CHELSEA played. And won. Merry Christmas. Manchester City played. And won. Merry Christmas. Arsenal played. And won. Merry Christmas. For those of you still mildly concerned Manchester United played and won. Merry Christmas. (Quietly United are genuinely playing very...

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...

A STRANGE day. A lot of lads turned up in “I’ve been to Dortmund” caps and a lot of lads turned up with “I’ve been the National” hangovers. A few lads didn’t turn up at all. Those still feeling the effects of Germany and...

LIVERPOOL’S most comfortable league home performance of the season did everything Rob Gutmann told you it would. It announced one young talent, reaffirmed another and allowed the manager to experiment. Liverpool played as many shapes as they scored goals and...

STOKE at home. Nothing to play for. Only Stoke at home. Nothing to play for. Might as well not go. When I was 12, I went to my first match at Anfield. It was a League Cup game on a midweek night against Portsmouth. They were then, as now, mired somewhere in football’s...

LIVERPOOL were dreadful. Liverpool were abject. Liverpool are in the final. Could stop it there but Robbo likes there to be more words. Unfortunately there aren’t a ton of them. Joe Allen’s yellow card deserves a mention. What a yellow card it was. One for...
