End of a era coming As someone born in the early 80s by the time i went to school and definitely by the time i hit secondary school it was shit. The mancs lording it and the "Its our year" taunts. Slowly started to change under Houllier, then Rafa got some success but Klopp took us to a level none of my generation had seen. So with that whats your best XI and 1 game changing sub from the past 25 years. Mine I'll take Milner as the sub so he can come on play anywhere and kick people

Been mentioned a few times. Could do a poll but there are so many. For me beating Barcelona 4-0 in 2019. My dad was at deaths door at the time, he told me before the match we'd win 4-0. I put it down to the amount of morphine he was on. Just unreal to come back like that. We won number 6 two days after his funeral.

I searched for preexisting threads, but the two I found were both closed. I've only recently started to listen to it, and I've no idea what all the rest of the nonsense was about in the other threads, but I think it's rather decent. They seem to have their shit together and I enjoy listening to it. The latest one - 'CITYTALK: PRE DERBY NERVES' - actually showed some of the lads have a decent knowledge about the game and a decent perspective. A point they made was about how the fans in the ground were reacting when, after 82 minutes, we were passing the ball about and keeping the ball patiently. About how Sahin was moving the ball around for a good two or three minute…

It might have seemed quite close in then end, but this to me never felt in any doubt. We had another gear to go to if needed but we just did what was required to get the job done and now we’re in another final. I’ve lost count of how many we’ve had under Klopp, I heard someone say this was his 10th semi final and I can’t remember us losing any, so presumably this is final number 10. It doesn’t matter, it’s a lot anyway.* I expected more from Fulham but for once we actually started well and played a good first half. I thought Fulham would come flying at us but they didn’t really get the opportunity as we smothered them in that first half. Their players had no t…

Pep Guardiola has echoed his previous claim that Jurgen Klopp is his best rival in Football. Speaking in the aftermath of the shock news that the Liverpool manager will be standing down at the end of this season (Per ESPN), Guardiola said that no one has come close to challenging him as a manager than the German and that he has helped to shape an era in Football. “I will sleep better [when Klopp goes]. The games we play before against Liverpool were almost a nightmare. Of course he will be missed. It was a shock [to hear the news]. I felt when I heard it that a part of Man City … we will lose something. We cannot define our period here without him …

Short one this week as there were only a handful of games, one of which was ours and has already been covered. So four games to get through, starting with the return of my boy Ivan Toney against Forest. Cracking game. Danilo volleyed Forest into an early lead but Toney levelled in contentious circumstances. Firstly, it looked like a dive by Damsgaard to win the free-kick, but the thing that had Forest so angry they wrote to PGMOL about it (I’ll get to this) was Toney moving the ball a foot to the right to give himself a bit more leeway to bend it around the wall and into the bottom corner (which he did, superbly). It’s not just that he moved the ba…

Jurgen Klopp says Joe Gomez has been an unsung hero in his ability to deputise for injured teammates in the back four. Versatility has been a trademark of Jurgen Klopp’s spell as manager, asking players to play in a non-preferred position, but the sacrifice has then led to overall success. That trait is what led to James Milner earning the respect from everyone at the club, whether the midfielder filled in at Left or Right Back, he did it with a minimum of fuss. And Gomez shares that same quality. It is sometimes easy to forget that he is still only 26, but it is clear he is highly regarded from the coaching staff and teammates alike. …

Another Wembley final against Chelsea awaits after Liverpool handled business in the League Cup semi-final second leg at Fulham to secure a 3-2 aggregate win. An early Luis Diaz strike put Jurgen's trophy collecting Reds on course, but a late equaliser meant a tricky ending to an otherwise comfortable night in West London. Chris Smith hosts John Brennan and TLW Editor Dave Usher to recap the action, preview the Norwich game and look ahead to the repeat of the 2022 final and add a tenth League Cup to the Champions Wall.

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. After coming back to win in the first leg, this game represents a chance for the squad, so shorn of first-team regulars, to claim a place in the final, most likely against Chelsea, who play their second leg the day before. In many ways, the squad have exceeded expectations this season so to not reach the final at least would represent disappointment. That would be the case any time we don't reach a final, but this is a squad very much it its infancy such was the summer rebuild. The last League Cup tie between the two at…

Yet another game in which we turned it on in the second half after an underwhelming opening 45 minutes. It feels like we do this every week and it feels like I’m saying every week “it’s not how you start, it’s how you finish”. I’d have preferred us to win the first half 4-0 and then start resting people for Wednesday, but I’m not complaining. Another win, another clean sheet, the forwards in the goals and five points clear. Great stuff. It is weird though the massive discrepancy we’re seeing between halves. Every week I have to listen to my Dad say before the game “we’re always crap in the first half, we’re a second half team”. He’s right of course, but it’s g…

Nunez! Nunez! The Reds recorded what feels like a statement victory in a tricky fixture as Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota put Bournemouth to the sword in a ruthless second half showing. Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown, Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to bask in the glow of a big performance from the lads that extended the lead at the top of the table to five points.

