A deserved win eventually, admittedly against a poor side. Should keep the planes away for a few more games anyway. Numbers and words. Simon Mignolet: 6 Can he do more with the goal? Probably sees it late. Shouting more, which is good Glen Johnson: 5 He’s...
WE lost didn’t we. I’m not sure how else to start but that. Sean Rogers spoke very eloquently in the week about getting buy in from players. About having a plan they could all believe in. He said a manager risks putting it all on his own head if you change...
WHAT a strange game of football that was. Far too end of season far too in the season. Let’s put it down to semi-final distractions… Anyway, some scores and then some words that may or may not reflect them. SIMON MIGNOLET: 9 Meeting me and Andy in the week had the...
ON the way to Blackburn, while sat in traffic (EVERYONE was sat in traffic), I checked the odds on the game. I like checking odds — much more than I like actual betting — as I think it gives an interesting indication of where heads are at. Who is fancied...

THAT was a really strange game to score players. It seemed there was as much wrong collectively as individually. But I’m here to have a go. So go easy… SIMON MIGNOLET 5 The big Belgian in our goal makes good saves from Cazorla and Ramsey early on and a...
ROBBO has been on, cracking the whip. This time he wanted us to get our stubs out for the lads. The problem is, I have never thought of myself as a big collector and I didn’t know if I had much of note. But, because I’m a team player, and I’m a a bit...
listen to ‘Raheem Sterling: TAW discuss his treatment by fans at Anfield against Manchester United’ on audioBoom IT’S felt like a season like no other for contract talks dominating back pages. No sooner was the Gerrard saga ‘resolved’ than attentions...
THAT first half wasn’t fun. Watching Liverpool outclassed on our own pitch for the first time since Real Madrid. The team from Manchester better at everything. Watching Steven Gerrard getting sent off wasn’t fun. Seeing one of our own essentially cost us the game. It...
WELL it’s three points isn’t it? Wasn’t pretty, but a win is a win at this stage of the season. Up the Reds. SIMON MIGNOLET 7 Saved all the balls that were kicked at him. You’ll get some lads moaning about his kicking but, call me old...
