TO be a little slow, a little late. A little slow is fine. Slow to the pace but not the uptake. No requirements to catch up in a race in which you’ve already been overlapped. A little late is equally acceptable. Not being first to the party and subsequently first to...
PAST mistakes are not easy things to admit to for a proud man and I can think of no prouder football man than Graeme Souness. His confessional reflections on his management of Liverpool during Sky’s Monday Night Football programme this week came from deep within the...
“HE gets forward and he shoots, he takes freekicks as a teenager in the Champions League. “That tells you he’s not only got the confidence in himself, his teammates have confidence in him and that is huge.” Confidence is a strange concept in football....
YOU want to see our spec there, you know. Gazprom have our season ticket spec in the Kemlyn for a jolly band of Russians, Serbs, wools and fat fellas so we get lashed elsewhere for the Euro games. Tough shit, lads. Thanks for the warm up. Our spec is row nine behind...
YOU say you’ve got to go home. It is always someone’s first game. Always someone’s first time. This is important to remember when you rock up to Anfield giving few fucks, striding through the gloaming as the nights draw in. Remember this is...
IT’S been an interesting start to Xherdan Shaqiri’s Liverpool career. In one way, low key. In another, full of incident. He missed half of pre season due to his World Cup exploits, and then scored an amazing acrobatic goal in a 4-1 win against Manchester...
THEY say good things come to those who wait. Those of us who queue for hours in lines at the post office will disagree, or when you wait for two hours to get a table at a posh restaurant only to get served something that looks like an old shoe drizzled with marmite...
IT’S turning out to be a strange old season, this one. I genuinely don’t know how I feel about it. I mean, I’m happy, I think. Yeah, I must be. A good barometer of my football contentedness is my inclination to watch other teams play football. I’m watching any old...
EXACTLY one year ago, if you picked up the papers as a Red, or clicked on something about Liverpool online, it didn’t make for easy reading. The Reds had been on the end of a 4-1 defeat away to Tottenham Hotspur and the boots were flying in on a side that sat ninth in...
FAITH is a funny thing, isn’t it? The Reds are the best Reds I have seen in probably my whole adult life and here I am as the team news drops, with my undies in my throat, wishing I was one of them grey fellas who liked nothing. I mean, the team has the look of one...
With Arne Slot under further pressure after another disappointing result at Anfield, dropping points again to promoted opposition and with certain candidates now available, if LFC do decide to make a change, who would they look to bring in?
Rob Gutmann hosts Ste Evans, Lola Katz-Roberts and Neil Atkinson.
