ON the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a 5-0 against Swansea. At half time it felt like yet another one of those when The Reds would inevitably pay for their profligacy, but quite the opposite. They ran out in the second half and proceeded to...

“HE’S been the most professional person I’ve seen all season. “He’s been top quality from the start and every time he gets on the pitch he does his all for the club and that’s the most important thing right now. “It’s not fair to ask those kind of questions I don’t...

TWO weeks ago in this very column, I wrote about how Liverpool seemed to have mastered the art of beating the so-called “lesser” sides. Then they went and drew with Everton and West Brom. Last week in my match ratings for the Merseyside derby I spoke about...

WE’RE almost doing this at walking pace now. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a Liverpool team demolish another side at such a canter. I’ve seen us destroy teams in a whirlwind of hustle, bustle pressing and chaos on many occasions, but I can’t remember watching us quietly...

COME on, admit it. We all panicked just a little bit. Liverpool 3-0 up and coasting by the coast, only to be pegged back to 3-1 in the 51st minute. Flashbacks of Wissam Ben Yedder and co ruining The Reds’ Champions League celebrations in Seville will have been...

AN alarm call at 3.30am is likely to result in — at best — a fumble for the snooze button and — at worst — said alarm being angrily launched across the room as an instant return to slumber is sought. So when it instead sees you springing out of...

IF, for once, the “European night” atmosphere was lacking on Wednesday it was because there was a strong whiff of déjà vu mixing with pre-Bommie Night sulphur in the November air. There was a sense, predominantly in the crowd, that the evening – despite a whole 12...

IMAGINE if Liverpool won the European Cup again. It seems such a far off possibility as we contemplate not turning makeweights Maribor into a bad season-defining banana skin of an opponent. We don’t trust our Reds much these days. We’re not sure which incarnation...
