FA Cup round 3 review: Van Dijk’s dream debut sees Reds safely through on weekend of upsets
From the moment that Virgil van Dijk’s name was listed on the teamsheet for Friday’s Merseyside derby, it seemed inevitable that he would be the headline maker and so it proved, his late headed goal marking a dream Liverpool debut as Everton were eliminated from the FA Cup. It’s fair to say that the teams […]

Premier League Roundup: City and United win as Liverpool get late victory against Burnley – West Ham and Palace out of the relegation zone
The Premier League welcomed 2018 in some predictable style with games on Monday and Tuesday. The end result was Manchester City remained top and West Bromwich Albion remained very much bottom. The runaway leaders welcomed Watford to the Etihad and eased to a 3-1 victory. Raheem Sterling opened the scoring and City moved into a […]

Premier League Roundup: United fail to win again and Allardyce finally tastes defeat
Manchester City saw their winning run end at 18 matches at Crystal Palace on Sunday and were also counting the cost of injuries to Gabriel Jesus and Kevin de Bruyne.

Premier League week 20 round-up: Christmas cruise for Liverpool as Swansea surrender meekly
Having not won at Anfield in the Premier League since mid-November, Liverpool made up for lost time by sticking five goals past an abject Swansea side without reply on Boxing Day. The first half was largely forgettable save for Philippe Coutinho’s sublime early goal and Roberto Firmino’s glaring miss on the stroke of half-time. The […]

Premier League week 19 round-up: Christmas chaos as Arsenal and Liverpool share six goals
If you thought the most chaotic place in London on 22nd December would be a shopping centre, you’d be mistaken. That honour went to the Emirates Stadium, which staged a 3-3 draw between Arsenal and Liverpool which provided a treat for neutrals but put fans of both clubs through the wringer. Just as they had […]

Premier League week 18 round-up: Cherries picked off by clinical Liverpool
Four at West Ham, three at Stoke, five at Brighton and now four at Bournemouth. Liverpool might have been left lamenting their inability to score just once in their previous two home matches but they certainly don’t suffer from travel sickness. At the ground where they blew a 3-1 lead just over a year ago, […]

Premier League Week 17 Round-up: Liverpool Held at Home Yet Again
Where are the excuses now? Jurgen Klopp certainly can’t be blamed for his team selection against West Brom, with each of the ‘Fab Four’ in the starting line-up, but a Baggies side that has not won since August came to Anfield to do a job and they did it. Liverpool had their fair share of […]

Premier League week 16 round-up: Klopp’s selection errors + Everton’s anti-football = frustration for Liverpool
Jurgen Klopp has been largely lauded by Liverpool supporters since arriving at Anfield two years ago, but on Sunday afternoon he copped a lot of flak for his very questionable team selection and substitutions during the 1-1 draw against Everton. The German boldly left Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho on the bench and, even with […]

Champions League matchday 6 round-up: Rampant Reds go through as group winners
The squandering of a 3-0 lead against Sevilla a fortnight ago was met with anguish and disgust by Liverpool fans, but we need not have worried as a night that could have gone horribly wrong against Spartak Moscow ended up being as placid and comfortable as a pre-season friendly. For the second time this season, […]

Premier League week 15 round-up: Five-star Liverpool go fourth
Quick-fire visits to Stoke and Brighton were fraught with danger for Liverpool, but they overcame both challenges convincingly, following up Wednesday’s 3-0 win in the Potteries with a 5-1 victory at the Amex Stadium on Saturday. The final score was somewhat misleading, as Brighton gave a good account themselves for large spells but were punished […]
