IN 2018 so far Liverpool have broken the world record for signing a defender, Ragnar Klavan has scored a goal, The Reds won a Merseyside derby with a late winner from said record signing, the FA have opened an investigation into an incident from that game, and the...
HAPPY New Year, everyone! And isn’t it just the happiest of New Years when you go to play Burnley just 48 hours after a hard-fought win against Leicester, make seven changes, including missing probably your two best players, don’t play all that well and yet still come...
ON the second day of Christmas my true love sent to me, a 5-0 against Swansea. At half time it felt like yet another one of those when The Reds would inevitably pay for their profligacy, but quite the opposite. They ran out in the second half and proceeded to...
TWO weeks ago in this very column, I wrote about how Liverpool seemed to have mastered the art of beating the so-called “lesser” sides. Then they went and drew with Everton and West Brom. Last week in my match ratings for the Merseyside derby I spoke about...
SUNDAY was a disappointment. Everton came to Anfield to try and nick a draw and they somehow managed it. It was more down to Liverpool’s profligacy than the visitors’ tactics, despite what Mr Allardicci claims, but it’s done now and all The Reds can do is look forward...
TWO points dropped against the worst Premier League team to visit Anfield this season. Frustration for Jürgen Klopp and Liverpool on an afternoon where they battered Everton from pillar to post, but just forgot to win. On a weekend when rivals have dropped points, The...
COME on, admit it. We all panicked just a little bit. Liverpool 3-0 up and coasting by the coast, only to be pegged back to 3-1 in the 51st minute. Flashbacks of Wissam Ben Yedder and co ruining The Reds’ Champions League celebrations in Seville will have been...
AS sliding doors moments go, this week has been a pretty unfortunate one for Jürgen Klopp and his Liverpool team. If they clear the corner against Sevilla and win 3-2, elation and praise follows. If Willian doesn’t mishit his attempted cross and The Reds win 1-0...
THEY say that home is where the heart is. That certainly rings true at Anfield where down the years Liverpool have seduced fans, made hearts race with anxiety, and on occasion even broken them. It would be churlish to suggest that The Reds have a shot at the Premier...
STUCK for something to do on a cold Sunday night, I decided to see what this “Blue Planet” thing on the BBC iPlayer was all about. To be honest, when I first saw the title of the show I assumed it was some Evertonian fantasy where all the...
