HOW do you play against a proud team who are so far behind in a two-legged tie their only mission is to not be humiliated further? Factor in the small matter of a game against Manchester United at the weekend with lungs and legs to protect, Liverpool, despite naming a...
THIS is the eighth Champions League game at Anfield this decade. For all the talk of maybe staying in the pub, of maybe there being something else to do: the eighth. It’s 2018. The average has been one a year. At the end of last season, Jürgen Klopp said this is...
Pre Match THIS is all but sorted, isn’t it? The amount of spares knocking about you would think these aren’t bothering sending a team tonight and are putting out 10 bottles of Superbock with a piri-piri chicken in goal. Let me take you back, circa 2003, to a...

SO The Reds are in the European Cup knockouts for the first time since we were all either a) kids, b) optimistic, or c) less baldy. These are what proper nerves are all about. Apparently, the last time we had one of these was that mad Chelsea one where Javier...
IT’S Feb and it’s fab. The Reds are back in the knockout stage of the European Cup for the first time since 2009. Those were heady days. I was nine years younger for start. My youngest, Rafael, wasn’t even alive. Well, he was about to be alive. I remember the draw...
