THE general consensus in the build-up to Saturday’s game was that this type of match, playing against shite at home, was the real litmus test for Jürgen’s Mighty Reds. Never mind going to Arsenal & Chelsea and winning, never mind outplaying Tottenham and having...

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...

LIVERPOOL face Hull City at Anfield on Saturday and it is already being billed as a big test of how far the Reds can realistically go this season. We spoke to Ian Waterson from Hull fanzine City Independent to get the latest on the opposition. Firstly, tell us a bit...

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...
