NOT dissimilar to the aftermath of Bournemouth 0 Liverpool 4, what’s really important here is that 5-0 home wins don’t feel mundane. Shouldn’t feel mundane. Not now, not ever. To put it in context, in the whole of the 2006-7 season only once did...

ON the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a 5-0 against Swansea. At half time it felt like yet another one of those when The Reds would inevitably pay for their profligacy, but quite the opposite. They ran out in the second half and proceeded to...

QUITE the achievement a 3-3 draw against top six rivals where both sides come away disappointed. But Liverpool and Arsenal are second to none in delivering disappointment to their supporters in new and innovative ways. Fair play to them. A Merry Christmas to them and...

Pre Match THE teams have just dropped there and the idea that Liverpool won’t win this game has grown wings and fucked off into the fog. That is a seriously good Liverpool team, up against a team whose Kryptonite seems to be other teams attacking them. Lets hope they...

LIVERPOOL’S intensity was exceptional as they beat Bournemouth 0-4 this evening. Nil-four is a really rather rare scoreline and rightly so. To score four at any Premier League ground without reply takes a very good performance and that is exactly what Liverpool...

THESE took four points off us last year. You know what grates the most? Their manager’s trackie bottoms. Quite clingy, weren’t they? Remember being fuming about them. Anyway. Simon Mignolet: 7 Did well to stop a corner at the start of the second half. That was about...

LIVERPOOL were fucking crap tonight. Immediately after typing that the realisation hits that this is exactly the sort of writing which means that yours truly isn’t about to be offered Barney Ronay’s column at The Guardian. We could find a wry way around...

Pre Match THERE’S you there, just lashed your phone on the deck ’cause Jürgs is playing all the boys. I think it is safe to say that he thinks we are all bellends, and in fairness he is bang on the money. That said, I can’t wait until we get beat here and...

A WIN always helps. And Liverpool didn’t get one. A win always helps because it helps you shrug off what doesn’t go well; what you disagree with, who didn’t have their best game, what wasn’t right. It’s another edgy team selection from...

TWO points dropped against the worst Premier League team to visit Anfield this season. Frustration for Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool on an afternoon where they battered Everton from pillar to post, but just forgot to win. On a weekend when rivals have dropped points, The...
