Thoroughly professional performance to gain a 2-0 advantage away from home against a top side. VVD was close to perfect and, ably assisted by Konate, totally nullified Martinez and Dzeko. Goals came towards the end from Bobby F and Mo. Fab also played well and a first Euro start for young Elliott. Another bright cameo from Diaz. Only downside was an ankle injury for Jota. Hopefully it won't be too serious. Only half time in the tie but well done boys????

Quite a difference between Top and Bottom this week, Jip99 taking the honours with 43, closely followed by Thaiwrath on 41. Getting tighter at the top in the Overall Comp with season newcomer Clarty Boots getting into the Top 4. This week's deadline is Saturday 19:30 Thai time. There are 14 fixtures in total so don't forget the midweek extras. Cheers

Heard a bit more about this. Apparently there may be games against Man U and Palace in Thailand and Singapore. If they are going ahead, official confirmation will be made next month. The organisers have announced the game for 12th July. Tickets are priced 5000baht upwards and will go on sale 11th March.

Looks more like 3 to me????

Goals scored in 2022?. Fabinho 5.....Ronaldo 0????

Not likely to feature too much in the end of season highlight reel that one! Still, another three points courtesy of Fab's persistence and new found goalscoring form. Game was played in atrocious conditions amid a strong swirling wind and heavy rain. Suited Burnley's game but on the whole our defence coped pretty well. Alisson MoM for me despite much of his good work being nullified by delayed offside flags.....I hate that rule!???? Up front we struggled to create in the conditions and Pope was decent when called upon, but Salah should defo have had a penalty when their lumbering CF took him out. Keita played well with a number of interceptions and challenges and Thiago was calmness personified when he came on. Wouldn't mind betting Diaz was happy enough to miss this one???? In the end, another hurdle was overcome. Next stop...Inter.????

Gave Pogba a run as he used to score in batches. And good to have an interest in the first game of the weekend.

Cavani is injured so a good chance of Ronaldo getting both.

Deadline for this week's fixtures is 19:30 Thailand time tomorrow.

Scores are up. Congrats to Clarty Boots who took the honours with a decent 32 points. Runner up was Balo with 30. Wilai extends his lead at the top of the Overall Comp.

Very good all round performance from the lads. But for Schmeichel it could have been a cricket score! VVD was at his imperious best at the back and Matip played equally as well with the pair of them getting on the assist sheet. Thiago ran the midfield and has reduced the amount of sliding tackles which is good to see (VVD had a word maybe?). Further forward, Diogo was again the match winner with two poacher's goals but Diaz and particularly Salah in his 30 minute run out were only denied by Schmeichel and the woodwork. Mo quite possibly should have had a pen as well. Another good cameo from Elliott as well. With his continued progression and Diaz fitting in so well so quickly, the squad suddenly has a very strong look about it.????

Don't forget your shirtseller????

Yep...Form is temporary, Class is permanent.????

Seems SG is quite happy with him. Maybe you should take his advice!???? Steven Gerrard, loving Coutinho: “If you don't like watching Philippe Coutinho then you should stop watching football because that (performance) was absolutely beautiful”.

Sadio lifts the AfCoN Trophy......After yet another bout of extra time in the tournament, Sadio Mane's Senagal beat Mo Salah's Egypt 4-2 on penalties. Well done to both of our lads.???? Sadio also won the Player of the Tournament Award.????

Job done 3-1 and through to play Norwich at Anfield. Shoddy shooting allied to a 9 man deep lying defence made life tough in the first half but things improved after the break particularly when Diaz and Elliott came on. Cracking header from Jota set us on the way and a great strike from Elliott finished the game. Sandwiched between was a lovely bit of skill from Diaz to set up Taki for the second following a Cardiff error. Hopefully his knee knock wasn't too bad and he can get more minutes in soon.

Kelleher, Konate, Tsimikas, Keita, Minamino all start. Diaz and Elliott on bench. Gomez and AOC out with covid but will be back for midweek if selected.

Next two weeks fixtures are available to download. Deadline for the first week is Saturday 12th Feb.

Bump........ as quite a few missing.

Turned up first day of training in a Roller......doesn't look like he's changing!

There is talk on fan forums of a Far East tour this summer (incl Bkk), but everything is still subject to Covid.

IF it is legit, I'm not sure the clubs have any say in the ticket prices. They will have been offered a sum by the 'organisers' to come over and play and then said 'organisers decide on how they get their money back. Still no announcement on official LFC site or the local rag.
