I’VE never known a season with so much quality attacking football. I’ve never known a season where Liverpool are awarded so few penalties, especially at home. I’m prepared to allow for a tactical idea — that sides tend to stand off...
THERE was a point between the second and half time where the whole ground fell silent. It was as if everyone in the place had a moment. Had this moment: Have you ever seen anything as cool as that in your whole life? Have you, though? There have been a million and one...
IT happens from time to time but this very much was a frustrating afternoon for The Reds. All over the pitch the game seemed a little tougher than it needed to be, with Liverpool either trying to play within themselves or finding the ebb and flow of the game a little...
BOURNEMOUTH were beaten before a ball was kicked, beaten when the teamsheet came in. They’d have hoped to see a change at least in the front three. The night before they go to bed and say their prayers. If they have been good boys and are up to date on their...

IN the wind and the snow, Mo Salah confirmed he’s the best in the land with a minimum of fuss. It’s a debut season from the stars, a return which goes beyond expectation and even hope. We started the season with conversations around “reversion to the...
A GAME of football broke out. An intriguing one. I mean it is crap to lose and that. We’ll come back to that in a second. But it was intriguing. Take all the nonsense out of it — all the canal gear — what we saw was a very good Liverpool side who...
