It’s not too often Manchester City fans can celebrate a United win, but perhaps Sunday was a rare exception. Before United’s FA Cup quarter-final with Liverpool kicked off, there were two contrasting schools of thought among City fans. Would a United win inflict a mental blow on Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp that could prove critical to the Premier League title race? Or would City prefer Liverpool to win and have extra games in their legs, even if it meant meeting Klopp’s side in the cup? In the end, City shouldn’t be too disappointed with what happened on or off the…
Former striker turned pundit Alan Shearer has heaped praise on Manchester United star Marcus Rashford after his impressive display in an emphatic victory over Liverpool in the F.A Cup quarter-final. The Red Devils started the game promisingly and found the opener courtesy of Scott McTominay’s early strike. But, as the game went on the visitors settled down and showcased their qualities. Jurgen Klopp’s side scored two quick-fire goals right before half time and United looked shell-shocked at that time. Following the interval Liverpool dominated for the large part of the second half and created several opportunities to extend the lead…
If you could try and pick everything you don’t want your captain to be, you couldn’t find many better candidates than Bruno Fernandes and this was on show in our game against Manchester United. After giving the ball away for our second goal and then getting booked for his petulance, the Portuguese midfielder then proceeded to keep moaning at the referee but with no further repercussions. Not only this but the Old Trafford skipper then threw himself into a tackle on Dominik Szoboszlai on the edge of the box and Neil Mellor has been convinced that it should have ended…
Liverpool fans won’t need reminding that we lost to Manchester United but this tough moment has allowed Virgil van Dijk an opportunity to prove once again why he’s captain. The Dutchman doesn’t just lead by example on the pitch but he also shows acts of leadership in other moments, such as this one with Darwin Nunez. Our No.9 was visibly distraught after watching the game slip away from our grasp and end up missing out on the FA Cup semi-final. The action from his skipper to take the shirt off his teammates face and pat him on the back was…
There are countless reasons why Liverpool’s incredible fifth European Cup win will be remembered and celebrated by fans for as long as the club exists. The amazing comeback from three goals down at half-time against a star-studded AC Milan team, the Reds reclaiming their title as Kings of Europe after a long 21-year wait, and Rafa Benitez’s team silencing the taunts of Everton fans who were thrilled that their team finished above Liverpool and qualified for the Champions League play-offs, just to name a few. That sense of redemption also applies to several of the Liverpool players who became legends…

Former Premier League referee Mike Dean has responded to an apparent ‘sarcastic’ jibe from Jürgen Klopp after Liverpool’s draw with Manchester City last weekend. The Reds thought they should have had a penalty in the closing moments when Jérémy Doku caught Alexis Mac Allister in the chest with a high foot. Referee Michael Oliver did not point to the spot while VAR also opted against intervening. The draw ultimately saw Liverpool lose top spot in the Premier League and Klopp was not happy with the decision after the game. While many pundits disagreed on whether a penalty should have been…
