Simon Mignolet 8 Very unlucky with the goal, had no right to get anything on it and going backwards — was always a hard ask. His kicking was sound and made a very good, and match changing, stop with his feet that would’ve made it 2-0. Nathaniel Clyne 6...

I’M penning this note on Boxing Day 2016. George Michael is dead. Rick Parfitt is dead. And Bobby Firmino’s been busted on a DUI. To put a top hat on it all, there’s no game today. It feels like the end of days. It’s been over a fortnight since Anfield was last...

SORRY it’s late. I’ve been in the post office. You all bought loads of T-shirts and Christmas subscriptions. Which is very kind of you, but did rather get in the way of, well, just about everything else. It’s not too late to talk about Everton...

IT’S easy to have fun when the sun’s shining. There’s nothing better than having a pint in a beer garden when the sun’s beating down on you, having a laugh with your mates. I’ve got no idea if it was actually bright and sunny when Liverpool last won a trophy, but in...

ALL wins are equal, but some wins are more equal than others. The nominal value of a League victory never changes. The same amount of points were awarded to Liverpool last night as they were to, say, the Sunderland game. Three. No more, no less. You don’t get bonus...

IT simply doesn’t get any better than that. Just when you’re telling yourself that it’s a tough game, a hard place to go, a point is a decent result and eight points to Chelsea is a gap that can be bridged, Sadio Mane pops up and taps the ball into an empty net. Joel...

THEY’RE all afraid of us now, Reds. Chelsea might be top of the league, but there’s only one team in the land that they’re all scared of. One team’s name that fans around the country are dreading when flicking through their teams’ fixture lists. Talking to...

DEJAN Lovren has revealed that Jürgen Klopp instructed his side to be more direct during his team talk which helped Liverpool to a dramatic Merseyside derby win. Liverpool weren’t at their best in the first half but managed to secure all three points in injury time...

SECOND half Liverpool remembered they were Liverpool. Everton were left with the stark reality of being Everton. Redshite that sentence? Perhaps. But this is what happened. One football side expressed superiority over the other and that superiority drained and drained...

TOP fucking that. Simon Mignolet: 10 Could have been N/A. Had nothing to do against the shite. Nathaniel Clyne: 10 Provided an outlet constantly out wide. Hardly ever gets caught out of position. Fucking boss, isn’t he? Dejan Lovren: 10 Absolutely class. Bossed...
