IT becomes increasingly difficult to make sense of Liverpool’s season as the lurch continues from title contenders at New Year to current outsiders for a spot in the top four. The commonly held current consensus is that the Reds can beat the good teams and not the...

I HAVE sort of given myself Monday off. In the way that I’m still recording The Coach Home and I’m still getting a million emails and WhatsApp messages to do with work. But its relatively lazy and relaxed. For now. The reason for this is that I have guests...

SEVEN minutes in and Leicester have a corner. Mark Albrighton swings it in and it doesn’t come to anything, but that was when I started to mentally turn off from the game. Liverpool were going to lose. It wasn’t based on an incident or a goal, but it was a repeat, a...

“IF he was not good and a few others were not good then we could not win against Tottenham.” The words of Jürgen Klopp during his pre-match press conference for the Leicester game when answering a question about Gini Wijnaldum and how well he had played against Spurs....
