GETTING beat is rubbish. Yes it is. The fact is that Liverpool are a good team. No wait, a great team. But still, even a great team gets beat. From back to front there is effort. As discussed after the match, the goalkeeper is probably the man of the match. The...
IT’S a small away end at Watford. I wish you could have been there with us, I wish it with all my heart. But that wasn’t always the case. Surround me with songs of deliverance, oh lord. You know, it was purgatory at the break. While Liverpool had finished...
ANDY Robertson. Andy, Andy, Andy, Andy Robertson. What a performance from the Liverpool left back, one man who is the very best of us. He does this thing second half when Liverpool are 2-0 up, when he is firmly man of the match, when he has set up Xherdan Shaqiri for...
WE’VE conquered all of Europe. We’ve seemingly decided to have a rest. Let’s get this out the way… Red Star played well in the first half, picked their moments well and produced two excellent finishes. They did sensible things in the second. It...

NINETY minutes of sheer hell, John Barnes said years ago. The words echoed through today. Liverpool 0 Manchester City 0. Unbelievable we pay good money to be made to feel like that. If it wasn’t hell it was purgatory. The prospect of losing loomed large, the...
LIVERPOOL lost and they deserved to lose. The good thing about being good is being able to say: “That isn’t good. That isn’t what good looks like.” Before a ball was kicked I would have taken a point. Firstly, due to the group scenario but...
“DON’T shoot,” says Ben Johno. The ball goes to Daniel Sturridge. “Don’t you fucking shoot either,” I say. The “r” of either leaves my mouth as the ball hits the back of the net and even in Head Of Steam in town...
