“DRAG them down to our level and kill them.” The words of Jürgen Klopp when he was asked how he would deal with better sides, more expensively assembled sides facing his Liverpool just after he was appointed. Today Manchester United did an excellent job of...
THERE is this time between when he gives it, when James Milner picks the ball up and when the penalty is going to be taken. Notice Kasper Schmeichel protests around the penalty spot with all his studs. Notice some players surround the referee. Drag the time out. The...
CHRIST alive we were good. It goes 3-0 and then christ alive they were scary. And we seemed scared. It was a pleasure to be at tonight, you know. It was the essence of sport in a way it shouldn’t have been. It became the best of the best against one another. It...
WINNING while playing poorly. Sign of champions, they say. There is a rush to say it from them, on both counts. Any tight frustrating victory which doesn’t purr becomes poor, especially when you are a 97-point and six-from-six outfit. And there is such a long...

LIVERPOOL versus Newcastle United has in recent years been an emotional not battling fixture, if for our own nostalgic rather than footballing reasons. A returning Rafa has caused The Kop to sing for the opposition, and our civility has been extended to a group of...
OF the early ’80s Liverpool side, Graeme Souness once said something like this… If they wanted to fight, we’d out fight them. If they wanted to play, we’d out play them. Today Burnley wanted to Burnley. Liverpool out Burnleyed them. I love this...
YOU can’t live with Liverpool. You think you can. You set up and do something interesting. You give the full backs room and time. You have four lads in centre mid and the centre forwards shield Fabinho. You’ve given it some thought. You aren’t a mug....
