WE’LL get to the young lad. Liverpool picked a team who looked like they had never played together before. Wolverhampton Wanderers picked a team who knew exactly what their jobs were. God, could you tell. In the first half especially, you could tell. Barely a...
JESUS Christ. That first half was pretty bad, weren’t it? Second half weren’t much cop either, mind you. Aye Aye Big Si: 5 I mean, I don’t know. Spent years watching him not be at fault for goals but never making a one-on-one save. The opposite of what you want in a...
WE’RE here again… That magical time of the year when big teams travel to far-flung muddied fields and fight for the next round and their dignity. That wonderful weekend when minnows can dream and names can be made. The great leveller. FA Cup third round...
I’D like to have ice in my veins. I’d like to be able to say we should just treat this year’s FA cup with total disdain. Many years ago though, that competition was good to me and it was good to Liverpool Football Club. Bill Shankly isn’t Bill Shankly...
SO, we’re still top. And it seems they still don’t like it. In the buildup to yesterday’s media-driven hyperbole of a “title-deciding” game at the Etihad Stadium, which it never at any point was, sections of passionately timorous social media tribes were collectively...
IT is not like it’s the first game Liverpool have lost this season. The defeat in Paris was more damaging at the time and they survived it. This result was bad but the performance wasn’t. It will be dissected in finger-pointing detail elsewhere but it was certainly...
GETTING beat hurts. It is rubbish. Hold that close, Reds. Remember that pain. Four clear. Seventeen games to go. Arsenal and City completed. You’d have taken it at the moment when Virgil van Dijk slices the ball towards Jordan Pickford’s goal, by god...
Pre Match THE problem with a free hit is you have got to land the fucker well. I mean, when you think about it, who in their right mind is offering up a free crack? Juice heads and fellas with necks like chimney stacks, that’s who. No one gets to waft a dig at these...
NEW Year, same old. It only went and happened again, didn’t it? Liverpool finished 2018 by embarrassing Arsenal, again. Bobby Firmino tormented the Gunners, again. On the first day of 2019 Harry Wilson scored for Derby County, again. Few things rival the regularity of...
THE Reds standing on the edge of a cliff. They daren’t look down. Only look across, to the horizon, to the biggest prize. It’s time for all to show faith. The faith that Liverpool will win the Premier fucking League. That’s how I’d feel if I was a Liverpool player....
