WIN or die, the banner read before kick off. Win or die. Liverpool, endlessly contrary, chose neither. They come away from Moscow the better side but not the winning side; they come away from Moscow a side that has failed to win but one unlikely to die in the...

HOLD on while I dust off my template opening for most Liverpool games over the last few years. Something something unlucky. Something else poor finishing. Something or other incredible opposition goalkeeping, and then also sloppy goal conceded. Blah blah blah beer in...

SO sum that up? From the moment the Champions League draw was made and everyone started talking about how Liverpool had done alright alarm bells started ringing, because we’ve been here before and it’s not ended well. Of Liverpool’s last two sojourns into the...

Liverpool throw away a winning position against Sevilla. What was the tactical feeling around the game? What could have been done differently? Was it Liverpool all over? Are there enough post mortems after goals? Ruthlessness come back up as it always does these...
