THE World Club Cup final is only a day away now. There seems to be a sense that in many ways Jürgen Klopp, and perhaps others at Liverpool FC too, will be glad to see the back of it. From the start, much of the message from the manager, the players, the club in...
THIS is unchartered territory. The vagaries of our fixture schedule have all but forced Jürgen Klopp into sacrificing a competition. The League Cup is the fall guy. To be fair, it’s used to being the ugly duckling trophy in which the big clubs field their squad...
MADDEST team ever, them. Was like their manager made them all lash a load of Red Bull down their necks before the game started, watched them all run on fast forward for the first 45. They only have a few players with genuine quality but I’m sure they snuck a few...

IT didn’t feel like I thought it would. There was undoubtedly relief as Adam Lallana prodded in a late equaliser to retain Liverpool’s unbeaten start to the league campaign, but Jamie Carragher pulling out ‘Blue Steel’ as Gary Neville sank in his chair in...
ONE of the endearing features of the classic film Back To The Future is that once Marty McFly has seen how things could unfold in an alternative reality, he’s more appreciative of what he’s got around him in the here and now. Jürgen Klopp’s four-year anniversary at...
WE are Liverpool, this means more. A statement that is to many as antagonising by its ambiguity as it is motivating. Yet enter any tangible or virtual Liverpool FC platform and you will see the slogan plastered around in various forms. Visible throughout any such...
