DEFENDING things like this always come with a caveat so here it is. Throwing bottles in the street is not a good thing. I’m dead against it. Presumably apart from the lads who were doing it, we all are. I’m less concerned about the safety of the Manchester City coach...
THAT contained multitudes. First of all: Don’t say they weren’t rattled. Don’t say it all doesn’t mean something, this thing supporters do. Don’t say that and never say that again. In truth, it took more than some noise. City were...
THERE was so much talk going into this game. So much talk that it almost felt like the buildup to this Champions League quarter final first leg against Manchester City wouldn’t live up to its own hype. Champions League first legs can be drab affairs, focus laid...
SOMETHING about these nights, isn’t there? Something that makes you giddy from the minute you get up in the morning. It’s hard to explain. People can poke fun; Evertonians can poke fun, but ask their lads if they were affected by the crowd. They settled quite well,...

THERE are times during our lives when the steady ebb and flow of events seem to lead almost inextricably to defining moments or decisions, as if the wheels have been set in motion by divine intervention, writes GEORGE BEVAN. As Liverpool fans, this kind of romanticism...
IT’S been a strange old season for Sadio Mane. While the general perception has been that he isn’t quite performing with the same panache and potency which he demonstrated consistently during his first season at Liverpool, he remains an absolutely integral component...
JÜRGEN Klopp once described his grand strategy as being a process of “dragging teams down to our level, and then beating them”. He was modestly diminishing a much more sophisticated process. This is not what his Borussia Dortmund did and not what his...
