WE’VE come a long way. Just typing out the header – Barcelona away – made we shiver, made me twitch. To be a team facing them in the semi final of a European Cup is something to be. We can know we should feel lucky to be where we are today yet...
WEDNESDAY evening sees Barcelona take on Liverpool in the first leg of their UEFA Champions League semi final. Inevitably, the thing that people are most curious about is, how will they deal with the best player in the world? To be honest, I have no idea. Barca are...
GOING away to follow your football club is always different and always special. However, some trips are more special than others. As Liverpool fans, we’ve been spoiled down the years, even during what we would regard as barren times. So many supporters of other teams...
GULFS. Rivers. Oceans between these sides. But what matters is this: everyone gave the best of themselves, broadly speaking. Whatever happened in the end of kicking the ball in the goal. There is a thing we do where we forget this fact – Huddersfield’s...
Alisson: 8 I reckon I’m giving him a couple of points for not sitting down first half. Like, lashing his boots off, spreading a blanket out and maybe eating some cheese and crackers. Made a good save second half which frankly he should have been lying down for,...
IT happened for the first time on Wednesday night. Not Manchester United being predictably devoid of the physical or mental sturdiness to compete at the levels they once set. Not Manchester City showing a glimmer of their fragility before becoming an overpowering...
IT will be strange at Anfield in Friday night. As we danced and bounced in the Cardiff sunshine last weekend, dreaming of and expecting a Man City slip in their derby, hoping for the break in the case that would open this league up for us, Huddersfield on a Friday...
WHAT’S your perspective on hope? I think that’s where we are now. What it all comes down to. What do you choose? Do you believe it’s the hope that kills you? Or that once you choose hope anything is possible? Do you still believe? Do you dare to allow yourself to...
FEW things are certain in life. Only death, taxes, and people calling a Liverpool player a cheat if they are awarded a penalty. Mo Salah’s so-called “dive” at Cardiff on Sunday had many rival fans and media pundits fuming, bizarrely, even though they also mostly...
ONE of the best teams Pep Guardiola has seen in his life. A team that has bettered the Rafa Benítez side that clocked up 86 points and featured 24-goal Steven Gerrard, one of the best of our own. A group that has won more points than the Brendan Rodgers team that...
Are Liverpool Too Stubborn For Their Own Good?: The Gutter
In your first Gutter of the week, and with only just 11 days left of the transfer window, we look at Liverpool’s dogmatic approach to both transfer business and contract negotiations, even if the cost of lack of compromise means short and potentially long term pain on the pitch as key players enter the critical periods of their contracts.
Rob Gutmann hosts Jay Kavanagh, Beth Lindop and Sean Rogers.
