams were arguably the two best sides in Europe, and the 5-0 in 1982. Gary McAllister’s winner in 2001’s 3-2 victory was truly remarkable.
More recently, the Sadio Mane late, late winner was a brilliant moment. The Street End’s …

Thiago a shining light and continued key man for Liverpool
Even when Liverpool are producing one of their ugliest and most disappointing seasons in recent memory, Thiago still manages to be beautiful.
In a campaign littered with both team and individual deficiencies, the Spaniard continues to shine and do his best to alter the Reds' fortunes.
There are some who may lazily look at Thiago and claim that he is part of the problem, just as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson now undoubtedly are, but this couldn't be further from the …

Tony Evans: It's Time For Mo Salah to Shine
There is no doubt that Mo Salah is a Liverpool great. He has been the cutting edge of the Jurgen Klopp era. Unfortunately, he’s dropped down a gear just at the moment and he needs to step up another level.
We’ve come to expect more than seven goals in half a Premier League season. He’s going to have to double that output in the next 19 games to make qualification for next year’s Champions League a possibility.
But first it’s …

Ibrahima Konate
Ibou is every inch the Virgil successor, and his 6ft 4 inch frame continues to defy his tender years.
With a continual blockade representing his defensive style, his physical approach is giving strikers little room to excel.
A good relationship is brewing with himself and Joe Gomez, and the pair have an understanding that is making the back line less easy to get beyond.
His signing …
