THINGS that are blows: – The lack of chances created. – The equaliser. – The last minute missed opportunity. Things that aren’t blows: – The league table. The league table still shows Liverpool top of the pile with a healthy cushion at...
Alisson: 6 Made a good save first 15 when our midfield was getting legged for a bit. Is he shite for the goal? I think he might be shite for the goal there, which is a shame. Fuck all else to do. Milner: 6 Thought he was pretty shite first half. And didn’t manage much...
I WAS chatting to my nine-year-old lad about the first time I saw Liverpool win the league. It was 1979. I think I could still tell you the result of each and every single game, and probably most of the goalscorers in those matches. I’d even claim I could recall the...
DISAPPOINTMENT, frustration, but let’s not pretend we are too surprised. Liverpool have produced that kind of passable performance on a number of occasions this season but found a way to win. Last night they didn’t. End of. It’s not too long ago that they might have...
LIVERPOOL v Manchester City — the prevailing battle. Liverpool v Leicester City — the evening’s affair. Mathematics v Feelings — the inner struggle. Had both Liverpool and Manchester City won you’d be bouncing, but we’d be as you...
ANY matchday where we increase our lead is sound by me. That said, someone hold this bevy while I twat me self over the head with this shovel. Alisson: 7 Give it away a bit first half, but so what? He’s so good at sweeping up lad, his starting position is amazing. If...
AMONG the favourite go-tos for the football “banter” tribe is the idea of a club’s fanbase – often running into many millions worldwide – being “deluded”. It’s a barb often aimed at Liverpool supporters. You’ve heard it, you’ve seen it, you know it....
I WOULD like to be looking back on these previews in the summer and laughing at my own childish anxiety and fecklessness in the face of a Liverpool title challenge. I want to be basking in the summer sun and the glow of Liverpool having been crowned champions. I’d...
RIO Ferdinand is a strange one, isn’t he? After repeatedly having his arse handed to him on a plate for ill-advised, and frankly wrong-headed, comments about Newcastle United last week, you would think he might want to keep his head down for a little bit. As I wrote...
YOU know you are alive. My lord, you know you are alive. Isn’t that the point? It is, but you felt that maybe a bit too much. It shouldn’t have been this way. Eight minutes in, James Milner goes on a charging run from back to front, and you think Liverpool...
