MATTERS are out of hand. Things are out of hand. Liverpool go 1-2 and if every fibre of your being isn’t bedlam then you are doing life wrong. If every fibre of your being doesn’t scream at you that these are the greatest men who have ever have been...
FOR a night, at least, let it deny serious analysis. Watching those lads there is no excuse for greybeardedness. They were popping candy in ice cream, blue bubblegum freezy pops, flying saucers. The feelgood hit of the autumn, a reminder of summer vibes. Derling...
THE beginning of the game is mad. Flip it. It’s the final in silhouette. And bear that in mind. Bear in mind that game, what they then do and what we do in a boiling Madrid. Half the ground misses it, still sitting down as their number 17 Sissoko dashes forward....
THREE of the goals are gorgeous. Drop dead gorgeous. Language struggles for the other, for Oxlade-Chamberlain and Liverpool’s second. There isn’t an aesthetic plus point it doesn’t score double in. There are two or three Shakespearean sonnets where...
“DRAG them down to our level and kill them.” The words of Jürgen Klopp when he was asked how he would deal with better sides, more expensively assembled sides facing his Liverpool just after he was appointed. Today Manchester United did an excellent job of...

CHRIST alive we were good. It goes 3-0 and then christ alive they were scary. And we seemed scared. It was a pleasure to be at tonight, you know. It was the essence of sport in a way it shouldn’t have been. It became the best of the best against one another. It...
WINNING while playing poorly. Sign of champions, they say. There is a rush to say it from them, on both counts. Any tight frustrating victory which doesn’t purr becomes poor, especially when you are a 97-point and six-from-six outfit. And there is such a long...
SHALL we just call it 0-3? Harvey Elliot’s glorious third curled into the corner crowned an impressive display by a relatively young Liverpool side ably led by elder statesmen Dejan Lovren, Adam Lallana and most of all James Milner. It’s such a shame. It...
LUCKY Liverpool. Chelsea the latest Premier League side to try to beat the house. Chelsea the latest to come up short. Hard lines? Perhaps. But tell your hard luck stories walking. Liverpool – top of the league. For an hour: The teams line up and Liverpool are...
