THE first game is all about winning. And we did. Winning. Keep winning. Win forever. When the Reds win…. Simon Mignolet 7 Clean sheet. More of them, mate. Not letting goals in is the mission statement. Could have released it quicker but hard to tell if it was...
FRIENDLY matches. Apparently it used to be a game against the bin men from whatever Eurpoean resort Shankly had taken the players to. Now it’s big business — Far East tours, a schedule eating up 21,743 miles and every match televised. Because of the latter...
SO it seems Liverpool Football Club have a new assistant manager — and it wasn’t who anyone was expecting. Rumours, and a fair degree of hope, were suggesting a LFC legend would soon be gracing the dugout, or at least that a renowned assistant coach in football...
IT’S funny how sometimes you can be thinking about someone and they pop up in different places. Like when someone recommends a band to you, and suddenly you see their name wherever you look. I’ve been thinking about Kevin Keegan a lot recently, and then he was...

BOTH Gareth Roberts and Melissa Reddy wrote last week about the over the top — and increasingly personal — comments that come from Liverpool fans after every occasion Brendan Rodgers dares to talk about football. For some it feels like the press...
THESE things have a habit of happening don’t they? To us at least. Last day of the Kop all over again. Unable to create enough chances or cope with their pace. But anyway. Some numbers with words. Simon Mignolet 7 Not sure what happens with their first one. Was...
STEVE Hothersall recently interviewed Damien Comolli about his time at Liverpool for City Talk 105.9 and it got me thinking about Anfield’s former director of football strategy and later director of football. I thought about him while watching Luis Suarez for...
PROMISING enough stuff from the Reds, albeit it in a type of game that is hard to take too much from. Plenty of lads showed they belonged at that level. A few didn’t. But we knew that already. Anyway. Numbers and words. Simon Mignolet 7 Has the mad punch,...
