The Reds overcame an uninspiring opening half an hour that saw them fall behind to bounce back emphatically with a 4-1 win over Newcastle in which once again the flourishing partnership of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike came to the fore.  Ekitike scored twice and Wirtz added a third before an emotional Ibou Konate honoured his late father with a goal at the Kop end. TLW Editor Dave Usher and Paul Natton look back on an enjoyable night at Anfield and look ahead to what will hopefully be another against City next week.

Six goals and a clean sheet for the Reds as they continued to show that the open brand of Champions League football suits them far better than the attritional set-piece warfare of domestic football. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Stu Montagu and Pete Schulz to reflect on a fun evening, while also looking ahead to the weekend's clash with Newcastle and discussing the broader topic of injuries, transfers (or lack of) and Arne Slot's future.

The Reds' unbeaten limp came to an abrupt end as Bournemouth scored with the very last kick of the game to win at the Vitality Stadium. Liverpool had come from 2-0 to level but the closing stages were end to end and both teams had chances to win it before the Cherries' last gasp goal. Chris Smith and Dave Usher react to a tough one and discuss how this five game winless run in the league might impact the job security of Arne Slot.

Another good night in Europe saw the Reds come away with an impressive 3-0 win to put themselves in a great position to secure a spot in the knockout stages without having to go through the playoff route.  Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a satisfying night in which the summer signings continued their excellent good form of late, Dom Szoboszlai scored a clever free-kick and Mo Salah returned to the fold following AFCON. We even had a 'cut inside and score' moment from Cody!

A fourth consecutive draw in the league but the unbeaten limp extends to 12 games. In fairness, the performance was much better than the result and there was a lot to like, specifically the performance of Florian Wirtz who was outstanding. Julian Richards joins TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on this one and look ahead to Marseille in midweek.

Four excellent goals lit up an otherwise fairly drab evening at Anfield as the Reds booked their place in the FA Cup fourth round where they will face Brighton. Szoboszlai went from hero to villain in one half, while Wirtz and ekitike both came off the bench to score late on. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton and Dan Thomas to look back on this game, as well as react to the news that Xabi Alonso is now on the market and discuss how that might impact Arne Slot's position.

A bore draw in which the Reds comfortably kept the league leaders in check while offering very little goal threat of their own. Still, a point at Arsenal is nothing to be sniffed at, especially when your entire forward line is missing. Chris Smith is joined by Dave Usher to discuss a somewhat encouraging showing marred by what looks like a bad injury to poor Conor Bradley.

Cody Gakpo's stoppage time goal had looked to have given the Reds victory at Fulham only for a once in a lifetime strike from Harrison Reed to deny Arne Slot's men at the death. In truth, a draw was a fair result.  Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on this one and preview this week's ominous looking trip to Arsenal.

The unbeaten run stretches to eight but it was a tough watch as Liverpool and Leeds barely landed a glove on eachother in a New Year's Day bore draw at Anfield. Ian Brown and Julian Richards join TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on a real snoozefest to kick 2026 off.

And now for something completely different! Join TLW's number one Dan Thomas and the resident left peg John Gallagher for a stroll down memory lane in the maiden voyage of TLW Time Team! The boys go back in time all the way to 1995 to remember the 1995 Coca Cola Cup triumph as they reminisce about two legged round two ties, goalkeepers wearing caps and iconic Barry Davies commentary.  

The Reds are up to fourth after first half goals from Ryan Gravenberch and Florian Wirtz secured the points against Wolves at Anfield. The first half performance was good, the second not so much, but it's seven games unbeaten now and Wirtz is off the mark at last. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Paul Natton to reflect on the game and look ahead to the clash with Leeds on New Year's Day.

Well, it was a win. Not pretty. Not convincing, but it's three points and the Reds are now up to fifth spot and level on points with fourth placed Chelsea after edging out a Spurs side who ended the game with nine men but still had the Champions hanging on grimly. TLW Editor Dave Usher and Julian Richards look back on this one and try to find some positive things to say after first getting all of the obvious negatives out of the way. Isak scored, so there is that. And Hugo continued his hot streak, so there's that too. And at least we're not Tottenham.

A clean sheet and a Hugo Ekitike double ensured the Reds picked up a much needed three points to extend the unbeaten run to five games and take Arne Slot's men into the top six for the first time in what feels like months. TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and John Gallagher to look back on a pretty eventful afternoon at Anfield in which Mo Salah got back onto the field, Curtis Jones and Ryan Gravenberch excelled in the middle of the park and Hugo cemented his position as the main man up front. 

A late Dominik Szoboszlai penalty gave the Reds a much needed and well deserved win in the San Siro against Inter. Arne Slot has had a torrid week but he got exactly what he would have wanted from his players as they restricted Inter to virtually no chances while inflicting their first European home loss for three years. Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher to look back on a rare feel good win in what has otherwise mostly been a miserable few months. The lads also discuss the continuing Salah drama and whether it can be resolved.

Liverpool's miserable run continued with a 3-3 draw at Leeds on Saturday night. The Reds led 2-0 and 3-2 but, predictably, couldn't hold onto the chance to hop into the Champions League qualification spots. However, the bigger story came afterwards with Mo Salah's explosive and unprecedented post-match attack on the manager that throws his Anfield future into deep doubt. Dave Usher, Ian Brown and Chris Smith respond in real time as the news broke.
