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...

LAST season Liverpool came back from this international break and lost heavily away to rivals Manchester City. In midweek, they drew a home European game they had dominated against Sevilla after Roberto Firmino missed a key penalty which drove his form into the...
I AM currently reading, and very much enjoying, Damian Hughes’ new book The Barcelona Way, which is all about understanding the winning DNA built at Barcelona. Damian is a psychologist who specialises in the development of high-performance cultures, and has...
FIRSTLY, let’s start by getting them all out of the way… Mo Salah was devastated Liverpool scored an injury time Champions League winner on Tuesday against Paris Saint-Germain, and in his clear repulsion he unmasked his disdain for both his teammates and the...
