WHATEVER club you support, we all have our pre-match routines: attire adorned, stomach lined, bets placed, mates met, ale sank, turnstile clicked, adrenaline pumping, form forgotten, writes JOEL ROOKWOOD. With kick off imminent you become consumed by the impending...

“WHO are you giving the job to? No, let me tell you. It’s Graeme fucking Souness, isn’t it?” Phil Thompson and Souness never really saw eye to eye and here was ruthless Bob Paisley bestowing the gnarly Scot with the Liverpool captaincy so cherished by Kirkby’s finest....

IT’S been a joyless week. Calamitous defeats don’t aid restful sleep. Saturday can’t come too soon and yet simultaneously may just make things worse. I’ve been arguing on social media, but mainly in my head, with good friends about the manager. I like the manager and...

THERE’S a strange phenomenon occurring around the fields of Anfield Road at the moment. It’s something I noticed months ago and have been watching with fascination as it’s developed, while not being entirely sure what I think about the whole thing. As the performances...

A STROLL? A side put to the sword? An enjoyable game for Liverpool? It’s the last thing I hope that Liverpool focus on in the dressing room, on the plane, on the training pitch. How enjoyable it was to play, and create, and score. And score. We can want them to...

HARK back to May after Liverpool had secured their top four position on the final day of the season and you would’ve had some very long odds on Alberto Moreno still being at the club come the start of the 2017-18 season. Even more improbable would’ve been the...

WE’RE not back but we will be soon. A bit of trust is required. Liverpool are a good team playing as well as it can, absent the confidence and concentration that only winning brings. One win in eight games sounds bad. It is bad. But if there’s a way to be as good as...
