Tottenham Hotspur 1 Liverpool 2 - Match Reaction

Well, it was a win. Not pretty. Not convincing, but it's three points and the Reds are now up to fifth spot and level on points with fourth placed Chelsea after edging out a Spurs side who ended the game with nine men but still had the Champions hanging on grimly.

TLW Editor Dave Usher and Julian Richards look back on this one and try to find some positive things to say after first getting all of the obvious negatives out of the way. Isak scored, so there is that. And Hugo continued his hot streak, so there's that too. And at least we're not Tottenham.

Liverpool 2 Brighton 0 - Match Reaction

A clean sheet and a Hugo Ekitike double ensured the Reds picked up a much needed three points to extend the unbeaten run to five games and take Arne Slot's men into the top six for the first time in what feels like months.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and John Gallagher to look back on a pretty eventful afternoon at Anfield in which Mo Salah got back onto the field, Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch excelled in the middle of the park and Hugo cemented his position as the main man up front. 

Inter Milan 0 Liverpool 1 - Match Reaction

A late Dominik Szoboszlai penalty gave the Reds a much needed and well deserved win in the San Siro against Inter. Arne Slot has had a torrid week but he got exactly what he would have wanted from his players as they restricted Inter to virtually no chances while inflicting their first European home loss for three years.

Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a rare feel good win in what has otherwise mostly been a miserable few months. The lads also discuss the continuing Salah drama and whether it can be resolved.

Leeds United 3 Liverpool 3 - Match Reaction, plus reaction to Salah bombshell

Liverpool's miserable run continued with a 3-3 draw at Leeds on Saturday night. The Reds led 2-0 and 3-2 but, predictably, couldn't hold onto the chance to hop into the Champions League qualification spots.

However, the bigger story came afterwards with Mo Salah's explosive and unprecedented post-match attack on the manager that throws his Anfield future into deep doubt. Dave Usher, Ian Brown and Chris Smith respond in real time as the news broke.

Liverpool 1 Sunderland 1 - Match Reaction

Another disappointment at Anfield as the Reds struggled to a draw against newly promoted Sunderland. The visitors were well worth a point and would have taken all three but for the irrepressible desire and commitment of Federico Chiesa who chased back to prevent a certain goal in stoppage time.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to reflect on yet another uninspiring performance and where we are headed next.

West Ham United 0 Liverpool 2 - Match Reaction

A first Premier League goal as a Red for Alexander Isak and a stoppage time strike from Cody Gakpo secured a much needed win for under pressure Arne Slot at West Ham, as Florian Wirtz caught the eye with a lively performance.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Dan Thomas and Peter Schulz to discuss a rare win for the struggling Reds that can hopefully be the first step on the road to recovery.

Liverpool 1 PSV Eindhoven 4 - Match Reaction

Wow. How bad can this get? As if a 3-0 loss at home to Forest at the weekend wasn't bad enough, the Reds followed it up with a humiliating 4-1 reversal against a vibrant PSV side who took full advantage of Arne Slot's shellshocked side.

Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to try to dissect this shocker.

Liverpool 0 Nottingham Forest 3 - Match Reaction

Another game another loss. Probably the worst one yet, 3-0 at Anfield to a team that went into the game in 19th place. An abject performance in all aspects of the game saw the Reds deservedly lose as the crisis for Arne Slot deepens.

Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher for this one.

Manchester City 3 Liverpool 0 - Match Reaction

A miserable afternoon at the Etihad as the Reds failed to build on the impressive midweek win against Real Madrid and instead produced arguably their worst display of the season. 

Defensively weak, insipid in attack and not helped by Michael Oliver doing Michael Oliver things on VAR, it was a depressing way to go into the international break and there's still lots of work to be done to turn this around.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to try and make sense of another dreadful display.

Liverpool 1 Real Madrid 0 - Match Reaction

Alexis Mac Allister's second half header finally broke the resistance of Thibault Courtois and secured an impressive win for the Reds in what was clearly their best performance of the season so far.

Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher and Julian Richards to bask in the glow of a memorable night at Anfield in which Conor Bradley gave Vinicius Jr the Mbappe treatment, the midfield trio dominated and Florian Wirtz impressed on the left of the front three.
