WATCHING this Liverpool side step it up should take your breath away and we should have been left breathless at the start of the second half. Should. I’m worried a little bit. Worried we are taking for granted how good this side is, treating emphatic wins and...
LIVERPOOL have been on their holidays. Jürgen Klopp’s recipe for reducing fatigue and stress on over-worked limbs is to win first legs of Champions League ties 5-0. It’s a natty trick. Liverpool Football Club may have a home fixture against Porto to come on March 6,...
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...
