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...

Another disappointment at Anfield as the Reds struggled to a draw against newly promoted Sunderland. The visitors were well worth a point and would have taken all three but for the irrepressible desire and commitment of Federico Chiesa who chased back to prevent a certain goal in stoppage time.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Paul Natton to reflect on yet another uninspiring performance and where we are heade...

A first Premier League goal as a Red for Alexander Isak and a stoppage time strike from Cody Gakpo secured a much needed win for under pressure Arne Slot at West Ham, as Florian Wirtz caught the eye with a lively performance.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Dan Thomas and Peter Schulz to discuss a rare win for the struggling Reds that can hopefully be the first step on the road to recovery.

Wow. How bad can this get? As if a 3-0 loss at home to Forest at the weekend wasn't bad enough, the Reds followed it up with a humiliating 4-1 reversal against a vibrant PSV side who took full advantage of Arne Slot's shellshocked side.

Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to try to dissect this shocker.

Another game another loss. Probably the worst one yet, 3-0 at Anfield to a team that went into the game in 19th place. An abject performance in all aspects of the game saw the Reds deservedly lose as the crisis for Arne Slot deepens.

Chris Smith is joined by Julian Richards and TLW Editor Dave Usher for this one.

A miserable afternoon at the Etihad as the Reds failed to build on the impressive midweek win against Real Madrid and instead produced arguably their worst display of the season. 

Defensively weak, insipid in attack and not helped by Michael Oliver doing Michael Oliver things on VAR, it was a depressing way to go into the international break and there's still lots of work to be done to turn this around.

Alexis Mac Allister's second half header finally broke the resistance of Thibault Courtois and secured an impressive win for the Reds in what was clearly their best performance of the season so far.

Chris Smith is joined by TLW Editor Dave Usher and Julian Richards to bask in the glow of a memorable night at Anfield in which Conor Bradley gave Vinicius Jr the Mbappe treatment, the midfield trio dominated and Florian Wirtz impressed...

A much improved defensive showing laid the platform for a much needed win over Aston Villa at Anfield that ended a run of four straight league defeats and took the Reds back up into the top three.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Terry McDonald to discuss a decent night's work at Anfield in which some key players returned to form just in time for a big week ahead.

The Reds miserable run continued as Kryptonite Palace once again did their thing. A much weakened Liverpool line up never stood a chance against the FA Cup holders and the mix of bench players and kids were predictably and ruthlessly exposed by Oliver Glasner's side.

We let Arne Slot select our line up for this pod so everyone has the night off and some random kids have been thrown in at the deep end. Not really, we wouldn't do tha...

Another weekend another defeat. Four in a row now as the Reds are in complete freefall. A poor performance saw Arne Slot's side twice trail Brentford by two goals and although Mo Salah struck late on, it proved to be no more than a consolation goal on the latest miserable trip to London.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Ian Brown and Stu Montagu to talk through a number of big topics from tactics to mentality to Andy Robertson's ...

Florian Wirtz dazzled on his return to the starting line up and Hugo Ekitike netted against his former club as the Reds came from a goal down to steamroller Eintracht 5-1 to end a four game losing streak.

Chris Smith is joined by John Brennan and TLW Editor Dave Usher to reflect on an impressive night's work from Arne Slot's men.

A fourth defeat on the spin as once again the Reds got back into a game they were losing only to then throw it away at the death, this time allowing Harry fucking Maguire to win it for United.

The dust has settled and we recorded this over 24 hours after the game, in truth because none of us wanted to relive it on Sunday night. TLW Editor Dave Usher hosts this one and is joined by John Gallagher and Julian Richards.

Another last gasp winner conceded to round off a miserable seven days in which the Reds have been beaten three times. Cody Gakpo's equaliser looked like it would be the platform for yet another late comeback, but just like last week at Palace it was Arne Slot's men on the receiving end of the late drama.

TLW Editor Dave Usher was joined by Ian Brown and Paul Natton shortly after the final whistle to pick through the bones of this o...

A miserable performance in Turkey saw the Reds slip to a second consecutive defeat as a ridiculous penalty awarded by an overly fussy referee proved to be the difference on a night when neither side produced anything of note.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by Julian Richards and Stu Montagu to pick through the bones of a hugely disappointing display against what was clearly a very poor opponent.

Liverpool suffered their first defeat of the season at Crystal Palace, as the Eagles struck in the 9yth minute to give the reds a taste of our own medicine. It had required a brilliant performance from Alisson to keep Arne Slot’s off-the-pace side just one down at the break, but a much improved second period saw Federico Chiesa bring the Reds level. A sloppy end to the game meant Liverpool surrendered a share of the points.   Chri...

Alexander Isak and Hugo Ekitike were both on target as the Reds booked their place in the next round of the competition despite a below par showing against the Saints.

Chris Smith is joined by Stu Montagu and TLW Editor Dave Usher to discuss a game with a surprising amount of talking points. A top performance from Federico Chiesa, an assured debut from Giovanni Leoni that was sadly marred by what looks like a serious injury, a firs...

Five wins from five in the league and we didn't even need a late winner this time. Goals from Gravenberch and Ekitike capped a brilliant first half for the Reds and although the second half failed to live up to those standards, it's another win to keep the 100% start to the season going.

TLW Editor Dave Usher is joined by John Gallagher and Paul Natton to reflect on a mixed afternoon at Anfield but ultimately a satisfying one.

They've only gone and done it again! Three times this season the Reds have blown a two goal lead only to then win the game in stoppage time. This one didn't ever feel in any doubt, we all knew what was coming and the skipper delivered it.

The Reds left it late yet again as a Mo Salah penalty deep into stoppage time finally broke Burnley's resistance and maintained the Champions 100% start to the new season.

Deadline Day was full of drama and for once the Reds were involved in it. You win some, you lose some, and Arne Slot ended the summer with some incredible signings, while lamenting the one that got away at the last minute.
