TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Julian Richards to reflect on a pretty wild afternoon at Anfield that ended with Arne Slot's …

The Reds progressed to the League Cup quarter-finals thanks to two brilliant strikes from Cody Gakpo, as well as a Luis Diaz goal to see of some late resistance from the home side. Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW editor Dave Usher to discuss an entertaining game and a decent performance from the much-changed Reds, before looking ahead …

Honours even at the Emirates as Mo Salah's second half equaliser earned the Reds a point in a game where neither side will probably be happy with how they played. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Ian Brown to reflect on a good result but patchy performance that means Liverpool have relinquished top spot to Man City. The lads also …

Chris Smith is your host alongside Ian Brown and TLW Editor Dave Usher as the lads discuss an enjoyable night and also look ahead to a huge game at Arsenal thi…

The Reds remain top of the league after a hard fought and not always convincing win over Chelsea at Anfield.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Dan Thomas to look back on an eventful and ultimately satisfying afternoon at Anfi…

Another win, another clean sheet, another fairly underwhelming display.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to discuss the w…

Eight wins from nine games for Arne Slot now, as the Reds did enough to overcome a spirited Bologna side who will probably feel they did enough to deserve something from the game. Last season's Europa League pod line up are re-united for this one as Chris Smith is joined by John Brennan and TLW Editor Dave Usher.…

Goals from Konate and Salah sent the Reds to the top of the table despite a somewhat below par performance at Wolves.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and Stu Montagu to reflect on the game and wax lyrical about how great Ryan Gravenberch is. There's a…

That's more like it. After two disappointing results at Old Trafford last season, the Reds set the record straight with a drama free, routine 3-0 win over the old enemy as Arne Slot secured his crown as King of the Dutch Baldies.

Chris Smith and TLW Editor Dave Usher give their immediate reaction to the news, while also discussing the signing of a new goalkeeper who won't…

Goals from Luis Diaz and Mo Salah gave Arne Slot a win on his Anfield debut to maintain the Reds 100% start to the season. It was a day full of positives but there was a sour taste left by the pouty antics of Trent after being subbed. Chris Smith is joined by John Gallagher and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a mostly satisfying afternoon, ta…

The Arne Slot era got underway with a win, a clean sheet and some sensational football in the second half.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Julian Richards to look ba…

The Reds blew a 3-1 lead late on to draw at Aston Villa and even needed a world class save from Alisson to avoid an embarrassing defeat as the limp to the finish line continues. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss the late capitulation before moving onto other topics, such as who will and won't be crying wh…

Chris Smith is joined by John Brennan and TLW Editor Dave Usher to briefly pick through the bones of this stinker before tryi…

It goes from bad to worse as a second home defeat in four days has put the Reds right up against it now in the title race. Arsenal's defeat softens the blow somewhat but City are the big winners this weekend and now sit top. We've seen how this movie ends. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and John Gallagher to try to make sense of it …

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 …

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 …

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.

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 t…

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Jo…

Luton Town were caught in a second half whirlwind as the Reds overcame a half time deficit to blow away the plucky Hatters. Goals from Van Dijk, Gakpo, Diaz and Elliott completed a terrific turnaround that Jurgen Klopp compared to *checks notes* erm, the win over Barcelona. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to look back …

A big win that looks to have come at something of a cost. The Reds made a tricky fixture look easy but lost three players to injury and at least one of them looks to be very serious, but Salah was back with a goal and we're still top of the league. Chris Smith is joined by Ian Brown and TLW Editor Dave Usher to pick the bones out of an eventful gam…
