THE player ratings from Liverpool’s 2-1 League Cup fourth round win over Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Simon Mignolet: 8 Thought he did very well and showed massive professionalism, given his current situation. Made a couple of very smart saves and has clearly...
NOTHING like a free game when the heat is on. Spurs at home under all those new lights in the League Cup. A Tuesday night too. No tortuous wait ‘til Wednesday. And all in the name of what? Not the league title race, that’s for sure. Everyone wants to win this game, to...
IT’S a full Anfield Wrap day out to Derby. Although we are all going in different ways with different people. Me and Heaton are going with Mick Clarke International Tours (from the Dominican to Derby in less than 48 hours), Neil is getting a lift with Phil...
LAST night was just very enjoyable. It was easy, comfortable, and if you Google ‘stroll in the park’ you’ll be met with a picture of Divock Origi blamming in the third to put a Liverpool side that didn’t need to get out of first gear into the last 16 of a competition...

JÜRGEN Klopp was happy with his side’s professional performance that saw Derby County easily swatted aside by three goals to nil, and secured the Reds a place in the last 16 of the League Cup. Ragnar Klavan’s first goal for the club was followed by second half...
LIVERPOOL eased into the last 16 of the League Cup as Jürgen Klopp’s side showed off their goalscoring dominance with a 3-0 win at Derby County. Ragnar Klavan, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi were all on the scoresheet as the Reds took their tally to 19 goals...
IT’S a good time to be playing Derby. The mighty Rams have scored just two goals all season and are not quite their usual indomitable selves. Excellent. We smell sheep’s blood. We will feast on their lambs. I’m bang up for a game like this. Feel’s like a nice little...
BURTON in midweek put us back on track. Burnley, though not forgotten, seems a less painful memory off the back of five unanswered League Cup goals in the East Midlands. The League Cup always seems to do us a little favour here and there. And that’s what it is this...
