Liverpool saw Jurgen Klopp off with a win in his final game as manager on Sunday. It wasn’t the prettiest game in the end. With nothing riding on the result and the sun beating down at Anfield, Liverpool played out a comfortable 2-0 win. In reality, with Wolves down to 10 men, it really should have been more. Harvey Elliott stole the show, but at times some of his teammates couldn’t live up to the same billing. One who tried his best was Luis Diaz. The Colombian has been good recently and despite claims that he might leave Liverpool this summer, Diaz is reportedly happy at Anfield. However, th...
Rousing The Kop
Jurgen Klopp was not the only person making his final appearance at Anfield on Sunday. Having been such a huge figure at the club since his arrival in 2015, the day was always going to belong to Jurgen. As he’ll no doubt be keen to point out following the final whistle though, Klopp’s coaching staff will also follow him out of the door this summer. But along with the likes of Pep Lijnders and Peter Krawietz, a couple of the Liverpool playing squad will be leaving, too. The two confirmed departures will be Thiago Alcantara and Joel Matip. And although neither were fit enough to be in the matchd...

Few would have seen this season coming for Jarell Quansah at Liverpool. The centre-back has made extraordinary progress after being loaned out to League One Bristol Rovers last year. So good has Quansah been, that he has now seemingly moved ahead of Ibrahima Konate in the pecking order. With Konate in desperate form, the academy graduate has stepped up. His stunning progress was rewarded in the best way possible on Monday, as the 21-year-old headed home his first ever Premier League goal. It was a lovely finish, too. Jamie Carragher even claimed it to be Cristiano Ronaldo esque. Craning his ne...

Liverpool were left disappointed on Monday night after chucking away a 3-1 lead at Aston Villa. Although they’re technically playing for nothing for the remainder of the season, the Reds were looking good with five minutes to go at Villa Park. Ultimately though, mistakes cost them. Unai Emery might have ‘congratulated’ Liverpool after the game, but there’s good reason for the Reds being in Emery’s good books. They completely handed the game back to Villa. Despite the frustration of conceding two late goals though, there were still positives for Liverpool. The biggest one of the night was undou...

Liverpool played out an entertaining 3-3 draw with Aston Villa in their penultimate game of the season on Monday. The Reds have nothing left to play for heading into the campaign’s finale on Sunday. In truth, that showed at times against Villa. With the home side still pushing for an impressive Champions League finish, it was always going to be tricky for Liverpool. In the end, they battled well and should have won. Sloppy mistakes meant they took just a point home, though. Having seen their team turn a win into a draw, it might have been hard for Liverpool fans to see the positives. They were...

Liverpool returned to winning ways following their 4-2 win over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday at Anfield. Those three points just about keep Liverpool in the Premier League title race, but it’s only a matter of time before it’s over. After Jurgen Klopp and Mohamed Salah hit the headlines for the wrong reasons against West Ham United, it was fitting that it was the Egyptian who opened the scoring against Spurs. It was a deserved lead for the home side and Andy Robertson added to the tally on the stroke of half-time, before Harvey Elliott did his best Salah impression by scoring a stunning curling...
Rousing The Kop
Liverpool came away from another Premier League game with no right to be happy with their performance. The Reds have been badly faltering of late as they limp towards the end of Jurgen Klopp’s time with the club. And after humiliating themselves in the Merseyside Derby on Wednesday, they didn’t come out with any kind of fire to put things right against West Ham. Plenty of fingers could be and were pointed for the game’s opening goal, conceded to Jarrod Bowen. Nevertheless, things did get a little better from there. Andy Robertson was lauded by commentator Ally McCoist for his second-half displ...
Rousing The Kop
Liverpool had to come from behind yet again in the Premier League against West Ham on Saturday. The Reds have made a bad habit of conceding first this season. Far too often Liverpool are leaving themselves with too much to do. To the shock of no one at all, the same happened at the London Stadium today. Despite being surrounded by white shirts, Jarrod Bowen somehow was afforded the space to nod home just before half-time. There were plenty to blame, with Peter Crouch singling out Cody Gakpo for turning his back on the incoming ball. As they’ve done more often that not though, Liverpool got the...
Rousing The Kop
Liverpool once again conceded the first goal during Saturday’s game against West Ham United. The Reds have made a nasty habit of giving up the opening goal over the past couple of seasons. It’s become oh so predictable. So, when Jarrod Bowen leapt to put West Ham in front just before half-time at the London Stadium, no one should have been surprised. That it came from a set-piece after a brilliant Alisson Becker save also was not a shock. How often do we see the Liverpool goalkeeper keep his team in it only to be let down just seconds later. In truth, it was an excellent header from Bowen, not...

Jurgen Klopp made a number of interesting changes for Liverpool’s game against West Ham United on Saturday afternoon. The Reds were looking for a big response after being humbled against Everton in their last match on Wednesday. There were several players who were noticeably poor at Goodison Park. Ibrahima Konate was perhaps the worst of the bunch and was rightfully dropped for the game in East London. But Konate was far from being alone in his troubles. Darwin Nunez was another who drew intense criticism after the game having failed to take a couple of big chances against Everton. Nunez was a...
