WE can and will talk about all of it but let’s start with the second half. From the outset, when Liverpool could sit on a one-goal lead, they throw the kitchen sink at West Ham. They demonstrated enormous superiority over West Ham. Liverpool didn’t sit in...

WELL, how do you slag them off when, actually, they’ve not been that bad and the opposition have played well and rode their luck massively? If you want to blame someone, blame me, because every time I turn up Fraser Forster, who’s absolutely shite, somehow...

AND we’re back. I’m back. Liverpool are back. This is a status that needs constant updating. From the low of losing grumpily at home to Crystal Palace to the unbridled ecstasy of our thrill ride of a victory over Watford. What a roller coaster ride the...
