IF you leave on 77 minutes it’s hard to do this. If you leave on 77 in THAT game it’s even harder. We were 2-0 up and playing well and then, by all accounts, all that went out the window. It shows a mental weakness in the team and a defensive fragility we...

A RESULT, and night, that surely makes some decisions on where priorities lie for the rest of the season. I have no appetite for a battle for eighth. The players look like they feel the same. A Bill Shankly quote we have used often this season is that a football team...

ROBBO’s article for Mirror Football caused quite the stir yesterday. Apparently suggesting that a football team should sacrifice the battle for sixth place in a bid to win a cup is quite controversial. Someone even tweeted him telling him to hang himself. Have a...

GREAT news for people who like games of football. There’s another one in February and one last trip to The Boleyn before they bulldoze another piece of our national game’s history. A much-weakened Liverpool grew into the game well and probably did enough...

NO matter how many penalty shoot-outs I see us win, I’m still a wreck. Going into the game 1-0 up from the first leg, Liverpool didn’t seem to know how to approach the game. Seeing out a 0-0 never looked likely. Second half was slightly better but...

IT’S a big game tonight. How big? Well that depends on who you ask and what their perspective is. It’s a big game for the manager, Jürgen Klopp, who yesterday called going to Wembley “the best thing you can do in football.” It’s a big...

WHERE on earth do you start with that? A reasonable start saw a Liverpool lead before another corner saw an equaliser. Liverpool’s reaction to going 1-1 was pathetic. All the negative words that are thrown at this team looked justified. But the reaction to 4-4...

WELL that was enough for that. Our young lads might not have proved they were good enough for Liverpool’s first team, but they proved they were better than League Two. They passed Exeter off the park and then kicked it in the goal three times. The Grecians (oh...

SPEAKING to Neil the day after the defeat to Manchester United, he said that as the minutes drifted away at Anfield on Sunday he couldn’t help but feel like he had been watching the same game all season. I know how he feels and Jürgen Klopp will, too. Again...

OVER the years a few tidy teams have turned up to Anfield. You think “how are these 10th, they look really good”. Then they don’t score, and someone like Fernando Torres knocks a couple in and we all go home. Liverpool have become that team. Often...
