343 days ago Jurgen Klopp stood in the centre circle at Anfield and said everything would be fine. He was right. Arne Slot has taken the fast-track into the pantheon of Liverpool greats. What a season, what a team, what a remarkable achievement. www.nytimes.com/athletic/630...

Diogo Jota hasn’t started a PL game since October. It’s time to put that right at Brentford on Saturday. Jota took 22secs to give #LFC what they had been missing when he came on against Forest. They were a different beast with him leading the line. www.nytimes.com/athletic/606...

Diogo Jota took 22 seconds to settle Liverpool’s No 9 debate

The Portuguese offered thrust and threat in saving a point for Arne Slot's side, and deserves the chance to start

FT: #LFC 4 Accrington 0: Liverpool cruise into the fourth round of the FA Cup. The League Two outfit frustrated them for half an hour but then Slot's much changed side took complete control. Jota, Alexander-Arnold, Danns and Chiesa with the goals. A day to cherish for debutant Ngumoha.

HT: #LFC 2 Accrington 0: Goals from Jota and Alexander-Arnold have put Slot's side firmly in control. Some lovely touches from young debutant Ngumoha and Morton has also been really impressive.

Liverpool's flight back from London last night couldn't land at John Lennon due to icy fog. Plane diverted to Birmingham with ground transportation provided for rest of the journey home. Players didn't get back until early hours, training cancelled today. #LFC

Liverpool fired blanks for the first time since Sep as their 24-game unbeaten run was ended. A burning sense of injustice after late controversy, but defensively there are concerns. Too easy to get at with just two clean sheets in past nine matches. #LFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/604...

Liverpool have defensive issues to address if they are to succeed in their pursuit of trophies

Great reception for Alexander-Arnold. "The Scouser in our team," chant the away end.

Chance but Mac Allister heads straight at the keeper

Endo coming on

Quansah down hurt

Solanke can't turn in Son's low cross. Liverpool second best so far

Applause all around the stadium as Bentancur goes off on a stretcher. Looked like he hit his head on the turf.

Big save from Alisson to deny Dragusin

Four points clear at Christmas with a game in hand. What a position of strength for Arne Slot’s #LFC. And this time they don’t need to worry about Man City. So much to admire about the ruthless demolition of Spurs - another booming statement of intent. www.nytimes.com/athletic/601...

This feels different for Liverpool and Arne Slot's relentless team

"Yeah, it was definitely for real." Joe Gomez on how close he came to leaving Liverpool last summer and his delight that he ended up staying put. "I know how blessed I am to be here. It will be 10 years next summer. I love this club." #LFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/598...

With Diogo Jota sidelined, there was a huge opportunity for Darwin Nunez, but he hasn’t taken it. One goal in his last 10 games and only three in all comps so far this season (one every 346mins). There’s a big decision looming on the horizon for #LFC next summer. www.nytimes.com/athletic/598...

Darwin Nunez is wasting chances and running out of opportunities at Liverpool

FT: Girona 0 #LFC 1: Mohamed Salah's second-half penalty is enough for Liverpool to make it six wins out of six in the Champions League. Far from their best but got the job done in Spain. Alisson outstanding on his return to the side. Managed the game well in final 25mins.

With six players out injured, Mac Allister suspended and signs of fatigue after such an energy-sapping run, the postponement of the Merseyside derby was something of a blessing in disguise for #LFC. Girona away on Tuesday kicks off a run of six games in 19 days. www.nytimes.com/athletic/597...

Liverpool remain in a position of strength at the top - but there were some concerning chinks in their armour at Newcastle. From the defensive vulnerability to the lack of legs and control in midfield after an energy-sapping run. #LFC www.nytimes.com/athletic/597...

Liverpool showed a rare vulnerability at Newcastle but Arne Slot should not be overly worried

The league leaders were shaky in defence, have injury problems and wasted chances as, for once, they dropped below their best level
