THIS was a strange one to ‘scout’ as it was hard to decide which game to watch. The easiest of the Spanish side’s recent fixtures to find a full 90 minutes of was the 3-0 defeat to Real Madrid last Wednesday. However, although I watched it, it was...

I’VE watched last Thursday about 20 times. The Lov leaping like a salmon out of the Kupa river and sending the Kop into raptures. Not a clue if they even have salmon in Croatia but you get my point: He jumped dead high and he’s Croatian. I’m struggling to figure...

THE board had just gone up showing four minutes of added time as Daniel Sturridge fed James Milner in the penalty area, writes JOEL RABINOWITZ. His first touch was heavy, just keeping the ball in play as he floated the ball to the back post, where Dejan Lovren,...

WHAT a week. What a gang of lads. What a set of Reds. Did you have a little cry? I know I did. 4-3 and I am full of joy, that angry joy, that ‘stitch that’ joy, that joy unconfined, that joy that is the language of heaven with the noise of hell, that joy...

THURSDAY brings with it Liverpool’s biggest European game since the 2010 UEFA Cup semi-final with Atletico Madrid. Little did we know when Diego Forlan was denying us the chance to batter Roy Hodgson’s Fulham in the final that it would be the last time the Reds would...

I HAVEN’T written anything on here for a couple of weeks. I’d love to think you’ve missed me but my ego’s not quite that rampant. My ego is, in fact, non-rampant enough to have looked at the stuff on the site and gone, ‘yeah, was going to...
