Liverpool 3 Manchester United 1: The Match Review
IT was almost mundane. It was simultaneously magic. Manchester United tragic. The form book didn't go out of the window. It rarely does. Since Rafa Benitez arrived at Anfield, broadly speaking, Liverpool have got the results they should, given the seasons they are on...
Liverpool 3 Manchester United 1: The Match Ratings
HAHAHA. They are worse than us under Hodgson. Alisson: 7 Oh for fuck's sake. Had hard lines for the goal there, catches it and hits his own legs and bobbles out. That said if that was Miggy I’d currently probably still be strangling him. In the changies, as Jürgen is...
Liverpool v Manchester United: The Big Match Preview
YOU know what I love about Anfield? Every time I go there I feel like a child. I was a kid when I first went there. I’m far from one now, but in that place, I will be forever. As Liverpool summoned the gods and overwhelmed Napoli on a chilled Tuesday December night, I...

Alisson Becker’s Ability To Win Liverpool Points Justifies His Price Tag
LAST night Alisson Becker had a big moment in a big week. Liverpool deserved the victory but they wouldn't have got it had Alisson not spread himself wide and strong to deny Arkadiusz Milik from point-blank range in stoppage time. We'd be looking at the Europa League...
Liverpool 1 Napoli 0: The Match Review
I WHISPER things, the city sings them back to you. Evening gorgeous. Evening handsome. I thought of you throughout. What a win. What progression. Four things: That is greatest save I have seen in me whole life. The game was mad. Mo Salah wants to be the best player in...
Liverpool 1 Napoli 0: The Match Ratings
Alisson: 9 What can you say about this fucker? I’m fairly sure he is the best keeper I have seen play for Liverpool. Seriously. Pepe Reina was good and that -- first few seasons, till his hands disappeared like a Back To The Future photo -- but this fella is unreal....
