Liverpool 4 Southampton 0 - Match Reaction

The conditions were freezing but the boys were red hot as Southampton were swept aside with the minimum of fuss at Anfield.

Having just about thawed out from the game, TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton to recap the third home win in a highly productive week for the Reds.

Liverpool 2 FC Porto 0 - Match Reaction

Five wins from five as the Reds comfortably took care of Porto with the minimum of fuss. A memorable strike by Thiago and yet another goal for Mo to add to the collection ensured a routine win on a night when young Tyler Morton made an impressive Champions League debut.

Chris Smith is joined by Terry McDonald and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on another satisfying evening under the lights at Anfield and to preview this Saturday's Premier League clash with Southampton.

Liverpool 4 Arsenal 0 - Match Reaction

After a couple of disappointing results the Reds got right back on track with a spanking of Arsenal at Anfield, as the front lads all helped themselves to a goal and Alisson bounced back with a clean sheet.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to reflect on a hugely gratifying win in which there were many stand out performers. Tsimikas caught the eye again, Thiago enjoyed himself on his return to the starting line up, Sadio, Mo and Diogo ran riot, but special credit is reserved the man who did more than anyone to turn the game in Liverpool's favour - Gunners boss Mikel Arteta. Cheers lad!

 

Gerrard to Villa - instant reaction

Steven Gerrard is back in the Premier League as the new manager of Aston Villa, but is this the next step on the ladder to eventually landing his dream job back at Anfield?

Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown, Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher for a lively discussion as to whether this helps or hinders Gerrard in his quest to one day return to Liverpool, and the lads also go back and forth on if this is something we'd even want.

West Ham 3 Liverpool 2 - Match Reaction

The run is over as we finally lost a game. To David Moyes of all people. Ouch. It was a day to forget as Alisson Becker channeled his inner David James and his team-mates did very little to help him out. 

Editor of liverpoolway.co.uk Dave Usher is joined by TLW stalwarts John Gallagher and Stu Montagu to sift through the debris of a disappointing afternoon at both ends of the pitch as the Reds dropped to fourth in table.

Liverpool 2 Atletico Madrid 0 - Match Reaction

A fourth straight win in the Champions League saw the Reds secure first place in the group and advance to the knock out stages, as early goals from Jota and Mané plus a red card for Atletico's Felipe ensured a stress free night at Anfield.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards to go over all the main talking points from the game, including Trent's continued excellence, the return of the 'comfort blanket' Fabinho and the mixed reception received by Luis Suarez.

 

Liverpool 2 Brighton 2 - Match Reaction

What a difference a week makes. From the high of Old Trafford to the low of being outplayed at home by Brighton. Having led 2-0 it feels like two points dropped, but perhaps we should be thankful to even pick up a point given the way Brighton performed in the second half.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Ian Brown to sift through the wreckage of a chastening afternoon at Anfield. Talking points include:

• Has Matip had a raw deal?

• Does Ox have any future here? 

• Is Minamino a midfield option?

• Bigger sick note - Naby or Thiago?

• Stop singing about Solskjaer

• Hey PSG, can we have Gini back on loan in January, pretty please?

Preston 0 Liverpool 2 - A brief recap and then more reflections on Old Trafford!

After the Lord Mayor's Show! The Reds advanced to the last eight of the League Cup with an uninspiring win at Deepdale thanks to goals from Minamino and Origi but it was quite the comedown from the high of Old Trafford. 

Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to have a brief chat about the Preston game before diving straight back in to the incredible humiliation of United last Sunday. The lads also look ahead to a potentially tricky fixture at Anfield this weekend against the high flying Seagulls of Brighton.

Manchester United 0 Liverpool 5 - Match Reaction

5-0 at Old Trafford!!! Yes, that actually happened. It was billed as Salah v Ronaldo but it wasn't even a contest as the Egyptian King carried on his incredible run of form with a hat-trick to leave United broken and humiliated. 

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by a sober Dan Thomas and the definitely not sober duo of Paul Natton and Ian Brown to celebrate one of the most monumental results in the modern era of the club. This is a game that we'll be singing about for generations.

Apologies in advance for some of the sound issues but when two of the lads are shouting and singing it's tricky keeping the sound levels even! You don't want to miss this, it's one for the ages. UP THE REDS!!

 

Atletico Madrid 2 Liverpool 3 - Match Reaction & United preview

The Reds have one foot in the knock out stages following a typically eventful and controversial battle in Madrid. Mo Salah was once again the match winner but Alisson Becker was the star performer as Jurgen Klopp's side found a way to win despite not being at their best. 

Your host Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards, John Gallagher and TLW Editor Dave Usher to unpack the events at the Wanda Metropolitano, as well as taking a look ahead to Sunday's game at Old Trafford.
