Liverpool: Overcoming Crystal Palace, An Anfield Return And Philippe Coutinho’s Barcelona Conundrum

by Ben Johnson | Aug 21, 2017 | Footie

THERE is something about the first home game of the season, isn’t there? The excitement builds from early on to get back into the ground, to see what’s changed in there. Have a lovely big count of how many extra sets of lights they have erected on the Main Stand to...

Liverpool: From Despair To Where? What Did We Learn From Watford And What’s Next?

by Ben Johnson | Aug 14, 2017 | Footie

“IT’S alright, lad, don’t worry about all this transfer bollocks, the Coutinho will, he won’t he, FSG this, that and the other — the footie starts again on Saturday, everything will be sound then…” (Johnson, August 2017, to myself). The human brain...

Liverpool In The Transfer Window: Why The Reds Shouldn’t Be Worried By Their Rivals’ Business

by Ben Johnson | Jul 24, 2017 | Footie

THE joys of British Summer time, eh? I don’t know about you but fucking hell, it seems like a very long time since The Reds beat Middlesbrough and everyone was singing about Gini Wijnaldum and Willy Wonka and that. I mean, what are you meant to do to pass the...

Liverpool: Jürgen Klopp And Co Hold The Golden Ticket To More Great Nights

by Ben Johnson | May 23, 2017 | Footie

WHAT a day. What a night. What a goal. What a bevy. What a song. “De, de, de, de, de, de…” “Gini Wijnaldum.” Or as Adam Melia, the sharpest Lyricist in Europe, sang. “Who played Willy Wonka…” “Gene Wilder.” If you weren’t hanging off a light fitting or...

Liverpool: Has The West Ham Wonder Show Changed Sturridge’s Career Path?

by Ben Johnson | May 16, 2017 | Footie

AFTER all the talk of the Reds being set up as a perfect away team over the last few weeks we all expected more of the same against West Ham, if we are honest with ourselves. A strong away performance that would focus on keeping a clean sheet, with three...

Liverpool’s System And James Milner At Left-Back: The Method To The Madness

by Ben Johnson | May 10, 2017 | Footie

YOU may or (probably definitely) may not have noticed that I didn’t meet the Monday morning deadline for my weekly column to go up. I noticed. To be honest, I pre-empted it. You see, I was in Magaluf from Friday night to Sunday morning on a whirlwind tour. Magaluf,...

Brendan Rodgers: Not A Fraud, Not A Failure, Yet Still A Target For The Internet Experts

by Ben Johnson | May 1, 2017 | Footie

FRAUD: A person or thing intended to deceive others, typically by unjustifiably claiming or being credited with accomplishments or qualities. Synonyms: Imposter, fake, pretender, hoodwinker, masquerade, charlatan. After watching Celtic bladder Rangers 5-1 on Saturday...

Liverpool: Was A Beating At The Hands Of Big Sam And Benteke Inevitable?

by Ben Johnson | Apr 24, 2017 | Footie

SHOULD have known. At 6.30am yesterday I should have known. I woke up there with what felt like an undeserved hangover. One of them under the radar ones which don’t feel warranted but feel like you have been killed for no reason. Why me? What did I do to deserve...

Liverpool: Why Toppling Tony’s Battling Baggies Was Top Of Klopp’s Agenda

by Ben Johnson | Apr 17, 2017 | Footie

UP there with the biggest win of the season, that. Make no bones about it. Regardless of its importance, that was one of the best victories so far — don’t even think about knocking your bone ingredients all about yourself. Mad phrase that, isn’t it? Make no...

Liverpool: What The Reds Can Learn From Their Own Pragmatism At Stoke

by Ben Johnson | Apr 10, 2017 | Footie

THERE’S something about Stoke away which is so off-putting as to almost make you not want to watch it. Memories of the 6-1 when everyone at Liverpool should have been dismissed instantly, a horrible drive to get there; it’s further than you think, you know, them...
