GREETINGS from Barcelona. Where the sun is shining, and the weather is sweet, yeah. Football aside, we’ve had a lovely time of tapas, sangria and cerveza. The city was hospitable and we were very open to hospitality. Between rooftop bars, beaches and tavernas,...
WHAT to say? Where to start? They’re always the dilemmas. When you’re tasked with writing something after a night like that they’re always the first questions. I wrote last week about hope. Many of you who have followed me on these pages for a while might have...
THE lonely painter. Well, it hurts. Let me tell you, it hurts. Be prepared to bleed. I told you. I warned you. To bleed is to love. The worst thing, the most painful thing about the enterprise is that at no moment did they feel two goals better than Liverpool let...
Alisson: 7 His footwork for the Coutinho shot first half is like Fred Astaire. Couldn’t do a thing about any of their goals which is a shame for all concerned. Maybe he could have lined his wall up a bit better. I don’t know, I’m not a keeper. Joey Gomez: 7 Played...

GULFS. Rivers. Oceans between these sides. But what matters is this: everyone gave the best of themselves, broadly speaking. Whatever happened in the end of kicking the ball in the goal. There is a thing we do where we forget this fact – Huddersfield’s...
Alisson: 8 I reckon I’m giving him a couple of points for not sitting down first half. Like, lashing his boots off, spreading a blanket out and maybe eating some cheese and crackers. Made a good save second half which frankly he should have been lying down for,...
IT happened for the first time on Wednesday night. Not Manchester United being predictably devoid of the physical or mental sturdiness to compete at the levels they once set. Not Manchester City showing a glimmer of their fragility before becoming an overpowering...
