Stoke City 1 Liverpool 2: Player Ratings
A game of two halves if ever there was one. Good on Klopp and Liverpool that they decided there is a game to be played in the second half. On the balance of intent, one could say that Liverpool deserved to win the game. First away win for Liverpool in 2017. How important will this win be if we make Top 4?
This is how the Reds fared.
Simon Mignolet (8) - An outstanding performance from Mignolet. Was confident on …
Liverpool 2 Burnley 1: Player Ratings
Liverpool have tended to oscillate between the joyful highs and the gut-wrenching lows. Today was somewhere down the middle and it was a great sight to see. Liverpool did not just win, but they found a way to win when they were way below the normal standard. Three points have never felt sweeter.
Considering the direct nature of the game, I will be going direct on the match ratings piece.
Simon Mignolet (6) - Could not do much for the …
Leicester 3 Liverpool 1 - Player Ratings
Same old. Same old. If you're fighting relegation in the Premier League, call Liverpool. Three points are on offer for one and all. The Reds put in a dire performance at the King Power Stadium as the struggling champions ran out deserving 3-1 winners to reignite their campaign.
Liverpool was poor - unimaginative, lacklustre and as has been the norm recently, lacking in defensive organisation.
With that 16 day break, the Reds were expected to be rejuvenated and buzzing on …
Are the Kids All Right for Liverpool?
Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling. Six names that invoke differing opinions amongst Liverpool fans, but whatever their legacy, those six names are the only ones to have come through the youth academy system and successfully establish themselves as first team regulars during the Premier League era.
There have been others, such as Dominic Matteo, Martin Kelly and Jon Flanagan who have had spells in the first team, but never really established themselves …

Out of the title race in January.
Out of EFL Cup in January
Out of FA Cup in January.
This month needs to get binned.
This is how the Reds fared
Loris Karius (5) - Poor on the first goal. Needed to be more commanding and gather the ball when it was floated into the six-yard box. Made an excellent save late up when even the officials went to sleep. Caught in no man's land as Lucas saved his blushes.

Lucas Leiva: The Intangible Benefits of Liverpool's Most Experienced Player
I’m pleased it was Lucas.
For all the talk of Jurgen’s ambitious new shavers coming in to kick start the FA Cup campaign, it took the oldest head in red to beat his man at the near post and thunder in from close range. A goal from the other end of the Woodburn/Leeds scale. Old man comes in and saves the day rather than a new buck makes a good start for Liverpool. As a man of advanced years I …
Observations from Liverpool's draw against Plymouth Argyle
A disappointing 0-0 draw at home to Plymouth means the Reds have a tricky replay to contend with in amongst an already difficult month of January. It's something they could have done without but it's our own doing after not showing enough class to finish off the League Two outfit.
Liverpool were utterly dominant but did nothing with the ball. They didn't even trouble the Plymouth goalkeeper. It was a glorified defence vs attack training session and there's now a …
