WE’RE back then. Oh good lord we are back. The sweat is pouring off me. My heart is pounding. My legs are shaking. I have hugged a million strangers. We’ve just won but I might not make it through 37 more. I can’t wait for 37 more. I couldn’t...
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...
QUESTIONS: What does a Liverpool goal look like? Any ideas? I’m stumped. I know what a *Daniel Sturridge* goal looks like. I even feel like I can hazard a decent enough guess at a Christian Benteke goal. He arguably mishit one from 15 yards at 1-0. But none of...
A WORRYING trend continues. Liverpool go a goal up against average opposition, then don’t build on it. They concede an equaliser and then don’t know what to do. Players look to each other for inspiration. Leaders are searched for and not found. Games drift...
YOU go to Old Trafford. You don’t play well. They don’t play well. They win. I think I’ve seen this film before. I’ve seen games decided by set pieces. I’ve seen blunt sides overwhelmed by the occasion. I’ve seen vaguely...
BOURNEMOUTH started the game like there had never been a bigger league game for them. They were right to do so. Because there hadn’t. For 20 minutes they were all over The Reds, runners everywhere, one more man, one more ball. But it was 0-0 and they never quite...
THE MORNING AFTER. Insides blackened, sweat cascading, kidneys begging for relief. The morning after and the toll feels too great, the day felt too long. There is a burden. There is a cost. How many more of these have I got left in me? It’s only August the...
HALF time. Half time and my Lord, my hand to God, Liverpool look a mile away. As though the game has come as an enormous surprise to the lot of them. A day out at the Gower and Colin Pascoe says: “Forget this area of outstanding natural beauty lads, we kick off...
I’M going to get into the game. But three things I want to bang on about first. 1. Play The Semi Finals At Wembley……if you must. It’s a dreadful affair Wembley. The London night, fractured — the feeling everyone is having more fun. The...
TWO of your goals to nil. Two nil. 2-0. The scoreline of undoubted superiority. I’ve seen few undeserved twonils in my time supporting the Reds. It’s a submission scoreline. It’s boxing for the inevitable points win. It’s 6-4...
