THE South Coast Everton 0 Liverpool 2. The Reds went into this afternoon’s game with the knowledge that a win would well and truly ensure second place is all of our business, and they delivered against a side who love a “boo” so much at the mere sight of...
MAD what happens when your goalkeeper isn’t a nervous wreck, permanently looking over his shoulder, isn’t it? A clean sheet and a 2-0 away victory with a game-affecting save in a decisive moment. I felt sorry for Loris Karius last week against Tottenham Hotspur. A...
THE game is about the second goal. The second goal tells us everything about the game and about these two teams and where they are right now. It is a goal Southampton never score. It is a goal Liverpool score all the time. Or a goal it feels like we score all the...

LIVERPOOL Football Club operates at its supreme best, from top to bottom, when it exerts controlled aggression in all aspects of its operations. The lack of controlled aggression in all parts of the club, from top to bottom, is, in my view, currently the difference...
ANOTHER crazy win? Nope, far from it. Very much far from it. Sanity abounded in Liverpool’s performance, in the setup, in the game management. Liverpool went through the gears against Huddersfield almost at will but what’s noticeable is that the opening...
