WHILE the scoreline might suggest a Boxing Day massacre, for the most part it was a performance that could be described as “professional” by Jürgen Klopp’s hot and cold Reds. It’s something that this side has been craving for far too long, the...

THIS Liverpool team — aiming for a 14th match unbeaten today — is very good you know. I’ve seen a fair few down the decades and feel qualified in my intuition. It’s funny that post-Arsenal all the focus has been on defensive collapse and the apparent...

OH fuck off, are you fucking messing, are you deliberately trying to ruin Christmas you soft cunt. “We’re defending really well at the moment, we’ve been solid.” Simon Mignolet has hailed Liverpool’s “solid” recent performances. The...

QUITE the achievement a 3-3 draw against top six rivals where both sides come away disappointed. But Liverpool and Arsenal are second to none in delivering disappointment to their supporters in new and innovative ways. Fair play to them. A Merry Christmas to them and...

“HE’S been the most professional person I’ve seen all season. “He’s been top quality from the start and every time he gets on the pitch he does his all for the club and that’s the most important thing right now. “It’s not fair to ask those kind of questions I don’t...

TWO weeks ago in this very column, I wrote about how Liverpool seemed to have mastered the art of beating the so-called “lesser” sides. Then they went and drew with Everton and West Brom. Last week in my match ratings for the Merseyside derby I spoke about...

LIVERPOOL’S intensity was exceptional as they beat Bournemouth 0-4 this evening. Nil-four is a really rather rare scoreline and rightly so. To score four at any Premier League ground without reply takes a very good performance and that is exactly what Liverpool...
