"When Hodgson opened his account for the evening, Liam Devlin had already scored FOUR goals in the game. One with his left, two with his right and a bullet header to round off a fine display.
Could Devlin fill the boots of Forshaw? On this occasion his toes were bursting out the front of his boots. Here was a player who was ill-fitted at Huddersfield, so off he trotted to Anfield. And in just three games, he’s posed a new question. How many goals will this player score when getting service like he got tonight. Devlin takes up his position, hangs around the backs, works at will and earnestly, but does not do a jot when it comes to tracking back or helping out those behind him. He is here to score goals, not to get in others way. And if anyone gets in his way, woe betide.
There is no better centre than he who stands at attention and keeps his wing men going. And Devlin ran both Hopkin and Edmed ragged tonight. Collecting balls on the half way line, he immediately places the ball wide. Either side it matters not a jot to Liam.
As the ball reaches the wing, Devlin is already in position waiting for the cross.
Send it in high, he’ll head home.
Send it in low, he’ll drive the ball home.
Send it in waist high, he’ll volley the ball home.
And by far the most bizarre, send it in behind him and he’ll overhead kick it into the goal."
Cody Gakpo's situation at Liverpool has turned into one of those debates where the numbers and the mood in the stands seem to belong to two different players. Seven league goals last season, which marks his worst return since arriving from PSV, and yet Tottenham are apparently circling, with Roberto de Zerbi reportedly viewing him as exactly the kind of forward who could unlock his front line. So which version of Gakpo is the real one?
With the 2025-26 season wrapped up, Arne Slot’s 2024-25 masterpiece remains Liverpool’s most recent league crown and the club's 20th. But talking about "dominance" at Anfield is tricky because it’s never looked the same way twice. It changes with the era.
Not many of Liverpool's forwards have looked or made as big an impression as Djibril Cissé. The Frenchman was known for his explosive speed, finishing, vivid hairstyles and fashion, and brought theatre with him wherever he went.
Liverpool FC and Merseyside Police have expanded efforts to tackle ticket touting after seizing more than £1.2 million in criminal assets linked to organised resale activity.
