THAT came as a surprise, didn’t it? Liverpool are actually good at football and not quite as bad as everyone thought. Who knew? I quite enjoyed last night. Good atmosphere, fight, we played well and a penalty save is always good fun. There was one thing I didn’t like...

YOU have to hand it to Chelsea; I think it’s actually possible that they have managed to break the entire Premier League. It really is quite an achievement on their part. We can take a look at ourselves and question things that we have done all we want, as can all of...

I FAIL to see it as being up for debate in any way, shape, or form but the current Liverpool side is not performing at anywhere near the level of the Liverpool side of the Autumn. This Liverpool side hasn’t quite got its edge, it isn’t attacking with the same fluency,...

I GENUINELY love the FA Cup. It’s my first footballing memory. I remember being five and watching Michael Thomas and Ian Rush bag Liverpool the cup against Sunderland in 1992. I remember being gutted in 1996 when Eric Cantona bagged a late winner. I celebrated Michael...

IT’S the January transfer window and Liverpool are in great position to crack on and have a real push at the league title. As it’s January 4, it’s safe to assume that given we haven’t already signed anyone, there isn’t going to be any new signings in the next few...

HAVING to win to stand still is what we had to do. And it’s demoralising. At kick-off at Anfield yesterday Liverpool trailed Chelsea by nine points at the top of the league. The timing of the fixtures meant there had been no opportunity closing what was a six-point...

IT simply doesn’t get any better than that. Just when you’re telling yourself that it’s a tough game, a hard place to go, a point is a decent result and eight points to Chelsea is a gap that can be bridged, Sadio Mane pops up and taps the ball into an empty net. Joel...

I’M going to start this by saying something just so I don’t get panned for saying something that I’m not saying: Loris Karius has started poorly, failed to save things he should have, cost us points and generally not given us much encouragement for the...

PERCENTAGES. People don’t really think about what happens on a football pitch in terms of percentages, when the reality is that they’re in everything. With Liverpool 3-1 up and cruising on Sunday, Bournemouth were 500/1 to win the game of football which is roughly a...

I’VE had a tweet saved up for ages to basically troll people. Given our supposed inability to defend, both from open play and set-pieces, I was going to suggest that Jürgen Klopp do what people suggested Brendan Rodgers should have and get himself a defensive coach....
