CAN’T help but feel the word “naivety” going round and round my head after that one. A game Liverpool could have won about six times over ends up as a draw, and could very well have been a defeat. Jürgen Klopp owed Sevilla. As he alluded to in his press...
DON’T know where to start, don’t know what to say. A result like that hurts — and so it should. On the fourth Emre Can was punching the turf in frustration. And so he should. Many of the travelling support had long since left and headed for home. And...
WELL, that hurt. If you’re going to go down to 10 men against anyone, then it’s probably best not to do so against a Pep Guardiola team. Only a few weeks ago Everton had an extra man against them and still got completely dominated in the second half. Make no mistake,...
THE first big league occasion of the season. The first big win. Talking in general terms? Not quite. Last season last year’s champions beat last season’s runners-up but this feels like a north west kind of a season, a north west kind of a campaign. I could...
LIVERPOOL absolutely tore Arsenal apart at Anfield, again. It’s becoming a regular occurrence, but no less pleasurable to witness. Yes, the Gunners had their problems with their midfielders deciding that defending was an optional extra, and Arsene Wenger’s bizarre...
BRING. Bring on. Bring on your. Bring on your Internazionale. Liverpool are not immovable, never entirely not irresistible but good lord were they very good indeed at times this evening. The key times were these: 0 – 22. During that time they took the whole tie...
LIVERPOOL are back in the Champions League. Where this club belongs. Anfield deserves to host it. Jürgen Klopp deserves to manage in it. These players deserve to play in it. We deserve to watch it. And it will, and it will, and he will, and they will… and we will. I...
LIVERPOOL’S victory against Crystal Palace felt like a run-of-the-mill win but threw up this question: Is it run of the mill if it actually doesn’t happen very often? It felt like we as supporters had actually forgotten what this sort of thing was like...
DIDN’T see anyone calling 1-0 in the buildup. Liverpool far from scintillating, but they huffed and puffed and eventually blew the house down. Or at least dismantled it gently and politely, without causing too much disruption to the neighbours. Still unbeaten....
THE midweek defeat of Hoffenheim lifted many of the early season storm clouds brewing over Anfield. An impressive and crucial 2-1 win in Germany has all but secured Liverpool’s imperative target of Champions League group stage qualification after an eventual...
