Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp has told his crop of Reds youngsters they must be patient and wait for their chance to shine in the first team. The German coach steered the Anfield giants to a sixth Champions League triumph at the end of last season with a 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in Madrid. And […]

Premier League week 34 round-up: Terrific front three all on target as Liverpool keep up the winning habit

With four Premier League matches still to play, Mohamed Salah’s goal tally in the competition stands at 30, leaving him just two away from setting a new record for a 38-match season and four off the all-time record. Amid all the hysteria over Harry Kane claiming phantom goals, the Egyptian King just gets on with […]

Shall we all point and laugh at United now?

What’s that? Manchester City led a game at half-time and went on to win? Are you sure? I thought they had soft mentalities and all that? Surely, you cannot mean that they are actually worthy winners of the Premier League? But they had lost their last three big matches! Finished, they were. Finished I tell […]

Premier League week 33 round-up: Spoils are shared in drab Merseyside derby

In the history of Merseyside Derbies, Saturday’s damp squib at Goodison Park will barely even be a footnote. A weakened Liverpool side showed none of the fluidity and energy that has seen them draw so many plaudits under Jurgen Klopp, understandably so with Tuesday’s Champions League date in Manchester to come. Everton didn’t have the […]

Premier League week 32 round-up: Salah the saviour again as Reds ride their luck

In my preview of this weekend’s Premier League action, I wrote that Liverpool just needed to beat Crystal Palace on Saturday, even if it was to be scrappy or lucky. It was no means a vintage performance from the Reds but they dug deep to claim a crucial victory against an unfortunate Palace side. Yet […]

International round-up: Van Dijk and Solanke on target but several Reds sit it out

The bulk of Liverpool’s first team squad were involved in international duty over the last few days, but several Reds had little or no part to play in those friendlies staged on Monday and Tuesday. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain was Liverpool’s only starter in England’s 1-1 draw against Italy, picking up a first half yellow card in […]

International round-up: Reds’ England midfielders impress but Gomez injury unwelcome

Any hopes that Jurgen Klopp would have had of seeing his international players get through the weekend unscathed ended within a few minutes of Netherlands and England kicking off in Amsterdam, with Joe Gomez hobbling off with an ankle injury in the early stages and likely to miss the Reds’ Champions League quarter-final. It was […]

FA Cup quarter-finals round-up: No surprises as all four favourites advance to the semis

The 2017/18 FA Cup has seen a few shocks throughout the competition, but in each of the quarter-finals, the team classified as favourites prevailed to advance to the last four. Indeed, three of the Premier League’s top five remain in contention for the trophy, so perhaps the world’s oldest competition has not become an irritant […]

Premier League week 31 round-up: Hornets stung by sensational, superb Salah

I remember being at Anfield that night in 2013 when Luis Suarez toyed with Norwich, scoring four times in a 5-1 rout, and thinking that it would be a long time before the famous stadium witnessed such a monumental display of individual brilliance. I reckoned without one Mohamed Salah, who for all his goalscoring prowess […]

Premier League week 30 round-up: Liverpool left to rue Rashford’s return to form and refereeing woes

Just over two years since netting a decisive quick-fire first half brace against an established rival on his Premier League debut, Marcus Rashford did the same again on Saturday as Manchester United inflicted Liverpool’s fourth league defeat of the season. While the quality of the young striker’s finishes was considerable, the manner in which the […]
