THERE must have been a few of us. When the camera panned to Adam Lallana stripping off, I almost gave up all hope that Liverpool would get something from the game. It’s funny what time does to perception. I fully expected Lallana to come on, chew the ball, and...
“DRAG them down to our level and kill them.” The words of Jürgen Klopp when he was asked how he would deal with better sides, more expensively assembled sides facing his Liverpool just after he was appointed. Today Manchester United did an excellent job of...
HORRIBLE. Absolutely horrible fixture. No good comes of it. I can list the wins on one hand I think for the majority of my adult life. I would need an hour to list the woes. The fucking last-minute defeats. The man getting sent before a pasting, the centre halves with...
I GO through phases of swerving Old Trafford. It’s logistically the second easiest away jaunt of the season but also the most potentially stressful. It’s the one with the most edge. I’m going to say I can’t remember seeing us win there. It’s probably best I don’t go....

I’M not falling for it. Liverpool’s next opponents currently sit in 12th place with nine points having won just twice this season. The opening eight games represent their worst ever start in Premier League history. Their last away win came at Selhurst Park back in...
YOU can never truly trust social media. There I was, harmlessly scrolling through Twitter on Sunday night, when I saw a number of posts to the effect of “What a goal from Wijnaldum,” “What has Wijnaldum just done?!” and even “OMGini!” It was tremendous news that...
AH, the international break’s back. If, like myself, you’re lucky enough to be able to chat wham about your football club for a living, the international break is just that – a chance to switch off until the real football is returns. There will be others –...
