The Friday Show this week starts off focussing on Everton with Matt Jones ahead of their visit to Old Trafford on Sunday. Everton head there off the back of three wins but also head there with a sense of identity. Marco Silva has them playing closer to his template...
JIMMY Case and Ray Kennedy were best mates. The only time you could separate them was on matchdays when they patrolled opposite flanks of one of the finest midfield quartets ever assembled in English club football. The brilliant bookends to Graeme Souness and Terry...
IN the buildup to Sunday’s match between Liverpool and Manchester City there was again much talk of a “rivalry” between the clubs and supporters. Be it “the battle bus”, as the camera-packed team coach was described by one tabloid, the bizarre song about Liverpool’s...
NINETY minutes of sheer hell, John Barnes said years ago. The words echoed through today. Liverpool 0 Manchester City 0. Unbelievable we pay good money to be made to feel like that. If it wasn’t hell it was purgatory. The prospect of losing loomed large, the...

I DON’T take defeat well. I don’t take not winning well. Three games of only this makes me blue. Like a Blue. They’re calling Liverpool v Manchester City a “title decider in October”. Actually, I might be the first to have dubbed it this, but what the heck. The...
Jürgen Klopp was unsure about the availability of Naby Keita ahead of Sunday’s clash with Manchester City, with the German confirming his summer signing suffered a back spasm in the loss to Napoli. Will he be a big miss, or can The Reds find another midfielder...
THE realisation of having to feel defeat again has been a sobering one over the past week or so. I had rid myself of it, exorcised it from my very being, positively reinforced by the sight of Liverpool winning games of football. Sometimes at a canter, other times on a...
YOU can blame the pitch. You can blame the lack of changes from the weekend. You can blame Jürgen Klopp’s tactics on the night, or that he refused to make a positive substitution until it was too late. Whatever avenue of finger pointing you choose to explore,...
