Liverpool 1 Man City 0 - Match Reaction

A win and an unexpected clean sheet against a team who until today couldn't stop scoring. The Reds defended brilliantly and Mo Salah did the rest as Kloppo's boys tore up the form book and deservedly inflicted a first defeat of the season on City in a typically incident packed game at Anfield.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and John Gallagher to reflect on a much needed and well deserved victory in which there were top quality performances all over the pitch. Milner was a rock at right back, the two centre halves were impeccable in keeping Haaland quiet, the midfielders were diligent and Mo was dazzling.

Up the Reds!!

 

Rangers 1 Liverpool 7 - Match Reaction

The Reds conceded first yet again but came roaring back to send the home crowd scurrying for the exits long before the full time whistle.

Bobby dazzled, Darwin netted again, Mo bagged a six minute hat-trick and Harvey claimed his first Champions League goal as the boys claimed a much needed morale boosting win ahead of the big game this weekend.

Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to go over all of the main talking points and to look ahead - albeit with some trepidation - to Sunday's clash with City at Anfield.

Arsenal 3 Liverpool 2 - Match Reaction

Plenty of good attacking play was completely undermined by yet more dreadful defending as the Reds slipped to defeat at the Emirates against table topping Arsenal.

Darwin Nunez scored and looked lively through but that was the only crumb of comfort on a miserable day which was made worse by potentially serious injuries to Trent Alexander-Arnold and Luis Diaz.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown to sift through the wreckage and try to make some sense of yet another defensive horror show.

Liverpool 2 Rangers 0 - Match Reaction

A routine win and much needed improvement in performance as the goals from Trent and Mo were enough to see off an outmatched Rangers side at Anfield.

Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to go through all the main talking points, including the formation change, a big night for Trent and a lively but ultimately fruitless outing for Darwen. The lads also look ahead to the weekend's clash with Arsenal. 

Liverpool 3 Brighton 3 - Match Reaction

Bobby dazzled with two goals but a shambolic defensive display cost the Reds two points as Brighton once again proved to be a massive thorn in our side.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and John Gallagher to try to make sense of a mad afternoon at Anfield in which the impressive visitors seemed to be able to slice through Klopp's team at will. With Arsenal and Man City on the horizon, just how worried should we be?

International break recap and Brighton preview

We're back after what seems like an eternity. It's Brighton this weekend so the lads look ahead to that but there is also a lot to discuss from this international break.

Chris Smith is joined by Dan Thomas and TLW Editor Dave Usher to preview the Brighton game and to discuss just what the hell is going on with Southgate and Trent. Also, Chris is mad at his boy Hendo and there are a couple of not to be missed impressions of iconic movie lines.

Liverpool 2 Ajax 1 - Match Reaction

That's more like it! The Reds looked more like themselves but still needed a last gasp header from Joel Matip to secure the win that the performance deserved.

A relieved Chris Smith, Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher look back on a positive night with plenty of positives, both individually and collectively.

 

Napoli 4 Liverpool 1 - Match Reaction

You know things are bad when the Rocky analogies come out and in this episode we've got more of them than you can shake a stick at. The Reds got trounced in Naples as the bad start to the season continued.

Chris Smith is joined by John Gallagher and TLW Editor Dave Usher and the shellshocked trio try to make sense of what happened and ponder where we go from here.

Everton 0 Liverpool 0 - Match Reaction

A great game for the neutral and a result that had the Blues celebrating like they'd won, but somehow it ended goalless as our stuttering start to the season continued.

Not a great performance from Klopp's men but on another day they'd have won this game. Unfortunately the woodwork and an inspired Jordan Pickford conspired to frustrate Liverpool's forward line, while at the other end Alisson needed to be at his world class best to ensure this result wasn't even worse.

TLW Editor Dave Usher and Paul Natton look back on an eventful, entertaining, but ultimately disappointing derby day for the Reds. 

Liverpool 2 Newcastle 1 - Match Reaction

Oh that one was sweet. After being left frustrated by the relentless time wasting and playacting from the opposition, Kloppo's Reds came from behind to win the points with the last kick of the game, which came well over the initially allotted time due to be added on. Karma's a bitch, eh Eddie?

Chris Smith is joined by John Gallagher and TLW Editor Dave Usher who both hotfooted it back from Anfield to have their say on.... hold on, we need to pause as Joelinton's down again...... a dramatic night at Anfield in which the two gems dazzled once again. Harvey and Fab, what a pair.
