Liverpool 2 Everton 0 - Match Reaction

Well that's more like it. A win, a good performance, Mo back in the goals, Gakpo off the mark and Everton still in the bottom three. All in all a good night's work for the Reds.

Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher to bask in the glow of yet another Anfield derby win and a vastly improved performance. It's too soon to ask if "we're back" but this was definitely a much needed step in the right direction.

Wolves 3 Liverpool 0 - Match Reaction

Another abysmal away day for the Reds. Three goals conceded for the third Premier League away fixture in a row and a third blank in four games for the attackers. Just miserable stuff.

TLW Editor Dave Usher and Julian Richards conduct the post-mortem and look ahead with some trepidation to the next fixture - a home derby against a re-invigorated Everton.

Brighton 2 Liverpool 1 - FA Cup Match Reaction

The defence of the FA Cup came to an end with a massive late kick in the nuts. The performance was vastly improved on the last time the Reds played at the Amex Stadium but the result hurt just the same.

Chris Smith was joined by Julian Richards and Ian Brown right on the final whistle to share their immediate thoughts on the latest setback in a season full of them.

Liverpool 0 Chelsea 0 - Match Reaction

Two very average teams produced a very average game on a freezing cold day at Anfield. There's not too much more to say about that but somehow we managed to get over an hour's worth of content out of it for you.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Dan Thomas to look back on this and look forward to next week's rematch with Brighton in the FA Cup.

Wolves 0 Liverpool 1 - FA Cup Match Reaction

Harvey Elliott's brilliant strike was enough to sink Wolves and keep the Reds defence of the FA Cup alive.

A much changed line up produced a competent, diligent display to keep the hosts quiet and set up a quick return trip to Brighton.

Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and Dave Usher for a fun look back on what was a night full of positives.

Brighton 3 Liverpool 0 - Match Reaction

Many fans feel this was the worst display since Klopp has been at the club, while the man himself described it as the worst he's seen at any club he's managed.

It was bad. Really bad. So what now? Can we rally and still salvage something from the season or are these problems terminal? TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Ian Brown to sift through the wreckage.

 

Liverpool 2 Wolves 2 - FA Cup Match Reaction

Another disappointing display means the Reds will have to win a replay at Molineux if they are to keep their hopes of retaining the trophy alive.

Chris Smith and Dave Usher reflect on a poor performance in which Liverpool's strongest available line up needed a contentious late VAR decision to avoid being dumped out by a heavily rotated Wolves side. The lads also look ahead with some trepidation to next week's trip to Brighton. 

Brentford 3 Liverpool 1 - Match Reaction

Calamitous in defence and sterile in attack. 2023 got off to a miserable start for the Reds as they were deservedly beaten by Brentford and missed the chance to leapfrog Spurs in the race for a top four spot.

TLW Editor Dave Usher tries to make sense of it with John Gallagher and Julian Richards. So much for 'Happy New Year'.

Liverpool 2 Leicester City 1 - Match Reaction

It was far from convincing but it's three more points. The Reds gave away yet another early goal and needed a helping hand from Leicester defender Wout Faes who chipped in with two own goals to secure the points for Kloppo's boys.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and Stu Montagu to look back on a disappointing and somewhat worrying display in which the midfield was again a big problem and the forwards were profligate once more.

The lads also discuss the potential impact Cody Gakpo can make and speculate on what else might happen in this transfer window.

Aston Villa 1 Liverpool 3 - Match Reaction & Gakpo!

The Reds had to withstand a second half fightback from the home side but stood firm to record an important win at Villa Park thanks to goals by Mo Salah, Virgil Van Dijk and a first for young Stefan Bajcetic.

Fresh from his sick bed, Chris Smith is joined by Paul Natton and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a satisfying evening in the Midlands, plus the lads discuss the breaking news that Cody Gakpo is on the brink of a move to Anfield.
