Manchester United v Liverpool: The Big Match Preview
THIS is the end game. Not literally the end game but the beginning of the end game. We could really do with starting the beginning of the end game by winning. It’s fun to bill games as metaphorical cup finals. Often it’s just a dramatic device. On extremely rare...
Liverpool Can Show How Far They’ve Come Against Manchester United
THEY call Anfield, “Juanfield”, you know. In reference to Juan Mata’s brace in a 2-1 Manchester United victory at Anfield back in March 2015. I’m completely fine with it, as I generally always have been with the Man United rivalry if I’m being honest. As a millennial,...
Fabinho: Liverpool’s Brazilian Beacon Of Calm Among The Klopp Chaos
EVEN the sight of one of Liverpool's most famous flags wasn't quite enough to inspire Liverpool to victory last night. Joey might have eaten the frogs legs and made the Swiss roll, but it turns out Bayern might take a bit more Munchen than Gladbach did in '77. But...
Jordan Henderson: Not Liverpool’s Luxury Man, But No Less Influential
IT’S funny how people see games so differently. As the teams left the pitch on Tuesday, the BT Sport commentator exclaimed “advantage Bayern Munich!” Like it was practically a fait accompli. That was strange. I felt the opposite. The German’s played well at Anfield —...
Liverpool 0 Bayern Munich 0: The Match Review
HOW do you deal with pressure? How do you take the expectation and make something of it? Liverpool didn’t have all the answers tonight, but at what is ostensibly half time in this Champions League fixture, the question is very much set. Pressure is what Bayern Munich...
Liverpool 0 Bayern Munich 0: The Match Ratings
Alisson: 7 Saved one in that Big Joel twatted it at his iron chest from a yard and it bounced out rather than in. Done a fair bit of fannying about with it at his feet, but in fairness I’m into that. Trent: 7 Plays these games like he knows The Reds are mustard, and...
How Xherdan Shaqiri’s Time At Bayern Munich Has Helped Liverpool
FOUR years is a very long time in football. Four years ago, Jürgen Klopp was the manager of Borussia Dortmund. Four years ago, a 23-year-old Xherdan Shaqiri was on the fringes of the Bayern Munich squad. As Bayern visit Anfield for the first time since 1981, they will...
Why Bayern Could Be The Start Of Liverpool’s End Of Season Surge
ARE you ready for the next two weeks? Between now and March 3, Liverpool play Bayern Munich, Manchester United, Watford and Everton. It is unlikely to be a gentle period, but how boring would football be if it was? After putting up with the football wasteland that was...
Liverpool v Bayern Munich: The Champions League Preview
IS this the least important really important game we’ve played all season? Bear with me. We’re all in for this league title. The Reds may not win it but the attitude has to remain that they’ll die trying. Of course we want to win the league and the Champions League,...
