IS there a danger, however small, that we may be becoming spoiled watching this incessant winning machine week in, week out? It was a question some dared to air over a post-match pint on Saturday afternoon. In Sheffield, the travelling support from Liverpool wasn’t at...
WRITING about Liverpool can be pretty easy at times. They give us so much content. At any time in the last 15 years there will have been a topic that needs addressing or controversy that requires either a voice or swift debunking. There’s seldom been a week where...
NOTHING quite like a “hard to gauge” European challenge. Salzburg are an unknown quantity. They could be mustard and yet equally they might be a bit shite. The mystery is part of the fun and feels comfortingly old school. Back in the glory years, when our first four...

LIVERPOOL went to Sheffield and won today. That, of course, is only part of the story. If you wish you can call Liverpool lucky. Fortunate. Ripe for an upset. I prefer to describe us as top of the league. That means you can describe individual performances as you...
I DON’T think I’ve ever been to Bramall Lane. It’s one of the few important grounds in the country I’ve not been to. Probably. Maybe I went there in the ’90s. I used to guard my trove of football memories so securely. Every game, every...
XABI Alonso, a man who brought grace and elegance to the Anfield turf, once said: “I don’t think tackling is a quality. Tackling is a last resort, and you will need it, but it isn’t a quality to aspire to.” Who didn’t enjoy the classy midfielder at...
