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...
IT’S been quite a week. While the heavy City defeat was written off through face-saving indifference and outraged fury (ours being the most bipolar of all clubs), talk soon turned to the cheery possibility of the Premier League Champions signing Thiago Alcantara from...
IT has been a very long time since we’ve been able to talk about Liverpool fixtures being meaningless. The title was secured three games ago and in near absolute terms, the remaining games have very little tangible worth. Obviously, it is not quite this simple, as...

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...
FEBRUARY 15, 2011. Kenny Dalglish was the manager of Liverpool Football Club. The Reds were sitting in sixth place in the Premier League after a home draw with Wigan Athletic halted a run of four wins on the spin under the guidance of The King, including victory over...
THERE have already been a lot of ‘we should have been there’ moments. The first game back, the Merseyside Derby. Goodison might be my favourite game of the year. No better place to turn up and crow about being the best in the land. Their bitterness really...
