Liverpool 4 Barnsley 1 - Match Reaction

Four excellent goals lit up an otherwise fairly drab evening at Anfield as the Reds booked their place in the FA Cup fourth round where they will face Brighton. Szoboszlai went from hero to villain in one half, while Wirtz and ekitike both came off the bench to score late on.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to look back on this game, as well as react to the news that Xabi Alonso is now on the market and discuss how that might impact Arne Slot's position.

Arsenal 0 Liverpool 0 - Match Reaction

A bore draw in which the Reds comfortably kept the league leaders in check while offering very little goal threat of their own. Still, a point at Arsenal is nothing to be sniffed at, especially when your entire forward line is missing.

Chris Smith is joined by Dave Usher to discuss a somewhat encouraging showing marred by what looks like a bad injury to poor Conor Bradley.

Fulham 2 Liverpool 2 - Match Reaction

Cody Gakpo's stoppage time goal had looked to have given the Reds victory at Fulham only for a once in a lifetime strike from Harrison Reed to deny Arne Slot's men at the death. In truth, a draw was a fair result. 

Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on this one and preview this week's ominous looking trip to Arsenal.

Liverpool 0 Leeds United 0 - Match Reaction

The unbeaten run stretches to eight but it was a tough watch as Liverpool and Leeds barely landed a glove on eachother in a New Year's Day bore draw at Anfield.

Ian Brown and Julian Richards join TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a real snoozefest to kick 2026 off.

TLW Time Team - The 1995 Coca Cola Cup Win

And now for something completely different! Join TLW's number one Dan Thomas and the resident left peg John Gallagher for a stroll down memory lane in the maiden voyage of TLW Time Team!

The boys go back in time all the way to 1995 to remember the 1995 Coca Cola Cup triumph as they reminisce about two legged round two ties, goalkeepers wearing caps and iconic Barry Davies commentary.

 

Liverpool 2 Wolves 1 - Match Reaction

The Reds are up to fourth after first half goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz secured the points against Wolves at Anfield. The first half performance was good, the second not so much, but it's seven games unbeaten now and Wirtz is off the mark at last.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton to reflect on the game and look ahead to the clash with Leeds on New Year's Day.

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.
