    I’ll be keeping this one short as I’m struggling with the lurgy and I don’t actually there’s much to say anyway. It wasn’t great but it was enough and that’s all I’m expecting in games like this. I was fine with it, so I was a little surprised to hear Slot going off on the performance afterwards.   We’ve played much worse than this and he’s been relaxed about it. So why was he so pissed off after this? I think it’s about standards and that he’s seen them slipping a little since the Cit

    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

    Premier League Round Up (Dec 7 - 9 2024)

    After last week’s aberration, normal service is resumed this week as I can talk about those City losers dropping more points. Even before they turned to shit they would often have problems against Palace so this wasn’t exactly a shock result, especially given City’s recent form, but it’s still great seeing them suffer.   Palace are a bogey side for them though, no question. They’re right there alongside Spurs and - to a lesser extent - Wolves as unfancied teams that have a decent track

    Monday Dec 2:   Something from yesterday I want to mention as I think I forgot to put it in the match report. The coin toss. Virgil wasn’t happy about something and I joked that Kavanagh had brought his double sided coin to allow City to turn us around, but it turns out that Virg wasn’t ready because he was still looking after the mascot. The reason I mention this is because when Virg was asked about it, he actually name checked the little guy, Isaac. He didn’t need to do that, he coul

    I feel a bit cheated this week as I can’t open with a Man City defeat.

    I don’t think we’ll know if this is a good point or not until after the weekend. If we win at Goodison then I’m happy to look back at this and say “yeah that’s a decent result in the circumstances”. If we drop more points at Goodison though, this performance and the way we threw it away at the end is going to be viewed a lot more harshly I think. For now though I’m relaxed about it.   I’m not mad at anyone, it’s just football. We aren’t going to win every game, there are going to be so

    Liverpool 2 Manchester City 0 (Dec 1 2024)

    That was the most complete performance we’ve ever had against City. Granted, it’s also the weakest City team we’ve faced in many a year and they’re in an absolute mess right now, so that can’t be overlooked, but even so, given that magnitude of the game how can you not be absolute buzzing about this?   We’re better than City now. They’ve lost Rodri and that’s killed them, but even with Rodri we’re still much better. Previously when we’ve had the upper hand over them it felt like we had

    Liverpool 2 Real Madrid 0 (Nov 27 2024)

    Well that was fucking brilliant. What a performance. From start to finish we dominated Real Madrid and but for that Postman Pat looking goon in goal this would have been a mauling for the ages.    We’ve had a lot of wins already this season, but some of us have been wondering when the “statement win” that would really put the stamp on this now being Slot’s era was going to come. You could have previously argued that it already happened with Leverkusen, but I don’t think you can make th

    Southampton 2 Liverpool 3 (Nov 24 2024)

    This is a massive three points in the context of the weekend, but bloody hell we sure made hard work of it. It was a strange game as it wasn’t like the Palace or Wolves away games where we just didn’t have it at all. This wasn’t that bad apart from the two stupid goals.   We were well on top, didn’t give them much of a sniff for the most part but because we gave them two daft goals it made it much harder than it needed to be, and we were actually quite fortunate to win in the end, but

    Another week another City loss. This time it was a fucking mauling too. By Spurs of all teams, who a week earlier had lost at home to Ipswich. Thing is though, for whatever reason Spurs are like Kryptonite to City. It feels like they always beat them, which obviously isn’t the case, but Spurs do have City’s number and this was second time they’ve beaten them this month. Spurs are to City what Ben Doak is to Josko Gvardiol.   I wasn’t shocked that City dropped points, I could easily hav

I don’t want to make it seem bigger than it is though so let me say first of all that I don’t think it’s a big thing and I’m not losing any sleep over it. I’m not calling his names or slagging him off, I’m simply commenting on his decision to speak out yesterday and also what he said. It doesn’t change how I feel; I want him to stay and I think we should be doing all we can to keep him.

I had a look at that group table as I was honestly wondering if that’s the first point Luxembourg had ever picked up. Turns out they have three now just in THIS group, let alone whatever they may have done in previous years. Not gonna lie, that blew my mind. That’s actually pretty impressiv

    "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

    "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

    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

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
