LIVERPOOL buried a ghost this afternoon on the south coast. A big Toxic Thunder-splashed ghost of Christmas past was well and truly consigned along with the memory of Ryan Fraser embodying a combination of Lionel Messi and David Fairclough at the mere sight of a...

THESE took four points off us last year. You know what grates the most? Their manager’s trackie bottoms. Quite clingy, weren’t they? Remember being fuming about them. Anyway. Simon Mignolet: 7 Did well to stop a corner at the start of the second half. That was about...

IF I live to be 95 years old (gotta have ambition) then I’ve got about 2,300 weeks left. Never thought I’d hear myself say this but, I hope none of them are as long as this past one has been. A week ago The Reds were the six wins in eight games Reds. We were the...

LIVERPOOL were fucking crap tonight. Immediately after typing that the realisation hits that this is exactly the sort of writing which means that yours truly isn’t about to be offered Barney Ronay’s column at The Guardian. We could find a wry way around...

Pre Match THERE’S you there, just lashed your phone on the deck ’cause Jürgs is playing all the boys. I think it is safe to say that he thinks we are all bellends, and in fairness he is bang on the money. That said, I can’t wait until we get beat here and...

I’M keeping myself ticking over between games. Just doing as little as I can in real life so that I’m sharp and fresh for these tests that are coming every three days. Jürgen Klopp’s not rotating me. I’m there for him, each and every time. The derby took it out of me,...

WOULDN’T it be great if The Reds just went and won all their games of football? Wouldn’t it make all of this so much easier, make all of us so much happier? It goes without saying that doing this is a lot easier said, by meffs like me, than done (unless your team is...

Klopp has added another five to his tally today. https://t.co/7D5KCpNJcd — Andrew Beasley (@BassTunedToRed) 10 December 2017 LIVERPOOL did not lose that game of football, but like the Chelsea game it feels like it. Like the Chelsea game there were surprises in the...

A WIN always helps. And Liverpool didn’t get one. A win always helps because it helps you shrug off what doesn’t go well; what you disagree with, who didn’t have their best game, what wasn’t right. It’s another edgy team selection from...
