THERE was so much talk going into this game. So much talk that it almost felt like the buildup to this Champions League quarter final first leg against Manchester City wouldn’t live up to its own hype. Champions League first legs can be drab affairs, focus laid...
LIVERPOOL are in the latter rounds of the Champions League again and have set the stage for another atmospheric European night at Anfield, writes JOEL SANDERSON-MURRAY. It’s been too long, nearly a decade, for a night like this to come along. Anfield has been yearning...
THE buildup to what promises to be a classic of its kind at Anfield has been slightly strange so far to these eyes. Manchester City – despite carrying that name and coming from that place – don’t really generate any kind of raw emotion. They’re from what is...

LIVERPOOL buried a ghost this afternoon on the south coast. A big Toxic Thunder-splashed ghost of Christmas past was well and truly consigned along with the memory of Ryan Fraser embodying a combination of Lionel Messi and David Fairclough at the mere sight of a...
I DON’T know about you, but I’m knackered. This glut of games before New Year isn’t even half complete and I’m flagging already. Imbued with Bill Shankly’s notion of “professional” support; pre-match drills, the matches themselves, and even the warm downs involve a...
