PSV Eindhoven 3 Liverpool 2 (Jan 29 2025)
I know it didn’t matter, and that we finished top anyway, but this defeat still stung me a little. I really wanted the win and to keep the 100% record, but I would have been fine with a loss if we just hadn’t shown up or if I felt like it was deserved. That’s not the case, we did not deserve to lose this game at all and the makeshift side we put out gave all they had. So I was disappointed. Not with them, but for them. PSV haven’t lost at home for 50 odd games but had we been a bit l

Opposition View: AFC Bournemouth
The fixture list continues to deliver its challenges in Liverpool’s quest for Premier League glory. In the past we may have thought managers that say there are no easy games were being incredibly diplomatic but it is certainly the case this season. After having passed searching away tests against Nottingham Forest and Brentford, the start of February sees another significant challenge awaiting the Reds on the road. Bournemouth are currently on a 11 game unbeaten streak in the league
Slot: It would be weird if Harvey was happy regarding his playing time this season
Arne Slot says it is a positive sign that Harvey Elliott is frustrated with his lack of game time this season but it is all part of being part of a squad filled with quality players. The English U/21 international has only played a full 90 minutes on two occasions this season, both which came in domestic cup competitions. The most minutes he has played in the league was against West Ham on the 29th of December (16) and 43 league minutes in all, albeit he missed two months
Carragher: I would take the risk of selling Nunez in January for the right price
Jamie Carragher says if a big bid comes in for Darwin Nunez in the January transfer window he would not be against selling the Uruguayan striker. Discussion surrounding the Liverpool future of the 25 year-old has ramped up in the past few weeks with reports that the club had received a big money bid from Saudi League club Al-Hilal, something that since has been refuted. Nunez is one of those players which divides great opinion amongst the fanbase. And there is little doub

Premier League Round Up (Jan 25-26 2025)
The easy thing to do this week would be to start with Arsenal given the absolute fucking bedlam they’ve caused this week with yet more cryarsing, but fuck them. I’m not going to lead with them, I’m going to give Bournemouth their due by giving them top billing after what they did to Forest. Them winning was not a surprise as they’re flying. So are Forest of course, but it feels like what Bournemouth are doing is more sustainable simply because of how they play. Teams that play the wa

Liverpool 4 Ipswich Town 1 (Jan 25 2025)
We don’t tend to have many of these, so this was a nice stress free afternoon. I can’t remember too many occasions where we went into the second half knowing that the game was already won, usually we’re 0-0 or losing. More of this please, Reds. Of course we won’t be playing teams as poor as Ipswich too often. Watching this it was easy to see how they conceded six last week against City. We could have easily matched that if we’d been inclined to push for it, but we settled for four an

Monday Jan 20: Curtis has upset ‘the fam’ after saying Hazard is a better footballer than Mo but that if he was picking a team he’d always take Mo. He’s getting dog’s abuse from twitter virgins even though what he said is 100% true and it’s something he winds Mo up with regularly. Salah is better than Hazard. We all know this, Curtis even acknowledged this by saying it’s Mo he’d have in his team. The only problem here was how he worded it, and I’d have to go back and watch it but I t
Premier League Round Up (Jan 18-20 2025)
Let’s start this week with the absolute fucking madhouse that is Arsenal. A word I really don’t like but everyone seems to be using these days is ‘gaslighting’. I don’t even know why I don’t like it, I think it’s because it’s just being used constantly whereas a few years ago I’d never heard of it. I rarely use it - if ever - but when I see the carry on out of Arsenal fans week in week out it’s hard to think of a more suitable word for what’s going on. This week they’ve taken their g

Liverpool 2 Lille 1 (Jan 21 2025)
That was fairly low key but that’s fine, we got the result we needed and I don’t think we had to expend too much energy to get it. It was a dominant performance over a team that hadn’t lost since September, and I don’t think we really ever had to go higher than third gear. Seven wins from seven, top spot in the group and guaranteed to finish no lower than second. I didn’t even realise what the benefit of that is until this morning. I knew it meant that in theory we get an inferior op
Brentford 0 Liverpool 2 (Jan 18 2025)
Fucking get in there!!! At the end of the season I feel like we’ll look back on this weekend as when the title was won. This was the ‘late win at Villa’ moment from our last title season if you like. We didn’t know it at the time, but when it was all said and done and we looked back, that game jumped out as the pivotal moment and Sadio’s winning goal is seared into the memories of everyone, even old fuckers like me with fading memories. United at home was the game that cemented it i
Nottingham Forest 1 Liverpool 1 (Jan 14 2025)
I really thought we were going to put Forest back in their box. I kept thinking about when we went to Leicester a few years ago when they were our nearest challenger, and we put on a proper big boy performance and showed them that there were levels to this shit. That’s what I thought would happen here. It didn’t. Not until the last half an hour or so anyway, and even then we didn’t produce the goals to make it count. Nevertheless, it’s vitally important that we didn’t lose. I’m not g

Premier League Round Up (Jan 14-16 2025)
No league games at the weekend as it was the FA Cup, but we’ve had a full programme of league fixtures in midweek. At the top our lead has been cut to four points, while at the bottom it’s now basically two from five to see who goes down with hapless Southampton. Tuesday night first, and while we were drawing at Forest, City were blowing a 2-0 lead away at Brentford. Foden put them ahead with a lovely cushioned volley, and then added another when he pounced on a rebound after the liv

Monday Jan 13: Real Madrid got mauled by Barca yesterday so obviously there’s reports today of them coming back in for Trent. Because he’s obviously what they need to shore up a defence that let in four to their biggest rivals! Kyle Walker is available, let them go for him instead. Although if he’s got any sense he’ll go to Italy where he’s be the fastest player in that slow arse league for the next ten years. Meanwhile, it looks like Tyler Morton might be getting itchy f
That was the Week that Was (Jan 6-11 2025)
Monday Jan 6: The Trent stuff is rumbling on, which is understandable after that horror show yesterday. He couldn’t cope with the pressure of that, but it’s pressure he has brought on himself so I have little sympathy. That being said, I hope fans don’t turn against him as this is not an irredeemable situation and - unlike many - I don’t think it’s nailed on that he’s leaving. It sure looked like it yesterday, but you won’t convince me that he played that way because he doesn’t give

"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
