YOU can blame the pitch. You can blame the lack of changes from the weekend. You can blame Jürgen Klopp’s tactics on the night, or that he refused to make a positive substitution until it was too late. Whatever avenue of finger pointing you choose to explore,...
JESUS. Ran ourselves into the ground for a big dose of nothing but cramp and tired legs for Sunday. Would probably have been better if they had just beat us early doors. Fine lines between a good, old-fashioned, hard-fought European away point, and a massive bowl of...
I REMEMBER a time when a Liverpool manager suggesting that players within a squad should be rotated was met with incredulity. The masses mocked, the media scorned and the ex-professionals screamed from the hilltops “WE DIDN’T NEED A REST IN OUR DAY”. It seems...
THE celebrations in those closing minutes at Stamford Bridge on Saturday tea time, were full blooded, defiant and maybe will come to be seen as disproportionate. We are apt to do this. I was part of an away end at Villa Park in Brendan Rogers last season that properly...
IT HARDLY counts as all that perceptive to point out that there are elements of fickleness when it comes to football analysis. Indeed, as someone who writes a weekly article about one football team, I am reliant on a certain fickleness to continue to produce talking...
IT HAPPENED down at Anfield not so long ago. Well, two years, eight months and 16 days previous to be precise. Liverpool under Jürgen Klopp, trailing to Arsenal 3-2 after some questionable goalkeeping from Simon Mignolet, were desperate to save a point in a game they...
“DON’T shoot,” says Ben Johno. The ball goes to Daniel Sturridge. “Don’t you fucking shoot either,” I say. The “r” of either leaves my mouth as the ball hits the back of the net and even in Head Of Steam in town...
LAD. I know, lad. The wrigglies are back. Alisson: 7 Made three great saves there dressed as a massive big pink fella. What a kit. Might be at fault for there’s, maybe? I don’t know. Can do what he wants in that kit in fairness, can’t he? Trent: 7 Few sloppy balls in....
IN a game which felt like a throwback to a decade ago, what a contest between two very modern football teams. Back in those days it was Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho locked in enthralling tactical battles, with players of supreme quality all over the pitch. Chelsea...
I’M fascinated by time. Well, space time to be more specific. I recently attended a talk centred around Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and general musings about string theory and time travel, something that has had me hooked for years. Without becoming too...
With recent talk about the quality and lack of depth in Liverpool’s squad, on this week’s Midweek Extra, we have a look at where Liverpool need to reinforce and what they might look to do in the summer transfer window.
John Gibbons is joined by Jake Nolan, Joel Penny and Neil Atkinson.
