THE least arsed I ever am about Liverpool is when they are shite. I honestly don’t care, I can detach myself from it, it just doesn’t hurt. I still pay my money, I still go, I still enjoy the wins but the horrible slog of watching a team on a downward spiral with very...

IT’S no big secret, but for those that don’t know, I’m a massive advocate of the Rafael Benitez school of just winning games without having a nervous breakdown. That said, no one was happier when Liverpool appointed Jürgen Klopp. It was a line in the sand, a marker, a...

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...
