‘GOOD problems’ are something that only top quality football managers ever seem to encounter. If the general population had half as many good problems as top managers do then the current climate wouldn’t half seem a lot rosier. To say that Jürgen Klopp is a top...
EIGHT key passes from two substitutes, eight from the rest on the pitch over 90 minutes. Brighton versus Liverpool came alive in the first and last 20 minutes of the encounter in a Liverpool sense. While Graeme Souness sat barking in the television studio making...
THERE were people who didn’t want football to come back until we could be certain it was safe to play in stadia with supporters present. There were people who wanted to null and void this season. Others who just wanted to stop the season and look at points per...
Alisson: 7 Good header first half. Love a goalie header that works. Great save near post first half. Bit sloppy with his kicking tonight at times. When I say a bit sloppy, I mean well better than all of our other goalies. Just not perfect. Trent: 6 Mixed bag of a...

JORDAN Henderson roars at Curtis Jones after he scores. Mo Salah and Roberto Firmino surround him and Curtis looks sort of sheepish. He’s rarely sheepish, everyone says, but he suddenly looks his age in the best possible way and it’s a real sweetheart...
Alisson: 8 His hands. Imagine a massage off him? Reckon he could climb The Shard with just his goalie gloves on, like that human fly fella. Brilliant second half in a way that you sort of come to expect. Like it’s easy. It’s not easy. Ask all our other...
