“[LIVERPOOL] are a team that are intense, they keep going forward and have quality upfront. “They are so direct and they make the runs in behind. They create chances playing that way and they can score goals. “Those three guys upfront now are in a...
WATCHING this Liverpool side step it up should take your breath away and we should have been left breathless at the start of the second half. Should. I’m worried a little bit. Worried we are taking for granted how good this side is, treating emphatic wins and...
IT’S a magnificent Liverpool victory. An historic one and one which signposts exactly where Liverpool stand in Europe’s current reckoning. Imagine this was Barcelona or Real Madrid or Bayern Munich going to somewhere like Porto and doing this. Imagine...

THE Reds are mustard again. There was a purity to the occasion, a purity to the two performances. A reminder what this thing is. Two sets of lads mostly in their 20s being bold and brave, and playing, and playing, and playing. Two teams running themselves into the...
BY their standards, Liverpool were dreadful. Against the expectations, Everton were quite good. And yet Everton never deserved a result from the game and Liverpool never quite deserved to be punished. This is what it is to be better. It must be heartbreaking for...
