Why Van Dijk Devastation Could Be The Making Of This Side
AT 2.25pm on Saturday, a wave of nausea hit me. At first it was a matter of personal pride. Since the introduction of VAR, I’ve subconsciously altered the way I celebrate goals. Anybody who sits near me in the ground would probably be able to tell you the same, so...
Everton 2 Liverpool 2: Match Review
TAKE a breath. Be angry with exterior forces later. Do that in a minute or two. But take a breath first, because your take away should be this... Everton may prove to be the third, fourth or ninth best team in England this season. They are a tidy outfit. But Liverpool...
Everton 2 Liverpool 2: Match Ratings

Everton v Liverpool: The Big Match Preview

Klopp’s Wounded Warriors Can Show They’re Mentality Monsters Again
FEW would dispute the importance of psychology and mentality within football, but it is one of the hardest to analyse. It is complicated by the fact there is no quantifiable output, no list of characteristics or designated number that distinguishes between good...
Project Big Picture Rejected – But What Was The Problem?
I’VE just finished reading George Orwell’s Keep the Aspidistra Flying. Set in the 1930s, it concerns a poet called Gordon Comstock who declares war on the ‘money god’ which dominates the world. He refuses a well-paid job writing ludicrous advertising copy and instead...
