THINK back to Tottenham away last season, it’s a huge compliment to Jürgen Klopp that his aura and reputation went before him and had such a positive impact on the players. It’s easy to take that for granted when a new manager comes in. It took him so little time...

THE emergence of James Milner in his new defensive role has temporarily ended a litany of unusual/mad/incapable/certifiable left-backs we’ve had going back some 30 years. Although this is not what he signed up for, he has already settled in and has become a key...

IF you’re anything like me then you’re immensely frustrated that we’re having to put up with a tedious international break right now. There are loads of things about it that are annoying, but without question the main one is that we have to wait the best part of a...

ONE thing that has been abundantly clear since the first game of the season is that this is now a Jürgen Klopp team doing what Jürgen Klopp wants it to do. The word “team” is the key part of that sentence. Despite the initial burst of Sadio Mane magic on...

THIS feels like an early test of the going to every game idea. The South of Wales for a game barely into the afternoon. They send these challenges to test your will. Fortunately we’ve got a good mob and a designated driver, so that takes the edge off the 6am...

SO here’s the thing. Liverpool’s 2-1 win away to Swansea does not mean the Reds are going to win the league. But, bloody hell, does it prove they can go and win it. How many times have we seen that kind of game? A team, manifestly not as good at playing football as...
