No slip ups as Liverpool welcome Stevie G back home | Liverpool 1-0 Aston Villa | Game Review
The last game Steven Gerrard was at Anfield (that mattered) didn't end well for him, and neither did this one. But it's a win/win that we didn't thump Aston Villa. We got the three points, Stevie G got his applause, and Aston Villa saved face. Next game please! Visit…

Wolves get a taste of Fabiago, with a touch of Origi | Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Liverpool | Game Review
This is win number 14 of the 15 games Liverpool have started with that Fabinho and Thiago axis ("Fabiago"). The one drawn game being that Merseyside derby that derailed our season last year. Klopp resisted the temptation to overthink things and settled for the same 11 that thrashed Everton just...

Saints preyed upon at Fourtress Anfield | Liverpool 4-0 Southampton | Game Review
"4-0 to the Reds" seems to be a recurring cry. This was the most routine home victory we've had in a while with the entire team playing near their very best. Visit https://www.theforensickop.com for more! Special Sponsors for the Fall of 2021: Grip On The Go Mobile Device Magnetic Phone Grips…

Topped Gunners | Liverpool 4-0 Arsenal | Game Review
Well, it was worth the wait! With the international break and a couple of uninspiring results, it feels like forever and a day since we've seen this Liverpool team back at their very best. Today's demolition of Arsenal was hardly a 5 star performance, but it was mission accomplished. Stay in...

Crap... | Liverpool 2-2 Brighton & Hove Albion | Game Review
Brighton & Hove Albion have quietly become a nuisance to play against. It was the Danny Welbeck "penalty" call that set things in motion against us last season, and of course they were one of the 6 teams to beat us at Anfield. Truth be told, the way we played that second half I'm more than glad…

What one calls a proper trashing | Manchester United 0-5 Liverpool | Game Review
"One for the ages"..."Wish I was there for that"..."Ole in!!!" That was a watershed MO-ment which might see Liverpool getting another Manchester United manager the sack. But enough about them, this day should belong to Liverpool and a five star performance. Visit https://www.theforensickop.com…

Koptic King... | Liverpool 2-2 Manchester City | Game Review
Wow, what an assist! Oh and Salah's goal was pretty okay too, but if he can continue providing assists like that for the rest of the season we will be quite alright. On the other side it's disappointing to throw away yet another lead(s) in back to back games, but a draw was probably the right...
-
Footie fans everywhere: "I'm Lovin' it!" | Brentford FC 3-3 Liverpool | Game Review
The MacDonald's derby ends in a breathtaking 3-3 draw with Liverpool throwing away a lead twice to silliness in our area. Salah needed to score that sitter to make it 4-2 and kill the game, but we all know what happened. How good is CuJo???? Visit https://www.theforensickop.com for more! Special...

Crosstas Tsimikas, More Mane Milestones and a Naby Lad Leftie: Fact checking the Crystanbul(l) myth | Liverpool 3-0 Crystal Palace | Game Review
Can we finally put Crystanbul(l) to bed? Sadio Mane extends his great scoring run against Palace to 9 games and hits 100 goals for Liverpool. Crosstas Tsimikas looking like the real deal and Naby channels his inner Eric after unleashing a stunner! Visit https://www.theforensickop.com for more!...

Elland Road: Elation, Elliot etc. | Leeds United 0-3 Liverpool | Game Review
We've waited over a decade for a proper Leeds v Liverpool EPL matchup at Elland Road with a crowd and it was well worth the wait for one set of fans at least. Definitely marred by the injury to young Harvey Elliot (let's hope he recovers quickly), but let nobody fool you into believing their red...
-
Classic Huff and Puff | Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea | Game Review
I'm pretty sure if Mourinho were still in charge of Chelsea he would still be raving about a ghost red card. But fair enough to Chelsea they were resolute and if anything could have snatched the game on one of their breakaways even down one player. Klopp may regret not starting Kostas, Jota and...
-
There's no place like Home!!! | Liverpool 2-0 Burnley | Game Review
That Anfield roar is back, and project: Fortress Rebuild is in full swing firmly anchored on a backbone of Van Dijk and Matip. Great full debut for young Harvey Elliot who got 90 minutes, and Kostas was giving Robbo one or two things to worry about on the bench. Visit…

Canaries Keep Crying | Norwich City 0-3 Liverpool | Game Review
Welcome the new season, normal business resumed. No VAR, live crowds, Firmino scores, Big Virg back, Salah not smiling when he misses, and another Carrow Road demolition...smells like team spirit! Visit https://www.theforensickop.com for more! Special Sponsors for the Summer of 2021: Grip On The…

