“OH no, two women love me. They’re both gorgeous and sexy. My wallet’s too small for my 50s, and my diamond shoes are too tight.” This line from Chandler Bing in a classic episode of US sitcom Friends has come to mind rather a lot lately, mainly because some...
“I COULD hear the distant drums, “The sounds of bugles were coming from afar, “Can you hear the drums, Fernando?” (Andersson, 1975) Mo Salah could hear them. Sadio Mane could hear them. Bobby Firmino too. Three hearts beating as one. Once...
FOOTBALL is a fickle sport, not for the faint of heart. There will be highs, Liverpool’s scintillating ride to Kyiv last season was one. There will be lows, such as the dreary Roy Hodgson era that tested even the most optimistic supporters. It’s the heartbreak that...
THEY say good things come to those who wait. Those of us who queue for hours in lines at the post office will disagree, or when you wait for two hours to get a table at a posh restaurant only to get served something that looks like an old shoe drizzled with marmite...
“IF it is an open game at Anfield, you don’t even have one chance, not even one per cent of a chance. “Up and down I’m pretty sure they are the best team in the world in these transitions, offensive, defensive. It is built for that. In that situation, they are...

YOU can blame the pitch. You can blame the lack of changes from the weekend. You can blame Jürgen Klopp’s tactics on the night, or that he refused to make a positive substitution until it was too late. Whatever avenue of finger pointing you choose to explore,...
JESUS. Ran ourselves into the ground for a big dose of nothing but cramp and tired legs for Sunday. Would probably have been better if they had just beat us early doors. Fine lines between a good, old-fashioned, hard-fought European away point, and a massive bowl of...
I REMEMBER a time when a Liverpool manager suggesting that players within a squad should be rotated was met with incredulity. The masses mocked, the media scorned and the ex-professionals screamed from the hilltops “WE DIDN’T NEED A REST IN OUR DAY”. It seems...
On this week’s Gutter we speculate about Liverpool’s approach to the managerial job, whether they’ll stick with Arne Slot or, with Xabi Alonso available, they’ll look to bring in the former Leverkusen and Real Madrid manager or look at other alternative candidates.
