JAMIE Carragher made a point about patience during yesterday’s game. Around the hour mark, when The Reds were taking wild shots from all over the pitch, Carragher rightly pointed out that there was no need to panic and that, if the players kept their heads and stayed...
IT was almost mundane. It was simultaneously magic. Manchester United tragic. The form book didn’t go out of the window. It rarely does. Since Rafa Benitez arrived at Anfield, broadly speaking, Liverpool have got the results they should, given the seasons they...
HAHAHA. They are worse than us under Hodgson. Alisson: 7 Oh for fuck’s sake. Had hard lines for the goal there, catches it and hits his own legs and bobbles out. That said if that was Miggy I’d currently probably still be strangling him. In the changies, as...
YOU know what I love about Anfield? Every time I go there I feel like a child. I was a kid when I first went there. I’m far from one now, but in that place, I will be forever. As Liverpool summoned the gods and overwhelmed Napoli on a chilled Tuesday December night, I...
NO Ben Johnson this week, so I’ve been given the honour of filling some big shoes. Didn’t expect to do much undies on your head chat, a la Ben, but also I didn’t expect Mohamed Salah to truly take the piss. What a performance from The Reds, and kudos to the manager in...
IT was a routine win for Liverpool on the south coast, but not as you know it. Pundits and “experts” may look back on the game as one where Liverpool cruised to an easy victory, without acknowledging the near perfection this Liverpool team are achieving....
MY first league match missed this season will be Liverpool’s 15th. I’ve set out to do the full 38-game complement on about 10 occasions, but always come up short by a fixture or two. I’m like a metaphor for past Liverpool sides. We’re all nearly people, ultimately....
VITALITY and purpose. Nothing other than the title is our business. Our business is nothing other than the title. There is a purity to that. Tonight told you that story and told you how much it matters to this club, this manager and his players, and what everyone is...
ARE we still doing this footy watching thing? I mean, seriously? I thought we all decided that it couldn’t get any better than Sunday, for as long as we live, even if we find the pool off Cocoon and double bubble it with the magic mouse off The Green Mile and live...
WE have a drill for Burnley away. It’s often felt like a rush to be getting there. It’s close, but there’s never quite enough time to fulfil all ambitions and expectations. This Wednesday will be a challenge. We’ve got to scoop my youngest, Rafael (Benitez) Gutmann...
