AND the rain will come down. We’re going to Leicester. We will drive into the wet and windy night for the Reds. It is all about Leicester. And we won’t get home ’til tomorrow. And we are doing it all for Leicester. Not for City. For what the Reds must do. The...

IT was only Norwich, writes SIMON ALKIN. They’ve got basically the worst defence in league — worse than ours, worse than Aston Villa’s. But Saturday afternoon’s chaotic, exhilarating victory felt significant. Maybe not Steven...

IF ever a game acted as a reminder of why we watch and obsess over a team that provides us with arguably as many lows as it does highs, then the incredulous 5-4 victory over Norwich City was that. There was no rhyme or reason to this game of football. It was so mad it...

HOW do you analyse what happened at Carrow Road on Saturday afternoon? What do you focus on there? That game of football was quite possibly the maddest thing ever seen. The Reds were atrocious in the first half. Atrocious. Disgraceful. People have been sacked for...

MANCHESTER. A town centre so big that whenever you go out there you get a cob on because you forgot to pack Kendal mint cake and a compass just to get from pub to pub. What’s with all the chop houses, Manchester? What the bleeding hell is a chop house anyway?...

THIS Liverpool side has to work harder than any I can remember to score a goal. The stint it has to put in just to see the ball go over the line is ridiculous. When did we get the last cheap one? Firmino scored a belter against Arsenal. It’s either unbelievable...

OVER the years a few tidy teams have turned up to Anfield. You think “how are these 10th, they look really good”. Then they don’t score, and someone like Fernando Torres knocks a couple in and we all go home. Liverpool have become that team. Often...

THIS Liverpool team still feels like a bit of a stranger. Our sides usually reveal themselves in a few familiar guises. Time tested shapes. The balance between good, bad and average, just so. A compelling midfielder here, a top goalscorer there. A rock at the back, a...

FOR the most part, this felt like a throwback. A sublime South American acting as the catalyst for his side’s offensive domination. Bending the ball to his will. Straining every sinew in his body to track back and turn his team around. Always there, pressing. Always...

FOOTBALL is always just about to prove you wrong. This is the most important thing it can do. Picture the scene: Rob Gutmann: I’d do Allen for Can here. Neil Atkinson: Nah. Rob Gutmann: This is a bit of a role reversal. Neil Atkinson: I just think Emre Can is...
