LIVERPOOL face Sion in black kits. Sion red; red and starred. Liverpool dark and trim. The darkness sweeping around the place. The pit. The pit. The game starts. The selection. We can’t go on like this. That’s what you think. Questioning. How did we? The...
LIVERPOOL’S private flight to Geneva is about to begin its descent and the cabin crew’s updates are distributed through the PA system. This does not break Divock Origi’s concentration as he details the differences in his game in an interview first...
TALES linking five-a-side football to Liverpool FC go all the way back to the first training sessions under Bill Shankly in December 1959. And with a new book on the shelves for Christmas, The Five-A-Side Bible, which details everything from the sports science, to the...

JÜRGEN Klopp’s post-Newcastle debacle press conference made for an interesting watch for a number of reasons. First, it was clear he was absolutely fuming and in no mood for bullshit after Liverpool undid much of their recent good work in front of the watching...
BACK down to earth with an almighty bump. It’s rather worrying that we didn’t seem to have any answers to a team working quite hard. Concerning that the only shot on target was a limp Dejan Lovren header (Albie’s offside-not-offside worldie aside)....
LIVERPOOL were not at the races. Liverpool looked at times like they had forgotten about the races. They weren’t complacent. They were off the pace all over the pitch. There are very few whose mind and body were what they needed to be. Joe Allen, perhaps, was...
OH what it is to be a Red at the moment. The birds are singing, the sun is shining… well actually no that’s a lie, the birds are getting blown away in the wind and it’s regularly pissing down with rain, but the footie’s been pretty good. The Reds are mustard again, at...
