BEFORE the win over Chelsea on Sunday, Jürgen Klopp was asked if new signing Thiago Alcantara would be starting. The German dismissed the idea as laughable. The player had only just arrived from Bayern Munich, who play a completely different system, and he had barely...
AND just like that, normality is restored. Liverpool, while still picking up points since last season was prematurely halted, have been a club with a lot of questions being asked of them. Have they peaked now that they’ve reached the summit? Do they need to add...
IS right, the boys. The Reds are still boss, that’s good init? The Reds have bought the best centre mid in the world (let’s ignore the pen, aye) and one of Wolves lads who isn’t the one who scored at Anfield and then it got disallowed, and the old team are still...
ROBERTO Firmino starts smiling before he has even taken the shot. Roberto Firmino knows things are about to get emphatic. Sadio Mane wins the ball off the keeper, who must be a wreck, and Firmino is beaming and Liverpool have won the game, won the game of games. Won...

“THERE was a point in the game where I was watching Salah and I just thought, that is some player. “Four years ago, when he first came to Liverpool and he got 40-odd goals, I thought: ‘That’s a freak, he won’t be able to live with that.’ But then he consistently...
SO it’s happening then. I’ve spent most of the morning like Michael Scott in The Office US, pacing round my house telling myself to “stay fucking calm”. After spending what has felt like the best part of eight years, though it has actually been the shortest...
OVER the weekend the press reported that our first game of the season had everything. It had goals, disallowed goals, defensive howlers, a hat-trick, two charismatic managers and more to and fro action than your average basketball game. That’s not true though. It...
