I wonder how many more players we need to lose before it actually becomes a problem? You can make a convincing argument that only two of the eleven that thrashed Luton would make it into Klopp’s preferred line up when he has a full squad to choose from. That doesn’t mean these lads are ‘reserves’ as it’s very much a squad game these days, but Alisson, Trent, Konate, Robertson, Jones, Szoboszlai, Nunez, Salah and Jota are all probably starting if they’re available. They weren’t available though (or in the case of Konate and Robbo they were being rested for the weekend) and yet I thought that starting eleven still looked good. Not great, and you wouldn’t want to…

Luton Town were caught in a second half whirlwind as the Reds overcame a half time deficit to blow away the plucky Hatters. Goals from Van Dijk, Gakpo, Diaz and Elliott completed a terrific turnaround that Jurgen Klopp compared to *checks notes* erm, the win over Barcelona. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to look back on a great night at Anfield and look forward to what will be a great afternoon at Wembley on Sunday. View full article

Jurgen Klopp says his squad are a major believer in the power of positivity and were focused on who was playing rather than those who were absent through injury as Liverpool produced a outstanding second half display to overwhelm Luton 4-1 at Anfield on Wednesday night. Already without Alisson, Dominik Szoboszlai and Trent Alexander-Arnold before the weekend, the Reds then lost Curtis Jones and Diogo Jota to injuries that will see them miss weeks and possibly months of action. And with the Carabao Cup final against Chelsea on Sunday, no risks were taken with Mo Salah, Darwin Nunez and Ibrahima Konate, the latter being a unused substitute while the …

You can only choose one. If Everton are relegated, City keep their titles. If City are stripped of them, Everton stay up.

Massive win, potential banana skin avoided and we extended our lead over City by two points. That’s the good news. The bad news is we may have lost two key players for the foreseeable future, but we have to cross our fingers and hope for the best on that. This was a great win and while maybe the scoreline flattered us a little, it was a comfortable, deserved win in a fixture that has given us problems in recent years. I think we were assisted by how shit they were at the back but I also think we spotted things in their game that we could exploit, and we did. It wasn’t a co-incidence how we created so many chances by knocking the ball forward early and turning …

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. Note this game is not on TV in the UK, and yet this is a game that requires more focus than most. City play Brentford the day before so the gap is likely to again be reduced. We also have the small matter of the League Cup final at the weekend. I don't think Jurgen or his players are the type to take their eye of the ball, but it is still something to guard against. Luton have been punching above their weight all season, and while it hasn't translated into points on the whole, their opponents have generally known they were in a cont…

Monday Feb 12: Reports today say Postecoglu won't be joining us at the end of the season. In other news, I can confirm that I won't be taking up a membership at Augusta National. Seriously, how the fuck is he even being linked with the job? Because he's a fan? So are all of you reading this and you won't be getting the job either. Ok, I'm being flippant as he's clearly got something about him, but that's not anywhere near enough to be qualified for this job. If we appointed him I'd be fucking livid. I don't care for that guy. I've been watching loads of tactical analysis videos of Alonso's Leverkusen and I'm all in on this. I was even before I'd se…

A big win that looks to have come at something of a cost. The Reds made a tricky fixture look easy but lost three players to injury and at least one of them looks to be very serious, but Salah was back with a goal and we're still top of the league. Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown and TLW Editor Dave Usher to pick the bones out of an eventful game down in West London in which Nunez showed his finishing prowess, Salah returned in style, Cody bagged himself a goal and Macca chipped in with a lovely strike.

Jurgen Klopp is highly impressed by the work of Xabi Alonso and in time believes that he will be the leader of the next generation of elite managers. The former Liverpool midfield star has guided Bayer Leverkusen to the top of the Bundesliga where they currently sit five points clear of reigning champions Bayern Munich. The fact that they have done it in such an impressive fashion has certainly caught the eye of many observers, currently unbeaten through 21 games in the league as well as still competing in the Europa League and German Cup. The shock announcement that Klopp would be leaving at the end of this campaign have led many to h…

Another pretty shitty weekend really but it never feels as bad when we win, so at least there’s that. Wasn’t great in terms of other results though, but I think we need to get used to that as it’s going to be like this most of the time now. The Blues lost but that was the most nailed on result of the decade. City are going for a title, nothing takes priority over that if you’re a Blue, not even the looming prospect of relegation and possible end of days. As long as the Redshite aren’t winning titles. Ok, it’s a little more complex than that these days since Everton were caught cheating. All of a sudden, they’ve gone from revelling in City’s financi…

I’ve always had the feeling that leaving Liverpool is one of the most stupid things a player can do for his career. It usually only go downwards from there. But I can think of a few players who made the right call when they left and got a great career elsewhere also after leaving us. The three players who instantly spring to mind for me are S.McManaman, X.Alonso and L.Suarez. K.Keegan had two good years at Hamburg, but Im not sure if I think that is enough, R.Sterling went to City so I will not count him because they have been cheating ever since. What do you think, who have I missed or is it just these three?

