Hello Everyone, Welcome to Menace & The Monk! A frustrating night as we see a limp display against Arsenal despite fielding a very strong XI.

Talking about this game is Nabil, who talks about the starting line up, the key moments, the frustrating chance missed and of course, what it means for the return leg next week. What did you make of the result against Arsenal? Do let us ...

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Menace & The Monk. The Reds have created history in the Champions League! The first English side to win 6/6 games in the group stage as we go marching on to the Round of 16.

With brilliant performances from Oxlade Chamberlain, Nat Phillips & our Lord and savior - Divock Origi. We now look forward to welcoming an old friend at Anfield. Thank ...

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Menace & The Monk. Luis Suarez, the man, the enigma, was back at Anfield last week for the second time and he has left both times disappointed and empty-handed. It was also a night where the Anfield faithful booed their old hero. Was it right? Is it a big deal? Have we treated him too harshly? To talk about that incident, and his time as our number 7, the incidents surrounding him, the times beyond, and much more, we got Shivangi and Ram. Watch as we discuss the ma...

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Menace & The Monk. With qualification for the Round of 16 in the UCL sealed, we now look forward to another international break and also, the big question looms large - how are we going to deal with the absence of Salah, Mane & Keita during January when they are away for AFCON. These same players are also part of the group whose contract runs out in 2023. How do we deal with it, what should be the approach? To discuss all this and more, we have a special guest,...

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Menace & The Monk. A frustrating return to Anfield as we drop two massive points and blow a two-goal lead. We are still unbeaten but the performance in the second half especially from our midfield and defense was quite poor. The team has a lot of areas to improve upon and the game against Atletico will be super important for us to bounce back. Reviewing this game for us is Utkarsh. Watch him describe the lineup, the key moments, what went right, and of course what ...

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Menace & The Monk. We have gone to Madrid and done it! Not a perfect performance but we have the points and that makes us really strong to proceed to the group stages. What did we make of the starting lineup as Fabinho was benched, Matip and Naby started consecutive games, and more. Of course, more than enough drama with 4 goals scored in the first half, a red card, penalty shouts, and Simeone storming off. Watch our review of the victory against Atletico Madrid. T...

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Menace & The Monk. We are back from the international break with an absolute ripper of a performance against a Watford team, which could have been a potential banana skin for us. A hattrick for Bobby (and that has put a huge smile on every Liverpool fan's face we are sure), a goal to add to Sadio's confidence, and a piece of magic from Mo, again. It was a fantastic performance as the Reds now travel to Spain for the Champions League fixture, and a crucial period st...

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Menace & The Monk. Mohamed Salah, the supernova. Arguably the best player in the world right now. He has scored some absolute worldies for us and won us so many games.

These are in no particular order and of course, isn't a full list. We are sure we have missed a few, given that the man has sco...

Hello Everyone, Welcome to Menace & The Monk! Ole Gunnar Solksjaer had a press conference today in which he seems to have suggested that Jurgen Klopp has influenced referees in the Premier League because of which Manchester United have been getting fewer penalties than what they deserve.
