Liverpool 2 Aston Villa 0 (Nov 9 2024)
It wasn’t as impressive as the Leverkusen game but there was just something very routine and grown up about that win and performance. It was just very mature, controlled and drama free. It should have been over long before it was but it never felt like the missed chances would cost us as - two quick corners in the first half aside - we were never really threatened. Villa showed very little ambition which could be a result of the respect Emery has for Slots team, or it could be that t

A View to the Future - Stefan Bajcetic
In the past couple of seasons, The View to the Future series has travelled to the English lower leagues as TLW have followed the journey of our various loanees. For the first time we get direct insight from a European club in this case how Stefan Bajcetic is progressing courtesy of the Red Bull Salzburg Supporters group. Firstly Tobias Schmied gives us a complete overview into the current club dynamic of Salzburg where it has been a campaign full of inconsistency and in turn how Baj
Robertson: I am aiming to prove my doubters wrong again
Andy Robertson says he will never take his starting spot for granted and is ready to do what it takes to find his best form again. For the first time in many seasons, the much loved Liverpool left-back was benched for two consecutive games against Brighton and Bayer Leverkusen. Robertson is a player that is tireless in his workrate both in an attacking and defensive sense and with plenty of miles on the clock there was a thought that perhaps it was starting to catch up to
Slot: Current form of Robertson is a lot to do with injury interrupted pre-season
Arne Slot is not concerned with the current form of Andy Robertson saying that the defender is playing catch-up after an injury interrupted pre-season. Any long term observer of the left-back undoubtedly respects his tireless work rate with the way he tracks his opponent in a defensive sense and then becomes a attacking weapon with his crosses into the box and chipping with the odd vital goal along the way. Despite being only 30, Robertson has plenty of clock

That was the Week that Was (Nov 11-16 2024)
Monday Nov 11: Ohhhhhh boy. This was the not the start to the international break any of us were expecting. I thought I’d be writing today about the potential severity of Trent’s hamstring injury or Harvey’s return to training with the u21s, but no. We got the bombshell Coote video. This is really difficult to write about because I don’t know where to even start. I’ll deal with what he said first. Not surprised he thinks Klopp is a cunt. He won’t be alone in that, because
Premier League Round Up (Nov 9-10 2024)
I said that last week was the Jolly Boys Outing of weekends. This one wasn’t quite at that level but was still pretty fucking good. Maybe the Blow Up Dolls episode or the Groovy Gang one? City lost, Spurs got embarrassed and none of Arsenal, Chelsea, United or Everton won. Lovely jubbly. I’ll start with City again, as I’m quite enjoying watching them at the moment. I could definitely get used to this. Last week I wrote… “They often have some sketchy results at this stage

Monday Nov 4: A tweet from Mo that had strong Facebook ma vibes about it has everyone talking. “Top of the table is where this club belongs,” the 32-year-old posted. “Nothing less. All teams win matches but there’s only 1 champion in the end. That’s what we want. Thank you for your support last night. No matter what happens, I will never forget what scoring at Anfield feels like.” “No matter what happens”. Obviously that sparked a lot of speculation. There’s b
Premier League Round Up (Nov 2-4 2024)
If last weekend were a TV show, it would be the Jolly Boys Outing episode of Only Fools & Horses. It doesn’t get much better, it’s virtually impossible to improve on it. We won, City lost, Arsenal lost, Everton lost in hilarious circumstances (basically the scene when the coach blows up), Villa lost and neither United or Chelsea won. As a great man once said, “lovely jubbly”. I’ll start with City because I don’t usually talk about them. I’ll make an exception this time as they’ve

Liverpool 4 Bayer Leverkusen 0 (Nov 5 2024)
That was much better than I expected. 4-0 against one of the best teams in Europe is not to be sniffed at. This was a proper big boy performance and result and it’s one that will have the rest of Europe taking note. We didn’t just beat Leverkusen, we dismantled them. In the second half anyway, the first half was tight with neither side able to really get on top. That’s the game I was expecting. Then in the second half we stepped on the gas and ran all over them. That isn’t what I wa
Liverpool 2 Brighton 1 (Nov 2 2024)
What do we focus on after this? The awful first half or the fightback after the break that turned it around and sent us back to the top of the league? I think the answer has to be both. While ultimately we went home happy after what turned out to be one hell of a day for us, we can’t just dismiss how bad the first half was. Thankfully Slot will be able to analyse that first half knowing that it didn’t cost us anything because he was able to fix things at the break and the players fou
Brighton 2 Liverpool 3 (Oct 30 2024)
Considering the amount of changes made by both teams, there’s little point in looking at the game too deeply or trying to draw any conclusions about how it compares to other recent performances or what it means moving forward. I would just look at a game like this and take it for what it was, which was a fun, entertaining cup tie in which we deservedly progressed to the next round. I can honestly say, hand on heart, if we had gone out I wouldn’t have been taking any issue with the te
Arsenal 2 Liverpool 2 (Oct 27 2024)
A point away at Arsenal is rarely a bad one, and that certainly applies here. It’s a good point for us, less so for them. They’ve finished above us the last couple of seasons, they’ve beaten us in the league at their place in both of those seasons and although we went into this one above them in the table, we haven’t been blowing the doors off anyone and our form has not been as convincing as the results have been. So I think pretty much all of us would have taken a point before the

