Liverpool 1 Napoli 0 – Qualified !

Bournemouth 0 Liverpool 4 – Top of the League !!

PSG, Everton & Burnley – poor form, but….

Liverpool have three very different games that I meant to blog about, but, well, you know, time goes by etc. etc. Firstly, Paris St. Germain. Liverpool have improved dramatically defensively, but in Europe, they seem to be somewhat naive and … Continue reading

Palace 0 Liverpool 2 -as tough as they come.

Just like last weekend, the pressure was piled on Liverpool, playing ‘catch-up’ after Manchester City (and others) secured straightforward wins to make it two out of two. This wasn’t exactly the greatest performance you’ll ever see, but it was efficient, … Continue reading
