A LIST of things to start. Benteke’s performance was mad. Enrique really enjoyed himself in the end. And should have been slipped in during that final attack. He’d have buried it and run into the Kop and just got off. Oh Captain my Captain. Feels like...
WELL that was enough for that. Our young lads might not have proved they were good enough for Liverpool’s first team, but they proved they were better than League Two. They passed Exeter off the park and then kicked it in the goal three times. The Grecians (oh...
AS a writer, I have an ego. You can tell from the fact I’ve started with the words “as a writer”. Reeks of ego. I’m looking for engagement, some kind of response. I don’t care if it’s agreement or sheer outrage, I just want that...
THE best thing that has happened to the Reds since New Year’s Day which doesn’t involve Joe Allen is the side Jürgen Klopp selected against Exeter City on a Friday night. It acted as a reminder of two basic points for us all: a) Gang of lads wearing the...

THERE has been lots of talk this week of the dilemma facing Jürgen Klopp as Liverpool prepare to face Exeter City in the FA Cup third round tonight. The manager is in an almost impossible position with a squad down to the most calcium-deficient of bare bones. Amid a...
LOOKING forward to the FA Cup game against Exeter City? I am. I mean, I’m not going much as I’d like to as the pay days between December and January are long and concerning so I can’t justify the cost or time off work, but I’m looking forward to it all the same....
LAST week I wrote about the excitement and anticipation of an FA Cup semi-final. While there were traditional nerves, I don’t think any of us envisaged such an insipid Liverpool performance; an absolute dog of show. I’ve had a funny feeling for a while — based...
