Liverpool 0 Atalanta 3 - Match Reaction

Well, that was unexpected. An abject performance against Atalanta, on a night when Anfield pageantry was already in short supply, left the Reds' Europa League hopes in tatters ahead of next week's second leg in Italy.

There were scant positives to take from a monumentally sobering evening, which raised huge question marks over the prospect of this team securing a fitting end to the Jurgen Klopp era.

 

Chris Smith is joined by John Brennan and TLW Editor Dave Usher for this one. 

Manchester United 2 Liverpool 2 - Match Reaction

Another game where the Reds completely battered a sorry Manchester United side, but criminally failed to win. That's three times now, with this one potentially the most damaging of all as top spot has been relinquished to Arsenal.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Stu Montagu to look back - mostly in anger - at a wasteful display that may prove to have dire consequences in the chase for the title.

Liverpool 3 Sheffield United 1 - Match Reaction

The Reds returned to the top of the table after a 3-1 win over bottom club Sheffield United, but it was considerably more stressful than it needed to be and it needed a late thunderbolt from Alexis Mac Allister to break the deadlock before Cody Gakpo wrapped it up in stoppage time.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to reflect on the night's action as well as to discuss the ongoing manager search and preview the huge game at Old Trafford this Sunday.

We'll discuss the many permutations of the run-in and (mostly) keep the disappointment about Xabi Alonso's decision to stay with Leverkusen in check.

Manchester United 4 Liverpool 3 - Match Reaction

The Reds paid the price for not finishing off the opponent when they were on the ropes and suffered the most heartbreaking of Old Trafford losses right at the death.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Stu Montagu for a healing group therapy session and to try and make sense of what happened.

Liverpool 6 Sparta Prague 1 - Match Reaction

Another big win for the Reds over Sparta as Klopp's decision to field a strong line up paid off early, with four goals in the opening quarter of an hour that allowed the rest of the game to be played out as a glorified training session.

Chris Smith is joined by John Brennan and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a fun night at Anfield before then turning their attentions to the big game at Old Trafford at the weekend in the FA Cup.

Liverpool 1 Man City 1 - Match Reaction

Honours even after a pulsating clash at Anfield. The Reds overcame a half time deficit to dominate after the break and Alexis Mac Allister's equaliser was the least Liverpool deserved for a brilliant second half display.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and John Gallagher to look back on a highly charged game that had a controversial ending, as Michael Oliver denied Mac Allister the clearest of penalties with virtually the last kick of the game. 

Sparta Prague 1 Liverpool 5

The Reds fielded a stronger than expected side in Prague and it paid off with a big win that makes the second leg at Anfield a formality, but it may have come at a cost as Ibou Konate was forced off with an injury that makes him a doubt the weekend.

Chris Smith is joined by the usual Europa League line up of John Brennan and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss tonight's game and to look ahead to the big one on Sunday.

Nottingham Forest 0 Liverpool 1 - Match Reaction

Once again the Reds left it late but once again it was an incredible moment and a massive win.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and a just back from the City Ground Julian Richards to look back on another dramatic win for the Reds and to reflect on what it might mean for the rest of the season.
