West Ham United v Liverpool: The Big Match Preview
I’M approaching The Hammers away in a state of discombobulation. I’m all over the show, suffering with low level (but manageable) flu and a series of frustrations. We all love following The Reds but doing so involves making quite large spaces in our life for them....
Why We Should Be Optimistic About What’s To Come From Minamino
SEEING Liverpool’s rivals thrashing about in the transfer market in the final week of the January window, trying to sign anything that moves, must be heartening for Michael Edwards to see. The Reds’ sporting director had done all his work for the month before it had...
How Adrian Shows That Building Is More Crucial Than Buying At Liverpool
TRANSFERS are one of the most interesting facets of the modern game. There’s so much that goes into it that we don’t get to see, but what we do know from the outside looking in is that spending big doesn’t guarantee quality - and vice versa. Bargains are rare to find...
Shrewsbury Town 2 Liverpool 2: The Match Ratings
I’M on the ratings this week as Ben Johnson is on his anniversary stag doo. Let’s dissect that for a minute. He enjoyed his stag doo so much he does it every year. It’s a magnificent blag, that. Best blag since Hodgson convinced the world he was a good manager. What a...

Shrewsbury Town v Liverpool: The FA Cup Preview
“I HAVE no clue yet. I’m about to go and find out.” Jürgen Klopp there, when asked what kind of challenge he expects from Shrewsbury in his Friday press conference. It was an honest response that elicited no further enquiry from the press pack but it jolted me. I know...
Why Liverpool Shouldn’t Shun The Possibility Of An FA Cup Run
THE league, the league, the league… All we talk about is the league. Of course it’s all we talk about. It’s been so long. We’ve come so close. And sometimes it felt like it was never going to come home again. Now it is. Surely it is. You know the numbers, you know...
Wolves 1 Liverpool 2: The Match Review
WE were spent. I was spent. They were spent. And then it goes off when Firmino, a million miles away, drops his shoulder and fires it home. Roberto Firmino who hasn't scored at Anfield this season, who doesn't believe in small goals, who only scores when there is blue...
