Mohamed Salah’s 30th Premier League goal of the season helped steer Liverpool to an easy win over Bournemouth.

Liverpool’s Jordan Henderson takes a cheeky dig at Harry Kane after Mo Salah added another Premier League goal to his season tally.
Liverpool were comfortable 3-0 winners against a timid Bournemouth side that only gave them any kind of difficulty once they were two goals down.

Positives
Another goal for Mohamed Salah on a day when he was clearly not at his best. Players expected to be rested instead looked insatiable and tireless. They made it look easy after an exhausting, emotional week in Europe.

Negatives
They weren’t too clinical in their finishing during a one-sided first half which kept the visitors in the game longer…

Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren hails teammate Mo Salah as the Egyptian strikes again to help Reds beat Manchester City 5-1 on aggregate in the Champions League quarterfinal.

There has been something different about Liverpool in recent months. Under Jurgen Klopp, they always had the ability to stun opponents with a spell of brilliance but when things went wrong, a flaw would be exposed.

It did not take much to unnerve Klopp’s side. Doubt crept into their thoughts at the merest hint of resistance. Mistakes preyed on the team’s mind. They could be a soft touch. Yet three games against Manchester City in 2018 illustrate Liverpool’s change in mindset.

At Anfield in the…

Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Sadio Mane discuss their role in helping Liverpool overcome a frustrating first half to down Newcastle.

Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane netted their 32nd and 14th goals in all competitions to lift Liverpool over Newcastle at Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp backs Liverpool’s Mo Salah to win the PFA Player of the Year award after scoring his 32nd goal in all competitions against Newcastle.
Midfielder Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain believes his recent performances have left Thierry Henry and Gary Neville looking “stupid” after questioning his ability to fit in at Liverpool.
There were mixed reactions when the 24-year-old left Arsenal for Anfield on August’s transfer deadline day in a £40 million but the high-profile two former players were firmly in the negative camp.
Neville, briefly Oxlade-Chamberlain’s coach with England, said: “Everyone seems to be eulogising over him but he doesn’t…

Liverpool’s 4-1 win on Saturday might only have been against West Ham at home, but the quality of opposition shouldn’t camouflage all the outstanding features.
In individual terms each player made a significant contribution, from good saves by Loris Karius to the usual goals from season-long stars Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino. Besides, there’s no opposition that can be prefixed as “only” where Liverpool are concerned, as bottom-three teams Swansea and West Brom have already beaten the Reds…

It was always going to be exciting but this one managed to exceed all expectations. Manchester City’s undefeated start to the Premier League season was finally ended as Liverpool produced a typically high-octane display to race into a lead and then, equally typically, almost threw it away late on with poor defensive play. What a game!

Liverpool moved back into the top four with a comprehensive thrashing of bottom club Swansea at Anfield. Only Philippe Coutinho’s brilliant opener separated the sides at half-time but the Reds stepped things up after the break and a brace by Roberto Firmino and impressive strikes by Trent Alexander-Arnold and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain saw the Reds put the game out of sight and ensure the crowd went home happy.

The Exploding Heads present a few must-have’s for fans of the Premier League to put on their holiday wish lists.

Liverpool’s 4-0 win at Bournemouth was a breakout of sorts for Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. The former Arsenal man had initially found it difficult to break into Jurgen Klopp’s starting line-up in the opening months of the season, but week by week he has looked more comfortable and Sunday’s game on the South Coast was his best performance yet.

In some respects, this steady progression is a throwback to the way things used to be at Anfield, when many new signings were not seen by Reds’ supporters for…
