Liverpool are set for another battle with the Egyptian FA after officially asking them to exclude Mo Salah from the March friendlies. Salah had his African Cup of Nations tournament ended early after suffering a hamstring injury, and after a lay-off he returned to Liverpool action against Brentford on the 17th of February playing the second 45 minutes where he scored and produced a assist in the 4-1 victory. However bad news was to come in the aftermath of that game when the winger sustained a muscular injury which was apparently linked to his original ailment. There was always apprehension and caution attached in regards to how to brin…

Once again the Reds left it late but once again it was an incredible moment and a massive win. Klopp's mentality monsters were on the brink of dropping two points and perhaps ending the weekend in third spot, but up popped returning substitute Darwin Nunez to win it and spark manic celebrations in the away end. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and a just back from the City Ground Julian Richards to look back on another dramatic win for the Reds and to reflect on what it might mean for the rest of the season.

Jurgen Klopp has admitted that there is no time scale regarding a return to first team action for Alisson. The Brazilian keeper last played for the Reds exactly a month ago in the 3-1 defeat to Arsenal. He then missed the next game against Burnley with the flu before recovering from that and was set to play against Brentford on the 17th of February before injuring his hamstring at the last training session. From the moment he sustained that injury, Klopp indicated to say that it would not be a quick return from this setback, and speaking ahead of the fixture against Nottingham Forest, the manager went into a bit more detail as the Mirr…

I’ll kick things off at Old Trafford where the Mancs lost in comical fashion to Fulham. United had five wins in a row and were unbeaten in 2024 going into this. Some had been fooled by that and were thinking they were turning things around. Shit, Gary Neville was even predicting they’d beat Spurs and Villa to a top four spot. It never ceases to amaze me how people can allow themselves to be so influenced by results and completely ignore what they see with their own eyes. Klopp always talks about how important the performances are in terms of knowing where you are at as a team. If we win and play shit, he’ll say so and he’ll say that we need to be better next t…

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. A Saturday 3:00pm kick-off? We roll into Nottingham off the back of 3 displays over the past week where our youngsters were prominent. They have been outstanding, but they've also been necessary as we've been decimated by injuries. It's annoying enough when players drop out due to something picked up (or aggravated) in training, but it's frustrating as hell to see players picking up significant injuries or re-aggravating old ones during matches. While Jurgen and his staff (and the players) have been admirable in their adaptability, …

Three goals, another clean sheet and the kids step up. A perfect evening’s work then. Yes, it is I, Dan Thomas, to regale you with the tales of a midweek win in the FA Cup 5th round. Instead of a cup goalkeeper, Dave has cup match report writers! It wasn’t as straightforward as the scoreline suggests but we’ll come to that. This result stands squarely on the shoulders of Liverpool’s Academy. It feels like we could have at least two breakout kids to step up into the first team in Bobby Clark and Jayden Danns, and James McConnell isn’t that far behind either if not an equal in the conversation. The Academy is in the best place it has been for a long, long time.…

The kids did it again! Goals from 18 year old Youth Team duo Lewis Koumas and Jayden Danns saw off Southampton at Anfield as the young Reds set up a quarter final clash at Castle Greyskull. Chris Smith is joined by John Brennan and TLW Editor Dave Usher to bask in the glory of another great night for the Academy and to look ahead to the game at Forest this weekend. View full article

Jurgen Klopp has pleaded for Liverpool’s next generation of talent to be able to focus on their own game and grow in an organic sense. Jayden Danns continued the week of his dreams on Wednesday evening when he scored two goals while his academy teammate. Lewis Koumas scored on his first-team debut as Liverpool registered a 3-0 win against Southampton to move into the Quarter-Final of the FA Cup where they will meet Man United at Old Trafford. Following the euphoria of Sunday’s dramatic Carabao Cup Final win against Chelsea, attention turned to this midweek tie, and just what sort of line-up the manager would be able to field. Some of th…

Have a mate who follows the academy quite closely and he told me that he'd be surprised if Koumas didn't make it at the top level. Born after Istanbul and he's finishing like that on his debut? You wouldn't bet against him, would you?

Bayern Munich have identified Andy Robertson as a prime transfer target as it is believed that Alphonso Davies will move to Real Madrid. The Canadian left-back has reportedly reached a verbal agreement with the Spanish giants to join them either at the end of this season or when his contract expires in 2025. Bayern have their work cut out in retaining their Bundesliga title this season as the Xabi Alonso led Bayer Leverkusen is currently eight points clear. Losing a key member of their squad will come as a major blow, but they have a drawn up a number of options and as the Daily Mail reports, the Liverpool left-back has been earmarked a…

