Liverpool 2 Leicester 1

December 31, 2017

 

Hard graft sometimes has to replace artistry and that was the case against the East Midlanders.  At times I thought we were defending by accident because we just couldn't clear the lines but give credit to Leicester for that. I'm just thankful they took Vardy off at 1-1. Not for the first time Mo Salah...

Liverpool 5 Swansea 0

December 27, 2017

 

After three disappointing home draws it was back to the business end against relegation threatened Swansea.  It was a slow burner but once we got going it was a joy to behold. Once again the margin of victory didn't flatter and the second half show alone could have reaped even more spoils but let's settle...

Arsenal 3 Liverpool 3

December 23, 2017

 

Arsenal should have been stuffed like a Christmas Turkey but ended up celebrating a point like a kid with the best Xmas gift ever. Our defence is kinder than Father Christmas and sadly I think Jurgen knows it but seems unable to do much about it. Not many sides will leave The Emirates disappointed they'd...

Bournemouth 0 Liverpool 4

December 20, 2017

 

A good show whatever they might say about the opposition and 4-0 could have been anything upwards of eight.  Good to see the likes of Solanke, Lallana and Ings on the pitch towards the end; that’s sensible rotating during a game.  All three might have even scored and after a two home non-shows this more...

Liverpool 0 WBA 0

December 20, 2017

 

I doubt there’d been a more boring game at Anfield in many-a-day.  The atmosphere was non-existent; the performance on the pitch never even reached the dizzy heights of lukewarm and as far as the ‘Fab Four’ were concerned it was like watching a one of those Tribute bands that hadn’t got a clue.  Karius found...

Liverpool 1 Everton 1

December 11, 2017

 

Starting with the obvious, we should have been out of sight before the Everton penalty.  Mane's miss on halftime was costly, he could have squared the ball and any of three would have had a tap in.  Salah's goal was typical - just brilliant. Was it a penalty, sorry Jurgen if a player does what...

Liverpool 7 Spartak Moscow 0

December 8, 2017

 

I thought we would beat Spartak but I wasn't expecting anything like this.  Three up inside twenty minutes and instead of coasting home we went for the jugular.  Brilliant; and Coutinho was incredible as were Mane, Salah and Firmino.  When you think seven didn't flatter us because seven could have been ten or more it says...

Brighton 1 Liverpool 5

December 5, 2017

 

Sometimes things just go as you would want. Had Manchester City or their less illustrious neighbours won at Brighton in the manner Liverpool did the media and Sky would have been all over them. As it was nobody seemed to be saying too much about how we'd performed. Salah had a quiet game, just set...

Stoke 0 Liverpool 3

December 5, 2017

 

It took awhile but once Salah came on the game changed. The first goal caused Stoke to get upset by Mane scoring meant we were in the driving seat. Mignolet could and probably should have walked but we got away with it.  Enter Salah and the rest was straightforward. Brilliant first goal and happy to...
