Premier League week 29 round-up: Patience pays off as Liverpool climb to second

5th March 2018

It wasn’t the rip-roaring, free-scoring Liverpool to which we have become accustomed, but Saturday evening’s 2-0 win over Newcastle was no less satisfying. The Reds had to be patient against opponents who have a habit of making it difficult for the league’s top sides, but the breakthrough eventually came four minutes before half-time and again […]

Premier League week 27 round-up: Liverpool pass 100-goal mark for the season in West Ham drubbing

26th February 2018

A second 4-1 victory over West Ham this season on Saturday bolstered Liverpool’s top four ambitions with 11 games of the season to go. Both teams hit the woodwork in the opening minutes, Loris Karius doing brilliantly to tip Marko Arnautovic’s effort onto the bar, before Emre Can headed to the net from close range […]

FA Cup Round 5 round-up: Spurs held but other big guns ease through to last eight

19th February 2018

While Liverpool spent the weekend at a warm weather training camp in Spain following their red-hot Champions League display in Porto, several other Premier League sides were involved in FA Cup duty. The big guns all avoided each other and it’s no great surprise that all of them made it into the quarter-final, which was […]

Premier League week 27 round-up: Salah and Firmino lead Liverpool cruise

12th February 2018

With just Chelsea to play West Bromwich Albion tonight, it has been another weekend full of Premier League action. As preparation for a major Champions League tie goes, Liverpool’s win at Southampton on Sunday was as ideal as it gets. Two first half goals put the Reds in a commanding position that they never looked […]

Premier League week 26 round-up: Unadventurous Reds pay a heavy penalty

5th February 2018

Drawing at home to a direct rival for Champions League qualification and having been under siege for most of the second half is no disgrace, but the manner in which an uncharacteristically cautious Liverpool had two points snatched from their grasp by Tottenham left the Anfield faithful crushed. It all started so perfectly when Mohamed […]

Premier League Week 25 Round-Up: Liverpool Take Full Advantage of Rivals’ Slip-Ups

1st February 2018

In the end, it was uncharacteristically straightforward for Liverpool at the John Smith’s Stadium on Tuesday night. Just as at Anfield earlier in the season, the Reds were comfortable 3-0 winners over Huddersfield, who barely laid a glove on the visitors all night. A tame affair came to life shortly before the half-hour with a […]

FA Cup round 4 round-up: Lethargic Liverpool deservedly dumped out by Baggies

29th January 2018

The VAR was called upon on several occasions at Anfield on Saturday night and the evidence was clear – Liverpool are a team bereft of leadership, guts and game management. Roberto Firmino’s sumptuous sixth-minute goal seemed to be the perfect riposte to the stinging criticism from last week’s defeat to Swansea, but instead it was […]

Grujic joins Cardiff in an otherwise uneventful week for the loanees

23rd January 2018

Marko Grujic – Cardiff City Crossing the border in search of a loan spell, Marko Grujic has joined Championship high-flyers, Cardiff City until the end of the season. His debut at the weekend got off to an uncomfortable start, when he was booked just seven minutes after the first whistle, for a late challenge. As […]

Premier League week 24 round-up: City back to winning ways after Anfield humbling

22nd January 2018

With Liverpool not in action until Monday night, how did the rest of the Premier League fare out over the weekend? Having seen their unbeaten record ended by the Reds last week, Manchester City bounced back with a 3-1 victory at home to Newcastle. Sergio Aguero famously scored five in this fixture two seasons ago […]

Premier League week 23 round-up: Reds hold on to win game for the ages

15th January 2018

Some heavyweight Premier League matches are hyped up to the last by Sky Sports, only to be anti-climactic damp squibs. Liverpool and Manchester City on Sunday did not fall into that category. It was scintillating, unpredictable, agonising and at times unwatchable. It was Liverpool at their coruscating best and self-destructive worst. The Reds were the […]
