PERCEPTION is everything. For example, I thought that people had an over-the-top dislike of Loris Karius, pre Kyiv, because he was too good looking, but then Liverpool signed an even handsomer goalkeeper in the summer and everyone loves him (some a little too much)....
HERE we are again. The crucial Christmas period. When the games come thick and fast, and when every squad, no matter how strong or deep, is tested to the limit. It’s a time when some of the less-heralded traits of elite footballers come to the fore. How fast can they...
IT’S an odd competition at times, the Champions League. Its group phase is unsettling. The matches are all obviously very important. They must be, as teams — especially those in the Premier League — have sweated nine long months to qualify for them. Yet...
NO Ben Johnson this week, so I’ve been given the honour of filling some big shoes. Didn’t expect to do much undies on your head chat, a la Ben, but also I didn’t expect Mohamed Salah to truly take the piss. What a performance from The Reds, and kudos to the manager in...
IT was a routine win for Liverpool on the south coast, but not as you know it. Pundits and “experts” may look back on the game as one where Liverpool cruised to an easy victory, without acknowledging the near perfection this Liverpool team are achieving....
WELL, what a week that was. The Reds picked themselves off the Parisian floor (no doubt finding a writhing Neymar there) and met two difficult games head on. Both went to the wire and needed as much “stugots” as skill to see them off. We also saw the...
MY first league match missed this season will be Liverpool’s 15th. I’ve set out to do the full 38-game complement on about 10 occasions, but always come up short by a fixture or two. I’m like a metaphor for past Liverpool sides. We’re all nearly people, ultimately....
THE Premier League title race will not be won by a tactical system. The numbers that count are not 4-3-3 or 4-2-3-1 (or whatever combination that was at Burnley), they are the digits in the far right-hand column of the league table. Liverpool’s tally is a record 39...
VITALITY and purpose. Nothing other than the title is our business. Our business is nothing other than the title. There is a purity to that. Tonight told you that story and told you how much it matters to this club, this manager and his players, and what everyone is...
ARE we still doing this footy watching thing? I mean, seriously? I thought we all decided that it couldn’t get any better than Sunday, for as long as we live, even if we find the pool off Cocoon and double bubble it with the magic mouse off The Green Mile and live...
