A LOT of things go through the mind of a football supporter in the buildup to a game. There’s usually a cycle between complete confidence and nail-biting nervousness, in no particular order, and like it or not a lot of that can rest upon the announcement of the...
THERE must have been a few of us. When the camera panned to Adam Lallana stripping off, I almost gave up all hope that Liverpool would get something from the game. It’s funny what time does to perception. I fully expected Lallana to come on, chew the ball, and...
AH, the international break’s back. If, like myself, you’re lucky enough to be able to chat wham about your football club for a living, the international break is just that – a chance to switch off until the real football is returns. There will be others –...
IN December 1995, football’s transfer market was changed forever. After five years of battling against his club, the country’s football association and UEFA, Jean Marc-Bosman won his case which would allow football players to move to another club for free upon the...
“SOMETIMES you need luck. “I was lucky today and the goalkeeper was unlucky. Sometimes you need those kind of moments.” You’d do well to find a single football supporter who didn’t believe that the circumstances leading to Liverpool’s winning goal...
SOME things can’t be quantified in football. Stats certainly have their place in football, but there are some things that stats can’t prove. VAR probably has its place in football – despite weekly evidence that can be used to the contrary – but there are...
THE grass isn’t always greener on the other side. A phrase I used in this column last Monday in reference to some former Liverpool players who weren’t having the same nice time that the current crop of Reds are, which it could be argued was down to the way they left...
IT’S been an interesting few weeks for some of Anfield’s former flings. From surprisingly under-the-radar loan moves, to inflammatory agent statements, being left out of Champions League squads and even bad publicity surrounding book releases. Say what you want about...
LIVERPOOL beat Manchester United 4-3 with a last-minute own goal at the weekend. That sentence would usually be common knowledge by this point on a Monday, but this was a game between the rivals’ under-18s sides that took place at The Academy in Kirkby on Saturday...
IT’S hard to know what to take from Friday night. While it felt as though Liverpool could have been 6-0 up at half time, it also felt like Norwich were able to get in behind more times than anybody in the home end would have liked – and of course they eventually...
With the Friday being pencilled in for the arrival of Florian Wirtz we look at what difference the German international might make to Liverpool and scrutinise, from a financial point of view, how Liverpool convinced Wirtz to choose the Reds of Manchester City and Bayern Munich, and with Milos Kerkez reportedly being next to arrive, what that might mean for Andy Robertson, who has been linked with a move to Spain.]