A South American football expert has been surprised by the lack of concrete bids for a midfielder who has been likened to a former Liverpool star. Andre Trindade has been a name which has been circulating for a number of months with a number of Premier League clubs believed to be interested with Liverpool apparently at the front of the queue. Coming off a season that was imminently forgettable, the optimism in the fanbase for a successful campaign was not helped just before the season kickoff in August when the Reds interest in Moises Caicedo and Romeo Lavia was rebuffed with both players opting to join Chelsea. With Liverpool desperate…

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. This fixture marks our return to action following the winter break. While long gaps between games normally see us struggle for rhythm, the 10 day break gives players a chance to spend more time recovering from injuries, dress up like Phoenix Nights doormen for fashion shoots (looking at you, Trent!), and for the coaches it's an opportunity to refresh their coaching ideas and plan for the business end of the season. One in which we hope to be competing on multiple fronts like we did a couple of years ago. Last season's co…

The reason I ask is that I dont really dislike any of the players in our core group, I dont understand how its possible? Usually I have a strong dislike for a few of the players in our first team squad, but not at the moment. Sometimes its almost strong hate, because I think they are fuckin useless. But not now, now its almost boring because I like everyone, but I have convinced myself its a sign and that we will achieve great things this season. Most likely win a triple at least.

Good article in today's Independent about Bob by Ian Herbert, maybe with Ferguson gone hopefully a few more journalists will start to educate the sky generation on what a great manager/person Bob was and that you didn't have to cheat and bully to sometimes achieve results. And that you could lose with good grace no matter how much it hurt. http://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/news-and-comment/remembering-the-remarkable-bob-paisley-nice-guy-and-winner-8933648.html

What is it going to take to win the Premier League this season? Darwin clicking in front of goal? New signings? Or the young players rising to the occasion? And how does the spectre of a Man City resurgence alter our expectations? Chris Smith, Dave Usher and Paul Natton used the winter break to take some listener questions on our player of the year so far, the Reds best XI and what we would consider a successful season from this point. We pick the Liverpool players we'd stake our lives on in a penalty shoot out and how the matchday experience has changed in our long years attending Anfield. View full article

Monday Jan 15: Seems like all our kids are being recalled from loan this month. Beck was needed here, but Carvalho, Williams, Phillips (not a kid, but the point stands), Koumetio and probably others have been called back. Chambers has been sent out to Wigan now that Beck has come back, but we probably need to look a bit more closely at where we’re sending these lads as for the most part it’s like we’re wasting everyone’s time. Tyler Morton is doing well at Hull though, and he did well at Blackburn last year too. He’s a rare success story. Balagizi was another one we called back, I almost forgot about him. Ramsay as well. Fucking hell, this is turni…

Watching the United game, and seeing that absolute cunt of a rat of a cunt Fernandes, and it got me wondering, who is the most punchable cunt in the league? Fernandes, the wizened faced scrote, Gordon, pickford, foden, Bernardo silva, lego head arteta, Anthony.? It's a close call between Fernandes and Bernardo silva for me, although every cunt on the list is a worthy shout.

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. A chance to both continue recent momentum and have one foot at Wembley beckons. Since we have relatively few fixtures this month, with a large break coming up, the issue is less to do with availability and more about rhythm. Even if the manager rings the changes, you want to make sure the ones playing are in great shape, able to carry out tactical plans, be brave in trying to make things happen, and be able to think clearly if put under a bit of pressure. The last time the sides met in this fixture at Anfield was in Dece…

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. The last game before Christmas then. We could go top if we win and Villa (as unlikely as it seems) drop points against Sheffield United. The display at home to West Ham was most welcome for the level of purpose and intensity we showed, and more against the Gunners would be just the ticket. Arsenal are again riding high this season, but have been battling for wins rather than blowing teams away with attacking football like they did for most of last season, when they ultimately fell short thanks to City's usual 15-games-on-the-bounce …

Not a full round of fixtures as some clubs are on their winter break but there were a fair few games this weekend and most of the results went fairly well for us. There was one exception of course, the fucking cheating cunts pulled within two points of us at the top and I’m not gonna lie, I’ve got this sense of burning injustice welling up inside me already. If we lose out to them by a point or two again, after what happened at Spurs and with them having 115 charges hanging over them seemingly indefinitely (I know a date has been set, but their lawyers will find a way to get an extension) while other clubs who have done far less serious crimes are being punish…