The MbappeCast | France's Loss, Liverpool's Gain? | Neither Here Nor There
Remember when we thought Kylian Mbappe was well out of Liverpool's price range? Well with France now out of the Euro's the transfer tussle for him is about to really heat up. And the good news for Liverpool is that with recent investments we might now actually be closer to signing Mbappe than any...
-
Closure at last!!! | Liverpool 2-0 Crystal Palace | Game Review
And so we come to the end. It's fitting that the season end with a victory against Crystal Palace, with whom our title defence ended with that landslide victory back in...moons ago. Up to third, we are in the Champions League and can comfortably call this season a "blip". Our form in the past ten...
-
Nat Attack!!! | Burnley 0-3 Liverpool | Game Review
So Liverpool through to the final of the Arsene Wenger Cup after a shaky 3-0 victory against the one trick pony Burnley team. Big Nat finally figured out that heading on net is just as easy as heading away from it; our front three back to their wasteful ways; Thiago proving he's just boss; and...
-
Alisson shows front three how it's done | West Bromwich Albion 1-2 Liverpool | Game Review
Wow! We can actually score from corners! makes you wonder why we don't try the in-swinging corners more often. What was better than Alisson's first EPL goal was his heartfelt post-game interview. A must see. Visit https://www.theforensickop.com for more! Special Sponsors for the month of May…

Worth the wait! | Manchester United 2-4 Liverpool | Game Review
What was your favourite worth the wait moment from this famous win? Firmino's first goal(s) against Manchester United in the league; the game being played a week and a few diverted buses later or Klopp finally realizing he needs to play two central defenders in a game, he needs to give Gini a...

Reds double down against their feeder club | Liverpool 2-0 Southampton | Game Review

Seen this movie before... | Liverpool 1-1 Newcastle United | Game Review
Should we be surprised that Liverpool could not find a way to score a second goal despite countless opportunities? Heck the forwards have even welcomed Jota into the fold of "sitter missers". Still trying to figure out why Thiago was taken off when he was and how the EPL champions squander an…
more -
SUPER Average | Leeds United 1-1 Liverpool | Game Review
The classic game of two halves. Never thought the words "we missed Nat Phillips as much as Virgil today" would ever be uttered at Liverpool Football Club, but that was the reality. Good news is Sadio Mane has finally scored, although he seemingly did his best to miss an open net. And on that…
more -
Home Sweet Home (...At Last) | Liverpool 2-1 Aston Villa | Game Review
Aston Villa played their part of the script very well: Away team scores at Anfield on their first meaningful attack after weathering half-decent pressure form Liverpool; VAR screws Liverpool; Liverpool fail to score before half-time. But then comes the twist... Salah scores before 60, Shaq uses…
more -
Routine Away Victory | Arsenal 0-3 Liverpool | Game Review
Until Diogo Jota entered the game there was a lot of huffing and puffing without really threatening the Arsenal backline. As soon as we get a real striker into the game, the rest is history. Special shout out to "NatBak" with their fourth clean sheet in four starts together: #Duo ! Visit...

Return of the Fab: A Tale of Two Brazilians | Wolverhampton Wanderers 0-1 Liverpool | Game Review
Who was the more influential Brazilian? Fabinho playing in midfield or Firmino not playing at all? We also look a completely different side when playing with two actual central defenders and an actual striker. Who would have thought? Visit https://www.theforensickop.com for more! Special Sponsors...
-
This is now officially what we do | Liverpool 0-1 Fulham | Game Review
One week I will simply copy and paste a summary from a previous game at Anfield and see if anyone notices. The good news is at least we did not have to see the same eleven go out there and play the same dour 0-1 loss at Anfield. The bad news is we got to see a whole new eleven go out and play the...
-
Reds still singing the Blues at Anfield | Liverpool 0-1 Chelsea | Game Review
Just when you thought we were out, Klopp pulled us back in... Why oh why did we revert back to playing midfielders at centre-back? I thought we had finally moved on from this. Why did Firmino play 90 minutes when chasing a game? And why is Ox first off the bench when Naby or Shaq would have been...
-
Fancy that: Defenders defending! | Sheffield United 0-2 Liverpool | Game Review
Win: Check! Clean sheet: Check! Two Central Defenders: Check! Firmino goal: Check(ish)! It really is nice to watch us play as a balanced team again and not having square midfield plugs in round defensive holes. I'm still waiting for Firmino to score another goal though. Visit...
-
Enough is Enough | Liverpool 0-2 Everton | Game Review
At a loss for words. VAR, injuries, toothless attack...The two positives are: 1) We have already hit the 40 point mark so we are safe! 2) We are still breaking records this season: First time we have lost four league games in a row at Anfield in almost 100 years. BOOM! Visit...
-
Why Always Us??? | Liverpool 1-3 Leicester City | Game Review
Do you know how many points Liverpool have dropped due to being on the wrong side of VAR? "It doesn't matter!" [Rock voice]. As fans we can't be blamed for starting to feel disconnected and drained by the consistency of Liverpool's poor results, but in the words of Stevie G: "We go again!" The…

Shambolic! | Liverpool 1-4 Manchester City | Game Review
Thank goodness there were no fans at Anfield to witness that shambles. So focusing on the positives: 1) We scored our first goal at Anfield in 2021, 2) We are first place in the battle for the final Champions League position, and 3) I kept Gundogan in my Fantasy EPL lineup. I think that's it......