Last time I wrote: "The front five are now up to 57 for the season and will go close to 100. The team is up to 84 and will go through the 100 barrier sometime in late-February, early-March and could hit 130 or more by the end of the season. We’ve done this before and not got the rewards we deserved in terms of trophies, so there are no guarantees, but with those numbers, we are going to be in contention – and the supporters likely on valium – for the rest of Klopp’s reign." Well, I had to get something right after the injury jinx I ‘cursed’ the squad with on the pod! I wrote that just after the Norwich game on the 28th of January and since then, things have go…

Thought he deserved his own thread as the other young lads all had one. His performance in extra time on Sunday was exceptional. I'd go as far as to say I thought for that 30 minutes he was the best player on the pitch after a slow-ish start when he first came on. There was a stat floating around about how he touched the ball twice as many times as both Enzo and Caicedo in that time and the things that stood out to me where that he was always available for the ball and that he used it really well. He just brought a calmness that was way beyond what you'd expect of someone that age. Time will tell on his level but there's definitely pote…

I can’t really think of an intro for this. I don’t know where I’ll end up going in this report either as there’s so much to cover and my mind is racing off in all kinds of different directions. I’ll start with Klopp’s assertion that it’s his most special final. It’s not mine, that is always going to be Istanbul, but I think this might be second you know. Doesn’t matter that it’s the League Cup and not one of the bigger prizes. It’s all about context and when you factor in everything that ultimately led to this victory, and how it made us all feel, this is right up there when it comes to the level of achievement. So much was against us going into the game, and …

Looks really comfortable on the ball for a kid. Completely at home in a Wembley final, like the other young fellas. Maybe being the son of a well known player makes him calmer as he’d have been around this stuff his whole life. Another huge prospect.

A reflective Jurgen Klopp has described Liverpool’s thrilling 1-0 win over Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final as the most special trophy in his career. Liverpool arrived at Wembley Stadlum with a patched-up squad already missing quite a few first team regulars and with the confirmation that Mo Salah and Darwin Nunez would take no part in the showcase final it was an added blow. But if we know anything about this Liverpool team under the German, it is that they thrive on adversity, if someone is missing, another player steps up to the mark and play their role with aplomb. This was taken to extreme levels in the closing 20 minutes of regul…

What a day! The Reds secured a tenth League Cup with a dramatic extra time win over Chelsea at Wembley to keep us on course for a glorious end to the Jurgen Klopp era. A true captain's goal from Virg averted the drama of a shoot out, following another topsy turvy final in which fortune favoured the brave. However, it was the Reds Academy graduates rising to the occasion against the billion dolla blues that will live long in the memory. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards, Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher to celebrate a win that sits proudly amidst the pantheon of our all-time great final triumphs. View full article

He was a proper handful when he came on today. Just as the Tory cunts were hoping to coast towards penalties, he just kept running at them and causing problems.

Work-rate. Incisiveness. Nous. I don't ask for much. This is how it's gonna be. Build from the ground up. This game is live on ITV. One of those games where I'm sure both teams would have preferred a rest week. For Southampton, it's because they are in a fight with the likes of Leeds and Ipswich for an automatic promotion place (maybe even with Leicester, who've recently managed to rekindle their Premier League form of last season, with that Toploader-looking fuck Wout Faes and his own goals to the fore, though they still hold a significant lead in the table). If Southampton go on a cup run, that generally means having crucial league ga…

Andy Robertson has given Conor Bradley a major tick of approval as the young Northern Irishman fits in seamlessly into the Liverpool starting line-up. A revelation at League One outfit Bolton Wanderers last season, Bradley has shown that he is not overawed in the big step up in quality, playing in front of packed stadiums and filling the role of a World Class talent in Trent-Alexander-Arnold. Today against Chelsea is the kind of fixture that any Footballer dreams of, a Cup final at Wembley Stadium, let alone an academy graduate that will be making his 17th senior appearance for his club. The usual discussion after the closur…

Monday Feb 19: Klopp said something to the press on Friday in amongst all the Alonso stuff that I thought was a little odd. I didn't include it last week because there wasn't really anything to say about it, it was probably nothing. It was about Mbappe and the quote was 'Obviously, I'm not involved in that, but I can tell you I'd be surprised if all the top clubs were,' Klopp said. 'The top clubs I know, for most of them it will be tricky. Wages, signing-on fee.' The reason I thought it was odd is because the market will set the price. If Mbappe is a free agent he has to sign for someone and if nobody is willing to pay him what he's on at PSG then …

Mauricio Pochettino has looked to gain a psychological blow ahead of the Carabao Cup final by aiming to play the ‘officials ‘card’ and hoping the occasion is not decided by emotion. The Chelsea manager is still clearly aggrieved by what he feels were wrong decisions as his team were convincingly beaten by Liverpool last month. With Jurgen Klopp moving on at the end of the season, there has been a lot of articles written about the legacy of the German and what it will mean for Liverpool moving forward. Pochettino was at pains to explain that this is in no way a criticism of Klopp, but more so decisions be judged fairly for both sides as …
