Liverpool’s season has been defined by bad decisions, from top to bottom, and that needs fixing first and foremost writes Phil Greene… BY any measure, Liverpool have been one of the very best football teams in the world for the past three years....
IN the bowels of Anfield, as the fans sung their hearts out and the world tried to come to terms with what they’d just seen, Jürgen Klopp looked at his watch and smiles. “It’s 10 past 10, most children are probably in bed… These boys are...
“THERE are 500,000 ways to win a football game.” That’s what Jürgen Klopp told the waiting press in the aftermath of Liverpool’s white knuckle 2-1 win over Spurs at Anfield on Sunday. If anything, Klopp might be underestimating the permutations, the nips and the...
REMEMBER when he was a one-season wonder? When Sergio Ramos was supposed to have broken him beyond repair in the Champions League final? When a few wild shots and quiet games early in the season was proof that he was actually a bit crap? Yeah, Mo Salah wants a word....
WE’RE in the thick of it now, of that there is no denying. If the first four games, coming as they did after an earlier than normal Premier League start following a World Cup, felt like a bit of a phony war, this run of seven games, which started with a 2-1 battering...

FOOTBALL is a bit mad, isn’t it? Essentially, it’s 90 minutes of chaos and luck which is decided one way or another by a handful of defining moments. Whether a team wins, loses or draws comes down to their number 10 curling in a freekick, three players keeping their...
“THE ball, the ball, they hardly touched the ball; we beat the shite on a Wednesday night and and they hardly touched the ball.” That chant, born on April 20, 2016 when The Reds hammered Everton 4-0, was true of most of the players in blue. But it was truest of all...
SO here’s the thing. Liverpool’s 2-1 win away to Swansea does not mean the Reds are going to win the league. But, bloody hell, does it prove they can go and win it. How many times have we seen that kind of game? A team, manifestly not as good at playing football as...