Bottom Six Bogeys | Liverpool 0-1 Brighton & Hove Albion | Game Review
Ok...The fortress has been breached and there are opposing players running around inside being given the freedom of Anfield. The good news is nothing wakes up the sleeping Liverpool juggernaut like a game against the very best. The bad news is...well Manchester City are the very best. Let's put...

Bubble Bursting and Hammer Hammering | West Ham 1-3 Liverpool | Game Review
Back to back Capital Gains as Liverpool wins 3-1 in London for the second time in a week. Nat Phillips' performance has us all asking why on Earth we've been putting poor Rhys Williams through all of this these past few games. Can Liverpool still the title? Next week's showdown with Manchester…

Fortress Anfield South to the Rescue! | Tottenham Hotspur 1-3 Liverpool | Game Review
Back to scoring ways... back to winning ways...back to smiling ways! Not quite the vintage performance, but one reminiscent of the side we've watched for the past three seasons. Will Matip and Fabinho's timely injuries save Liverpool's season as we enter the final weekend of the January transfer...
-
Can we just go back to 2020? | Liverpool 0-1 Burnley | Game Review
Burnley do us again! Last season they were the only team to take any points away from Anfield in the league, and this year they went one better (well two) and left with all three! But the biggest shock is that we Liverpool fans were not really shocked. Dark days ahead? Visit...
-
Toothless Records | Liverpool 0-0 Manchester United | Game Review
In a classic six pointer, there were no winners or losers...in fact there was not much of anything in this over-hyped clash of England's two biggest clubs. Not sure we learned much from the game other than it's going to be one heck of a battle for top four this season! Visit...
-
More Pointlessness | Southampton 1-0 Liverpool | Game Review
Happy New Year! Well, except you are Liverpool. This loss has been coming for a few weeks now with the Crystal Palace proving a false dawn. The Reds came unstuck by a former teammate, and Klopp gets outfoxed by his Alpine version. Pointless... Visit https://www.theforensickop.com for more!…

Mane and Mo to Go? | Hypothetically Speaking...

Drab (yet again) | Newcastle United 0-0 Liverpool | Game Review
The only thing good that came out of this game is somehow we are still the best team in the country and ending 2020 in first place. That and Thiago hopefully remaining fit for the rest of the season. Visit https://www.theforensickop.com for more! Special Sponsors for the month of December 2020:...
-
Stale Mates... | Liverpool 1 - 1 West Bromwich Albion | Game Review
Let's be honest, this result at Anfield was coming the moment it was announced that Sam Allardyce would be taking over WBA. He played a blinder in lulling Liverpool into a false sense of security, but without that elusive second goal it was a matter of time before they equalized and on another…

O-VAR-estimated | Fulham 1-1 Liverpool | Game Review
Liverpool returned to the EPL after their mid-week Danish escapade and almost left London empty handed. VAR did us a few favours, and Mo Salah's penalty technique is about to be found out in a major way. All will be forgotten with a top of the table clash victory against Spurs... Visit...

FAN-Tastic Return for the Reds | Liverpool 4 - 0 Wolverhampton Wanderers | Game Review
This was almost the perfect day for Liverpool: Fans were back, along with a YNWA rendition and some Klopp fist pumps; Van Dijk in the crowd; clean sheet; amazing first EPL game for Kelleher; amazing first EPL game for Kellher; Gini took a shot; Matip had a header on target; Salah gave Mane his...

A Game of Two Toes | Brighton 1-1 Liverpool | Game Review
Liverpool's winning streak against VAR United came to an end in a 3-1 loss disguised as a 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion. Liverpool should have been out of sight in the first ten minutes but allowed VAR to get back into the game and kill it in the 90th minute with a breakaway goal. Visit...

Foxes in the Box! | Liverpool 3 - 0 Leicester City | Game Review
For the second time in two seasons Liverpool outfox Leicester City and comprehensively prove they are not in the same class of title contenders. Goals from boyhood Liverpool fan Jonny Evans (thank you!), Jota and Firmino were the difference in a quite one sided affair. Covid, VAR and…
