I COULDN’T sleep last night. I woke at 1.30am after trying to get an early night and was wide awake for three hours. Wide-eyed and wired. Why? It could be other things. It could be thinking about work or thinking about bits of writing. It could be The Reds. That...

WE’RE gonna win the league, aren’t we? Here are the ratings: Loris Karius: 6 Had, literally, nothing to do bar pick the ball out the net, so hard to judge. Everyone seemed a little more relaxed, though, and he’s gorgeous. Nathaniel Clyne: 7 Defended well and ran...

LIVERPOOL swept aside Hull City in confident and ruthless fashion, beating them 5-1 in front of Big Anfield. Pre-match: As expected Loris Karius started in goal, though Ragnar Klavan was also given a start — with Dejan Lovren suffering from a viral infection...

THIS is the moment where this happens. Right here, right now. Liverpool FC win the league if they beat Hull at home. Hull at home is the most important game Liverpool FC will play in 26 years. Crazy? Yes. Ridiculous hyperbole? Why not. Ludicrous aggrandisement of a...

MOST Liverpool supporters would agree that they were excited by the introduction of Loris Karius the other night. While he did OK, there is a temptation to go overboard about his display, although it was exciting to see somebody new in there — and to have a real...

THEY are age-old questions for women’s football in the UK — how can the game develop? How can it make the leap to mainstream? How do we get more people playing and more people watching? After watching endless hours of the women’s game in England...
