Well, thank goodness that’s over. Also thank goodness this Premier League season is all but done with. The Reds’ limp display against Chelsea rather summed up Liverpool’s underwhelming league campaign. It looks for all the world as though an eighth-place beckons. Nobody wanted to see that. But the Reds did what the Reds have done […]
In what is the most irrelevant Liverpool Premier League game for years, the Reds take on Swansea City at the Liberty Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The line-up isn’t necessarily interesting in terms of the match itself, but it will have a bearing on Thursday night, as Liverpool look to overturn a one-goal deficit against Villarreal […]
Liverpool may have fallen to a late defeat at Villarreal on Thursday night, but there were some encouraging individual performances and the Reds can count themselves a tad unlucky that they lost the game. The return leg at Anfield is sure to be a massive occasion, and if there was any complacency among Liverpool fans […]
The Reds never do things the easy way in Europe, but if they had just kept their concentration for two more minutes, the task facing them at Anfield next Thursday would have been much simpler. Instead, they have a deficit to overcome. Many will point to the manager and his decision to omit Daniel Sturridge […]
Argh. The Reds. Feels really harsh on us that we’ve come away from that with a defeat. It felt like we were playing for a 0-0 all night, right up until stoppage time when we got slightly carried away and left ourselves exposed. Fair play to Villarreal. They got exactly what they set out to […]
Liverpool return to action on Thursday night as they get the biggest tie of the Jurgen Klopp era under way in Spain. The Reds travel to Villarreal in the knowledge that victory over the two legs will put them into their first European final since 2007. After Saturday’s draw with Newcastle United effectively ended Liverpool’s […]
None of us will be feeling particularly positive following another Liverpool collapse in a Premier League game, but there were some good individual performances from the Reds. Two second half goals from Newcastle mean that Liverpool’s hopes of qualifying for the Champions League through finishing in the top four are all but over, and the […]
What bottlejobs the Reds have been in the league this season. Alright, a couple of key players were rested with an eye on Thursday, and the Mamadou Sakho stuff hasn’t exactly helped, but it’s just been in Liverpool’s DNA this season to fail to close out games. The Reds were in the ascendency from the […]
Mamadou Sakho in under investigation from UEFA after he failed a doping test, and this couldn’t have come at a worse time for Liverpool. The Reds take on Villarreal on Thursday night in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final, and the partnership of Sakho and Dejan Lovren, which had been beginning to blossom, […]
UEFA are investigating a possible anti-doping violation by Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho, the club have confirmed. A report in RMC Sport claims that Sakho has been using a fat burner, and that he will not be selected for the Reds pending further investigations. This comes as a bitter blow to Liverpool, who have a huge month […]
We normally do a combined XI of the current squads for Liverpool and their upcoming opponents, but that would be a waste of time at the moment as not a single Newcastle United player would make the cut. But since the inception of the Premier League, the Magpies have had some serious talent at their […]
Liverpool take on Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon, in one of the most traditionally entertaining fixtures in Premier League history. The Magpies come to Anfield in desperate need of three points as their quest to remain in the division looks set to go right down to the wire. Rafael Benitez, still popular on Merseyside, will […]
