OF the early ’80s Liverpool side, Graeme Souness once said something like this… If they wanted to fight, we’d out fight them. If they wanted to play, we’d out play them. Today Burnley wanted to Burnley. Liverpool out Burnleyed them. I love this...
YOU can’t live with Liverpool. You think you can. You set up and do something interesting. You give the full backs room and time. You have four lads in centre mid and the centre forwards shield Fabinho. You’ve given it some thought. You aren’t a mug....
THAT became a struggle. Then came excellence. And it was followed by a horrendous time until the relief of the final whistle. Liverpool started well until James Milner went off bleeding. But The Reds were then both poor and under the cosh until the fourth official put...
MAN alive. It meant nothing, then it meant everything, then it was roaringly special. The game crazy. The competition crazy. The extra time crazy. Quick things… The line. You may not like it but the line is an issue. Sometimes your greatest strength is your...
HELLO. Good to be back. Enjoyed that. Shall we? Let’s. It’s right in front of us when Kyle Walker scissor kicks it off the line. He’ll play 40 more games this season but he may not once manage a better bit of defending. It truly is game-saving stuff,...

IF it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Liverpool’s summer 2019 has been something of a homage to their summer of 2018. It’s understandable – last year worked so well, the pacing, the fitness, it makes sense to do it all over again. Strangely,...
COME and adore them. They’re the kings of Europe. To adore, to love. To love is an action, it is active. It isn’t a passive thing. In the book The Reasons For Love by Harry Frankfurt he explores why we love, what love actually is. He determines in short...
THERE were maybe four to go when we last talked, you and I. Maybe four more love songs. And now there is definitely just one. And how are we doing? Proud but not that cool. Not really. Angry but at no one in particular. No blame, not because of a no-blame culture, but...
