LIVERPOOL 2 WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2: MATCH RATINGS

ANOTHER Sad Sunday. Only one win in six after Europa League football. But where we tired? Or clueless? Or can we just not defend set pieces? Make your own mind up. I’m just here to give scores. Simon Mignolet 3 Looks awful for the first. Little positive after...

LIVERPOOL 2 WEST BROMWICH ALBION 2: MATCH REVIEW

SION no possible reviews. West Brom 23 different reviews. There’s an awareness watching the game now that there need to be words. They can be words of love or words of anger or words of storytelling or words of analysis but there need to be words. The match...

LIVERPOOL: WHAT’S WRONG WITH SAYING WE MIGHT WIN IT?

WHEN it comes to sport, at my heart, I am a bit of a pessimist. Not one that drones on and on with constant negativity, but rather one who is very reluctant to get carried away too quickly. In 2014, as Liverpool’s steam train rolled relentlessly on towards the league...

LIVERPOOL 1 SWANSEA CITY 0: MATCH REVIEW

IN writing about Swansea City you are also writing about Bordeaux. Which is hugely convenient as there wasn’t a review of Bordeaux. There wasn’t a review of Bordeaux because pretty suddenly I wasn’t at all well. Aching joints, sweating profusely,...

LIVERPOOL 1 SWANSEA CITY 0: MATCH RATINGS

ON a blustery day that was tough to watch football in, never mind play in, Liverpool had just enough to get past a disappointingly spirited Swansea side. The Reds started well, but found it harder to create chances as it went on and Swansea bedded in. The goal came at...
