IN the wind and the snow, Mo Salah confirmed he’s the best in the land with a minimum of fuss. It’s a debut season from the stars, a return which goes beyond expectation and even hope. We started the season with conversations around “reversion to the...
Sat in the office yesterday chatting the worst Friday wham you can imagine when my colleague Gareth Roberts piped up about the Watford game at the start of the season feeling like ages ago and he had a point, but maybe not in the way he might have meant. Is 217 days...
FOR some reason which currently escapes me, I’ve ended up watching the match in the depths of the Cambridgeshire Fens in a gaff called The Shed, with this poster on the wall: Now lads, before we get started, if I’m going to be able to watch the game here we need to...
I WASN’T unduly disheartened by that defeat at Old Trafford last week. In a slightly perverse way I thought it was a marker of the progress the team is making this campaign. We’d lost just three times in the league previously, and two of those setbacks had felt...
A FEW things have happened during the past week that I wouldn’t have expected when I woke up on Saturday morning. Up towards the top of the list of unexpected events, though, was our much-maligned Croatian centre back quoting Robert Kiyosaki on his Instagram account....
IT’S the worst feeling. I know for some it willl be losing to Everton, but many younger Reds won’t even remember that as a thing. They were strange days of inept managers from Croydon and Paul Konchesky (don’t have nightmares, kids). Losing to Manchester United hurts....
THE 200th meeting between Liverpool and Manchester United was a huge step towards deciding who would be “best of the rest” in the Premier League. A win for The Reds would have put them a point ahead of their north-west rivals, but it was Jose Mourinho’s side who came...
ONE of them, isn’t it? Fuck it, it’s gone, in fact, I’d go so far as to say that the biggest compliment you could ever give to how good Liverpool are is how Jose Mourinho and Manchester United lined up today. When you’ve got the manager who’s spent more than any other...
A GAME of football broke out. An intriguing one. I mean it is crap to lose and that. We’ll come back to that in a second. But it was intriguing. Take all the nonsense out of it — all the canal gear — what we saw was a very good Liverpool side who...
HOW many times have you seen that first half there. What is it? The pitch? The ground? The referee? Answer, probably all of the above. We need a massive, big think about how we manage games when we go one down. Heads went. Collective heads. Forcing it left, right and...
