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 days ago, knowing they don't need to be called to action against AC Milan (yes we have slaughtered the group of death). And what more can we say about Big Divock Origi that has not yet been said? At this point I'm convinced he will continue to have these Big Di...

Crap... | Liverpool 2-2 Brighton & Hove Albion | Game Review
Brighton & Hove Albion have quietly become a nuisance to play against.

Truth be told, the way we played that second half I'm more than glad we got a point from the game.

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 International break eat your heart out!

SUB-lime! | Liverpool 2 - 1 West Ham United | Game Review
I can get very used to seeing this Shaqiri through ball for Jota finish combination we have enjoyed for the second time in five days. Both players came off the bench to put some life into a till then lacklustre Liverpool display. Special shout out to the "older than you realize" Nat Phillips who reminded us all that there is absolutely nothing wrong with the clear-on-sight style of defending, especially when you are missing Mr. Coolness Personified in the heart of the defence. In the end Liverpool came out 2-1 victors over VAR...I mean West Ham.
