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...
IT’S something of a shame that we had to dilute the anticipation of this titanic contest by prefacing it with that midweek rumble in the League Cup. Wednesday night’s was a decent game, even if we were ultimately left utterly frustrated by it. It would have been nice...

“I SUPPOSE it’s your year again, is it?” “Yes.” “Haha, you say that every year and you haven’t won the league for ages.” “We know, we just like to have lots of fun and be optimistic about watching our boss football team.” I could just leave it there this week. I’ve...
LIVERPOOL v Chelsea in the third round of the League Cup. An unwanted and destined to be unloved child of a game. We all want to win a trophy, this one even, but we don’t want to have to win it now. Neither ourselves or Chelsea are in the frame of mind to be viewing...
IT was raised by many heading into the season as a reason to back Liverpool to do well. Thanks partly to the inspired movements in the transfer market and the careful management of the squad by Jürgen Klopp, all of a sudden The Reds have gone from having a starting 11...
SUM up Jürgen Klopp’s approach to football and the likelihood is you will quickly start to lean on the well-worn phrases that litter any attempt to characterise his work. Whether it’s “heavy metal football”, “Gegenpressing” or the idea that a team under this manager...
