IN a game which felt like a throwback to a decade ago, what a contest between two very modern football teams. Back in those days it was Rafa Benitez and Jose Mourinho locked in enthralling tactical battles, with players of supreme quality all over the pitch. Chelsea...
THERE was a lovely moment during Jürgen Klopp’s Match of the Day interview last Saturday when he banished his final fear about managing Liverpool. As his team breezed past the club record for season-opening victory runs, Klopp admitted that he liked the idea of...
I’M fascinated by time. Well, space time to be more specific. I recently attended a talk centred around Albert Einstein’s theory of relativity and general musings about string theory and time travel, something that has had me hooked for years. Without becoming too...
IT’S something of a shame that we had to dilute the anticipation of this titanic contest by prefacing it with that midweek rumble in the League Cup. Wednesday night’s was a decent game, even if we were ultimately left utterly frustrated by it. It would have been nice...
GETTING beat, then. That’s new. That’s new. We could do without it. But then we could do without Eden Hazard every week. Liverpool supporters overrate Hazard because every time we see him he verges on unplayable. He’s carrying Kryptonite. If Hazard...
Miggy: 7 Had a lovely big stay on his line first half there, didn’t he? That said, made a smart save for a fella with a pear for a head first half. Can we put this fucker to bed now? I’ll play for the FA Cup. Clyne: 6 Was in front of us first half there with loads of...
IT’S a long old season. Longer than some people possibly realise. Should Liverpool win the quadruple (think big) they could play as many as 66 games, which is a lot isn’t it? Think back to 2001 when The Reds had that really good season – they played 63 games, and that...
“I SUPPOSE it’s your year again, is it?” “Yes.” “Haha, you say that every year and you haven’t won the league for ages.” “We know, we just like to have lots of fun and be optimistic about watching our boss football team.” I could just leave it there this week. I’ve...
LIVERPOOL v Chelsea in the third round of the League Cup. An unwanted and destined to be unloved child of a game. We all want to win a trophy, this one even, but we don’t want to have to win it now. Neither ourselves or Chelsea are in the frame of mind to be viewing...
IT was raised by many heading into the season as a reason to back Liverpool to do well. Thanks partly to the inspired movements in the transfer market and the careful management of the squad by Jürgen Klopp, all of a sudden The Reds have gone from having a starting 11...
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.
