MENTALITY. It’s a strange concept, isn’t it? There is no quantifiable output, no defined characteristics that scouts can look for, nor a clear distinction on paper between a player with a winning mentality and one without. As the word suggests, it’s all in the mind....
LIVERPOOL Football Club has produced several great players and one truly great leader. There may be another one on the way. The strong statesmanship of Sir Kenny Dalglish made the immediate aftermath of the Hillsborough Disaster somehow a little more bearable for...
THE international break seems to have gone well for Liverpool… Touch wood. No one seems to have exerted themselves too much. Sadio Mane had the furthest to travel, but even he was left out the starting 11 in the second game before coming on for the last 15...
A GLORIOUS sunny day at Wembley. Almost 90,000 Liverpool fans in attendance. With minutes to go, the men in red hit Barcelona on the counter attack. A dinked cross from Lazar Markovic is headed into the far corner of the net by young Marko Grujic. The fans go wild as...

YOUR heart pounding when James Milner steps up. Your head hurts a little bit, that might be a sign of last night, your head hurts and your heart pounds, and you watch James Milner step up and you are pleased he is there but know what it all means. It means everything....
REMEMBER that article that these wrote the other week about Hodgson in their match programme? That was weird, wasn’t it? Anyway, I am watching the game at home. It is incompatible with anyone having a nice time. I mean, people are trying to get on with their Sunday...
