Liverpool 4 Crystal Palace 3: The Match Ratings
FOR reasons I can’t go into, I ended up watching it on a stream, in a non-Liverpool boozer, with Jeff and the boys about two minutes ahead of us. Every time there was a cheer, Palace, United, or some other cunts had scored. Every time there wasn’t a cheer The Reds had...
Man City Have Title-Winning Experience – But Liverpool Need Not Worry
I’VE been thinking a lot about outrage lately. I get the feeling outrage has been applied to almost all aspects of daily life in recent years, and as a result we’re in danger of the whole concept becoming neutralised. In a week where outrage has been attributed to all...
Liverpool v Crystal Palace: The Big Match Preview
IT’S nip and fucking tuck time again. We win. They win. But we have the edge. It’s now very clear. Manchester City are very good but Liverpool may just be the more complete football team. In full attacking cry, Pep Guardiola‘s side can look a force of nature, as can...
Liverpool v Man City: The Role Television Could Play In The Title Race
LIVERPOOL and Manchester City will not play Premier League football at the same time again until the last day of this season. That’s a prediction rather than a fact at the moment, but Sky and BT have not paid £5billion to miss a second of this title race now. If you...
How Klopp’s Shankly-Inspired Recipe For Success Is Serving Liverpool Well
MENTALITY is something that is often talked about in football but is a difficult thing to measure or pinpoint. There is no rating for each player on FIFA, no YouTube compilations like skills or goals. No points you can tally or score. There isn't even an agreed set of...
Trent’s Injury And The Loss Of Clyne: Do The Reds Have Adequate Cover?
IT’S January 2019. Nathaniel Clyne, signed for £12.5m from Southampton in July 2015, has already made two appearances for his new club Bournemouth -- in which they’ve conceded five goals. Those two consecutive starts are his first back-to-back games since May 2017. In...
How Fabinho’s Character Helped Him Kickstart His Liverpool Career
ALL week it had never been far away from the lips of pundits and the fingertips of football writers. The Reds, so the oft-repeated line went, were facing a living nightmare by heading for a tough-looking away at Brighton with only one senior centre back at full...
Liverpool’s Record Against ‘The Rest’ Bodes Well For Their Title Chances
ANOTHER weekend, another Liverpool victory. Maybe that line doesn’t scan given the 1-0 win at Brighton and Hove Albion followed back-to-back defeats to Manchester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers in the FA Cup, but I stand by it. It was another of a certain kind of...
Salah’s More Than A One-Season Wonder – But Is His Importance Understated?
REMEMBER when he was a one-season wonder? When Sergio Ramos was supposed to have broken him beyond repair in the Champions League final? When a few wild shots and quiet games early in the season was proof that he was actually a bit crap? Yeah, Mo Salah wants a word....
