THE first four of Liverpool’s goals are finished from inside the six-yard box. There’s an avalanche of caveats that can be applied to a result such as this one but the most pleasing aspect, the one which rises above all of those caveats, is the fact that...
THE Reds are abject again. The Reds are abject again and it hurts. I’m very, very fond of this Liverpool team and this manager. I feel they can do a lot this season. But they can’t do that again. They can’t be that blunt. They can’t keep...
LIKE everyone, I expected to see Liverpool sign a left-back this summer. I expected it from the point when Alberto Moreno was substituted in the Capital One Cup Final against Manchester City. That day James Milner sat in at full-back. The mistake in the Europa League...
WE’RE back then. Oh good lord we are back. The sweat is pouring off me. My heart is pounding. My legs are shaking. I have hugged a million strangers. We’ve just won but I might not make it through 37 more. I can’t wait for 37 more. I couldn’t...

I HAVE spent a lot of time recently thinking about Roald Dahl and his sheer unapologetic brilliance. There’s an attitude to what Dahl wrote. It is something about being determined to be awkward and ungainly. That being those things is simultaneously something to...
THE manager on Danny Ings: “Maybe it’s not enough time for him, but next season, we’ll have a lot of fun with him for sure.” We’ll have a lot of fun with him for sure. Shall we really over-analyse? Let’s do it. It has been repeatedly...
