YOU go to Old Trafford. You don’t play well. They don’t play well. They win. I think I’ve seen this film before. I’ve seen games decided by set pieces. I’ve seen blunt sides overwhelmed by the occasion. I’ve seen vaguely...
THERE we go then on the Newstalk website. Philippe Coutinho. Too lightweight and like a schoolboy. It’s immediately tiring, but it does need to be said that the diminutive Brazilian isn’t above criticism and that he was both poor and a dope — a big,...
SOMETIMES you write because you think something and you want to put it over to other people. Sometimes you write because you are trying to work something out and you just don’t know. Below is most definitely the latter. It’s about transfers, net spend and...
FINAL whistle goes and I’m furious. Furious with Liverpool, furious with them for losing when there’s a big Saturday night planned, for placing that in jeopardy. I’m furious with them because Basement Jaxx are playing in Sefton Park and they...

BOURNEMOUTH started the game like there had never been a bigger league game for them. They were right to do so. Because there hadn’t. For 20 minutes they were all over The Reds, runners everywhere, one more man, one more ball. But it was 0-0 and they never quite...
LUCAS has been a Liverpool player who has always had more meaning attached to him than many that he has shared the pitch with. He’s a footballer with signifiers. You can probably tell the story of this football club through him over the last 10 years far better...
THE MORNING AFTER. Insides blackened, sweat cascading, kidneys begging for relief. The morning after and the toll feels too great, the day felt too long. There is a burden. There is a cost. How many more of these have I got left in me? It’s only August the...
SO CHRISTIAN Benteke is officially a Liverpool player. The Reds have bought goals this summer. No two ways about it. Whether or not we agree with the goals that have been bought, whether or not we feel it could or should have been different, it’s crystal clear...
