WE’RE nearly there. Can you feel it? The weather getting colder, the clocks have gone back. Not Christmas, but madness. Fixture madness. It comes ever closer. Within 37 days ending on January 1st, every Premier League team is playing 10 league games....

IT’S been a joyless week. Calamitous defeats don’t aid restful sleep. Saturday can’t come too soon and yet simultaneously may just make things worse. I’ve been arguing on social media, but mainly in my head, with good friends about the manager. I like the manager and...

AFTER the frustrating failure of Liverpool’s efforts to secure Virgil van Dijk’s signature in the summer, Jürgen Klopp’s public stance ever since has been to back the defenders at his disposal. Many supporters, people in the media and pundits alike, doubted his words...

FOR all Liverpudlians it has already been an exhausting season. The football has been mostly breathless but we’re actually tired of working this team out and it’s still only October. Rampant, attacking football but a glut of missed chances placed incongruously...

CONFIDENCE is a funny thing, isn’t it? We’ve just turned a Slovenian team over by seven goals and now everything seems possible again. Even the bony-arsed cynics can start to use their imaginations again a bit now. Anybody saying The Reds can’t go to Wembley and knock...
