THE concept of ‘winning ugly’ has been on the minds, lips and keyboards of Reds for the last few weeks, largely due to a perceived inability of this current Liverpool side to do such a thing. There’s a line in the episode of The Simpsons where Moe Szyslak has had...

SEVEN minutes in and Leicester have a corner. Mark Albrighton swings it in and it doesn’t come to anything, but that was when I started to mentally turn off from the game. Liverpool were going to lose. It wasn’t based on an incident or a goal, but it was a repeat, a...

THIS is one of those articles that will definitely be retweeted back to me when Liverpool finish sixth. There, I’ve acknowledged the fact. That should take care of any risk of jinx… but hang on, by acknowledging it does it now become re-jinxed? Can you even re-jinx...

THEY say every cloud has a silver lining. That good always comes out of bad. That when a door closes, a window opens — which is more a sign of shoddy workmanship than optimism, but there we are. When Phil Coutinho smacked his foot against Didier Ndong (who with...

IN spite of the dull tedium of an international break, when things are going as well as they are you can’t help but reflect on the little things that makes football so great. The drama of a last minute winner, the needle of a derby game, and of course when some berk...

THE League Cup can feel like a bit of a pain in the arse at times, but going into this season I wanted Liverpool to win it more than I ever have before. The penalty shoot-out loss to Manchester City last season was the first of two heartbreaks in Jürgen Klopp’s first...
