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...
THIS is the eighth Champions League game at Anfield this decade. For all the talk of maybe staying in the pub, of maybe there being something else to do: the eighth. It’s 2018. The average has been one a year. At the end of last season, Jürgen Klopp said this is...
CALL it run of the mill; it’s the thing that’s easy to say. Just a run-of-the-mill home victory. Pre match we’re in The Hole In The Wall and this bloke comes over and points to three fellas and says that these lads have come from California and had...

ANOTHER crazy win? Nope, far from it. Very much far from it. Sanity abounded in Liverpool’s performance, in the setup, in the game management. Liverpool went through the gears against Huddersfield almost at will but what’s noticeable is that the opening...
SATURDAY night comes creeping. Saturday night comes weeping and sore. Something hits me more than anything else as I ambled out of Anfield tonight: Liverpool have only progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup four times since winning it in 2006. Tonight is my...
LIVERPOOL were absolutely dreadful against Swansea City and deserved nothing from the game today. There isn’t a single Liverpool player whose performance was anywhere near good enough and indeed most of them dropped to their worst level, portraying all their bad...