Looking at the fixtures, it feels that the next 6 games are pivotal for us to take control of this title race. Liverpool played 24 54 pts City played 23 52 pts Arsenal played 24 52 pts Us 17/2 @ 12:30 Brentford (A) Arsenal 17/2 @ 15:00 Burnley (A) City 17/2 @ 17:00 Chelsea (H) City 20/2@ 19:30 Brentford (H) Us 21/2 @ 19:30 Luton (H City 24/2 @ 17:30 Bournemouth (A) Arsenal 24/2 @ 20:00 Newcastle (H) Us 2/3 @ 15:00 Forest (A) City 3/3 @ 15:30 Utd (H) Arsenal 4/3 @ 20:00 Sheff U (A) Arsenal 9/3 …

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. Note the early kick-off time. We got back on the bike against Burnley at the weekend. Granted it was tentative in the first half and we only really woke up in the second, but we merited the 3 points in the end. As we play before City, we have a chance to extend our lead at the top of the table once again. We wouldn't expect them to drop points at home to Chelsea on Saturday evening, so just take it one game at a time and just stay ahead and see what happens. It's weird how they always seem to have games in hand when they are chasing…

Monday Feb 5: Lots of talk about the Arsenal celebrations and loads of people are completely missing the point. “They’ve won, why shouldn’t they celebrate”. Oh fuck off. They should celebrate, of course they should. We’d have celebrated too. We celebrate after every win and no-one enjoys a celebration more than Klopp. The problem with Arsenal is the WAY they celebrate, it always just makes me want to die of cringe, and it’s not just me and it’s not just Reds. Everyone takes the piss out of Arsenal and there’s a good reason for it. It just all feels so forced and lame, especially Arteta. That cunt does not have an authentic bone in his body. He’s t…

It wasn’t exactly the bounce back from the Arsenal game I hoped for, but a win is a win and in the end I was just relieved we got it. For a while there this wasn’t going very well and there was the potential for us to drop points, which given the opposition would have been unthinkable. You have to beat Burnley at home. And we did, in the end. The first half was awful I thought. Just slow, passive, turgid shite. The goal we scored was a gift from a corner, which we then promptly gifted back to them in similar fashion. I don’t think anyone could suggest that we deserved to be ahead at the break. We never got going at all in that half. Klopp’s explana…

The front three all found the net as the under strength Reds rallied in the second half to overcome a plucky Burnley side at Anfield to return to the top of the table. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards to reflect on all of the major talking points from this game and to also discuss the exploits of Xabi Alonso in the Bundesliga. The lads also look ahead to a tricky looking 12.30 fixture at Brentford next weekend. View full article

I am not saying I think this is an especially good article overall as it IMHO is a bit of a mess in how it covers what it is trying to get at. But I do think it raises some interesting points, touches on some issues that are definitely things that exist at Anfield on matchday and the topic is a worthwhile discussion.... My own view is that the crowd at Anfield demographically is now more 'divided' than it has ever been and therefore there is a lack of 'togetherness' and a lack of shared identity/mindsets/behaviours and as a result, the overall atmosphere is fractured.

One of the worst weekends in a long time for us. We don’t lose many, only two this season, but when we lose to Arsenal and then basically everyone who we don’t to win, wins, that just makes it much worse. There isn’t one result that even gave me the tiniest little bit of consolation, it’s just proper shit. Chelsea got beat but they're so irrelevant now I genuinely don't care. They're 11th, the deadbeats. I suppose the only result that went the way I wanted it to was at Goodison. Most of you were probably pissed off when that late equaliser went in, and usually I would be. I'm not sure why, but I absolutely did not want Spurs to win, even if it was …

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. Need to get back on that bike pronto. Last weekend's results are both a slap in the face and a wake-up call. The performance at Arsenal was awful, exacerbated by disastrous errors from individuals who are far from error-prone. It's not often Virg looks uncomfortable. It's not often Ali is so indecisive and penetrable. Learn from it, dust yourselves off and move on. Ideally, a game in midweek would be been a great opportunity to do just that, but a Saturday 3:00pm slot will suffice. Those are like rocking horse shit these days. …

A good problem for Jurgen from now on, with just about everybody who will be back except Tsimikas there or thereabouts. What's our best XI? I think most of it picks itself, but I'm stuck on Trent/Bradley and Endo/Mac Allister. Horses for courses, maybe. I wouldn't be in favour of moving Trent into midfield as that means someone else good has to drop out. Also, Joe Gomez has been magnificent over the last few months. Alisson, Trent, Konate, VVD, Robertson, Mac Allister, Szlobo, Jones, Salah, Nunez, Jota Bradley, Gomez, Endo and Diaz on after 60 mins.