Premier League Round Up (Oct 25-27 2024)
I hate the notion of VAR. Always have, always will. I also hate Michael Oliver as he’s a fucking loose cannon who thinks he doesn’t have to follow the guidelines set out for other officials. So put VAR and Michael Oliver together, and there are few things in this world I hate more. Even more so now that these two things have conspired to kill my sweet prince Erik. What happened to him is a fucking disgrace. He’d still be in a job keeping us all entertained if Oliver hadn’t inexplicab

Monday Oct 28: Boooooooooooo! Goodnight Sweet Prince. Can’t believe they’ve finally done it you know, especially because they only lost at the weekend to a disgusting VAR intervention by that cunt Michael Oliver. Would they have done it if they’d drawn the game? Not sure, but if the answer to that is no then clearly “Sir Jim” hasn’t got a clue what he’s doing. Then again, he not only kept him on last summer, he gave him a new contract which means he’s now having to pay hi

"Macca Can" - Steve McMahon interview
You started out with the Blues. Was it always going to be Everton or did you have any trials with Liverpool when you were a kid? It was always going to be Everton, I didn’t get an option. When I was 10 or 11 I was scouted by them and that was the first thing I did, join Everton. All my family were Evertonians - lots of them still are - so it was a natural thing to do and I was very fortunate. Things change quickly in life though. We’ll get to why you left in a second, but I wanted t

Magic Moments
"Xabi Alonso's 70 yard screamer against Newcastle (2006/07)" by Jason Harris
When you think of guile and grace as a midfielder, one name that personally comes to mind is Xabi Alonso. To this day, Xabi remains in my top three all-time favourite Liverpool players for many of the qualities that will be discussed in this piece.Signed for a absolute snip at £10.7 million from Real Sociedad at the start of Rafa Benitez's tenure in the summer of 2004, the Spaniard's arrival in England was at the peak of a pre-eminent era for central midfielders in the Premier League. He joined
"El Niño strikes - Fernando Torres’ first goal" by Jason Harris
When an eagle-eyed photographer spied the words 'You’ll Never Walk Alone' on an armband worn by Fernando Torres in an Atletico Madrid game, it appeared destiny that the Spaniard would one day play for the Reds. Liverpool fans were crying out for an iconic figure to lead the line and help take the team to the next level. Their dreams became a reality when Rafa Benitez signed the 23-year-old from his boyhood club for £27 million, which at the time was a club record fee. While Torres wa
'SuperDan' breaks the drought at Old Trafford (2000/01)" by Jason Harris
"One day we will beat Manchester United, I promise you that." Those were the immortal words from Gerard Houllier after a gut-wrenching 2-1 defeat to the Red Devils at Old Trafford in January of 1999. Houllier was never a manager chasing headlines with the way he spoke, but the Frenchman saw something in the team he had taken sole ownership over just a few months before after initially sharing the role with Roy Evans. It had been close to ten years of misery when playing

Kop Tales In Their Own Words: Emlyn's first night as a Red
Emlyn Hughes is one of Liverpool finest ever players and captains, having given 12 years sterling service to the club and captaining the Reds to their first European Cup success in 1977. Emlyn saw and did it all during his time on Merseyside, but of all the weird and wonderful things he experienced as a Liverpool player, perhaps nothing was as surreal and memorable as his first night as a Red. The following is an extract from Emlyn’s book, entitled ‘Emlyn Hughes: Crazy Horse’, and re
Kop Tales In Their Own Words: Smith, Yeats and Mayhem in Majorca
Tommy Smith was known as the Anfield Iron and one of the hardest men to ever pull on the Red shirt. Ron Yeats was an even more fearsome individual, a man mountain who had made a living slaughtering animals in an abattoir before becoming a professional footballer. Yeats struck fear into Liverpool's opponents during the 1960s, while his young apprentice Smith took over the mantle throughout the following decade. The following extract, taken from Smith’s book, Tommy Smith: I Did it the
Kop Tales In Their Own Words: Steve McMahon - Switching Sides
Swapping Everton for Liverpool is always a contentious move likely to upset fans of the Blues, but when you’re a local lad, boyhood fan and a player who became club captain it’s going to sting a lot more. Steve McMahon could have joined Liverpool immediately after walking away from Goodison Park. He was out of contract and there would have been nothing Everton could have done to stop it, but out of respect for his boyhood club McMahon instead chose to make a two year stop at Aston V
