I bumped into a good Red friend this week at a GSCE awards night at my daughter’s school. Peter Harvey and I go back years, to school days in Crosby, Merseyside but more memorably to the local betting shop throughout our student days in the late 1980s. Post...
THEY flit. Sadio Mane comes across and Mo Salah sees him. Goes the other side and fills the space. No one sees this because right in front of all of us, the Stoke players, the Liverpool end, everyone is fixated on Mane. How can you not be? The pace and the power of...
LAD. Getting here was like Whacky Races. Whacky Races with additional chat. We went through Wales. We went through England. We ended up in the heart of this weird little country, parked on a motorway, literally started to run down the motorway, ran back to the car,...
WHEN I saw the selection I presumed we were in for something; in for a trick. I presumed there was some grand unifying plan of Liverpool’s intention, something to thrill and surprise. I thought it may be similar to West Ham or perhaps an unlikely back three to...
Pre match THE hair transplant derby. I’ve been thinking about the process of stitching some hair from one part of your head onto another part of your head a fair bit, there. As a baldy, there is nothing quite like a cold wind to have you harking back to the glory days...
Pre Match Alright gang. You probably hadn’t noticed but I didn’t do the ratings on Saturday against Southampton and I didn’t half miss it. So, to make it up to myself I have been scoring stuff, everyday stuff, out of 10. It’s well better than, say, not scoring stuff....
LIVERPOOL 0-3 ahead on 30 minutes. Fabulous. Up the Reds. I have seen none of the goals. I see the replay of the third in a Seville bar where they make me welcome. Drinks across the bar. A seat made available on a table. Nice people. This is important. Nice people....
THE new normal? Let’s not get carried away, but something is happening in these Liverpool matches. Something interesting (at least for us). Something we haven’t seen. The better side is mostly on top. There are squalls but they are mostly on top. A couple...
THE perfect start to this mad run of fixtures that The Reds are about to embark on, and it never really seemed as though things wouldn’t go to plan. Simon Mignolet: 6 Had so little to do, but could have been off his line quicker a few times. Did some mad drag...
HOW strange was that first half? It was everything a football match shouldn’t be. Let’s be crystal clear — I’m not complaining. We tell ourselves all sorts of lies about the fixture list. We say “well, it evens itself out”. We say...
Having stabilised their form in the league and put themselves firmly back in the pack chasing Champions League qualification, despite some questionable performances, Liverpool head into Spring with a favourable run of fixtures, can the Reds build on their momentum as business end of the season edges closer?
Rob Gutmann hosts Neil Atkinson, Beth Lindop and Ian Salmon.
