HOW do you play against a proud team who are so far behind in a two-legged tie their only mission is to not be humiliated further? Factor in the small matter of a game against Manchester United at the weekend with lungs and legs to protect, Liverpool, despite naming a...
THIS is the eighth Champions League game at Anfield this decade. For all the talk of maybe staying in the pub, of maybe there being something else to do: the eighth. It’s 2018. The average has been one a year. At the end of last season, Jürgen Klopp said this is...
Pre Match THIS is all but sorted, isn’t it? The amount of spares knocking about you would think these aren’t bothering sending a team tonight and are putting out 10 bottles of Superbock with a piri-piri chicken in goal. Let me take you back, circa 2003, to a...
SEVEN months into the Liverpool career of a summer signing and no semblance of the footballer you were expecting. You might imagine this means he has failed to live up to your expectations, that he has toiled through his first season and underwhelmed since his arrival...

SO there’s Rafa Benitez there, looking all managerial and important. What a man. Have a lovely big reminisce about them mad days with that mad crazy, needly bastard in charge of us. While you are doing that have a lovely big think about the now and have a look at...
CALL it run of the mill; it’s the thing that’s easy to say. Just a run-of-the-mill home victory. Pre match we’re in The Hole In The Wall and this bloke comes over and points to three fellas and says that these lads have come from California and had...
IN a surprisingly relaxed press briefing earlier this week, and with the return of Rafa Benitez on the horizon, Jürgen Klopp was predictably asked his opinion on a man still held in the highest regard by most Liverpool fans. And the German couldn’t have been more...
