WHEN the full-time whistle sounded at Anfield on Sunday, it was almost eerie how comfortable it all felt. Liverpool had beaten Manchester United in the league for the first time since 2014, but it all seemed so routine that the feeling from most was that it was a...
ULTIMATELY it was only three points. However, it was also much more than three points as the smiles, the hugs and The Kop’s impromptu rendition of Wonderful Christmastime proved. Manchester United – and Jose Mourinho – had long since cemented a place in the...
IT was almost mundane. It was simultaneously magic. Manchester United tragic. The form book didn’t go out of the window. It rarely does. Since Rafa Benitez arrived at Anfield, broadly speaking, Liverpool have got the results they should, given the seasons they...

LAST night Alisson Becker had a big moment in a big week. Liverpool deserved the victory but they wouldn’t have got it had Alisson not spread himself wide and strong to deny Arkadiusz Milik from point-blank range in stoppage time. We’d be looking at the...
I WHISPER things, the city sings them back to you. Evening gorgeous. Evening handsome. I thought of you throughout. What a win. What progression. Four things: That is greatest save I have seen in me whole life. The game was mad. Mo Salah wants to be the best player in...
