A REAL strange game. Where we create more but still look toothless. Where we are part unlucky but mostly clueless. Where things could have been much different, but you still wonder what the plan is. At both ends. Tough month for the manager ahead. Simon Mignolet 5...
BEEN nervous about this game for about five days. Bloody Monday night fixtures. Dragging out the torment. But this is what happens when football games matter again. Long may it continue. Must warn you though. A pub quiz has come on in the pub I’m in so I might...
I’M in a car with five men (or I was, then my phone battery died). Gibbons is in Lisbon with his wonderful wife. Laura really is brilliant. Like if she wasn’t I’d gloss over this like a snide. Make it go as quick as I can. Instead I want to dwell and...
WE’RE going to Wembley. Whether we like it or not. I’d rather play at Villa Park, even Old Trafford, but anyway. They don’t involve me in these decisions. Reminder: a 5 is alright. The Reds Are Gnarling Up The Hill Boys. SIMON MIGNOLET: 9 That save...
THAT was a really strange game to score players. It seemed there was as much wrong collectively as individually. But I’m here to have a go. So go easy… SIMON MIGNOLET 5 The big Belgian in our goal makes good saves from Cazorla and Ramsey early on and a...
WELL it’s three points isn’t it? Wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win at this stage of the season. Up the Reds. SIMON MIGNOLET 7 Saved all the balls that were kicked at him. You’ll get some lads moaning about his kicking but, call me old...
FRUSTRATING game. But it’s another game of football to look forward to so Phil Blundell will be pleased. We should win there…hopefully. Anyway. Some letters followed by a number you probably won’t agree with. SIMON MIGNOLET: 6 Was fine. Could have...
THAT was the embodiment of two teams playing at their natural level. We looked like a very good side playing our game and playing it comfortably. Burnley looked like a side well drilled but limited. Ultimately, they tired and were bewildered by the speed and style of...
REST, sleep, recovery? It’s overrated. Our lads got back at 4am on Friday while City slept for about a week. Couldn’t tell could you? Liverpool ripped up the script and wrote their own again. The billionaires will have to wait for their Anfield win....
LAST week, when we decided to do player ratings, John said: “Do you want to do Besiktas at home as the first one?” And I said “Well, as you’ll do most of them, you do the first one and set the tone. So hang on for Southampton.” The tone he set was dead funny....
