A WORRYING trend continues. Liverpool go a goal up against average opposition, then don’t build on it. They concede an equaliser and then don’t know what to do. Players look to each other for inspiration. Leaders are searched for and not found. Games drift...
A EUROPA League game three days before an away Merseyside derby probably isn’t the preparation Brendan Rodgers would have chosen for such a vital league tie, but it is what it is and we are where we are. FC Sion have at least done the decent thing of looking a...
WITH his 50th appearance for Liverpool likely to come at Goodison Park this weekend, Alberto Moreno has been talking to Premier League Productions about seizing his chance in the first team and getting a run of starts that looked extremely unlikely a month ago. In his...
THE Reds. The Tricky Reds. You arrive wondering where a goal will come from and they score in a minute. You then think they’ll settle down and play and they refuse. At 2-0 and 3-1 up we should have been able to relax, but our defence had other ideas. Well you...
LIVERPOOL go through with a wimper and some sore legs for a big game on Saturday. I really don’t know how to score most of them. How do you score lads who don’t seem to know what they are being asked to do? Who are largely passing to their team-mates, but...
GIVEN Liverpool skipped the League Cup second round due to playing in Europe this season, and the fact you’d expect many of the minnows to be out by now, a home tie against Carlisle United — positioned 10th in League Two — is in theory about as good...
BRENDAN RODGERS received some unlikely backing from commentator John Motson. Motty, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live, revealed that he thinks there is a ‘conspiracy’ against the Liverpool manager and that some in the media have an ‘agenda’ against...
A FRUSTRATING afternoon. It was good to see us at least creating chances, but still not enough of them and certainly not enough going in the net. Norwich are fortunate to leave with a point, but they could have won all three. Which, if you consider they showed little...
I REMEMBER the glory days of crowd-funding. Bands allowing you to pay for an album before it is made so they can record it. Young film-makers who can’t get the interest of production companies trying to make their first movie. Giving the public the chance to...
A REAL strange game. Where we create more but still look toothless. Where we are part unlucky but mostly clueless. Where things could have been much different, but you still wonder what the plan is. At both ends. Tough month for the manager ahead. Simon Mignolet 5...
