EIGHT league games before the end of the year. Twenty four points. The definitive halfway point. We sit here in early November, 11 games in on 17 points, which isn’t a number that would get the juices flowing under normal circumstances. Well, friends, this isn’t...
ONE to us and nil to them. Not one to them. One to us and nil to them. Astonishing scenes, these. The youngish Reds doing the business. The youngish Reds hugely buttressed by Lucas Leiva second half and constantly lit up by Roberto Firmino. Firmino had a ton of...
A WIN! Not the best, or prettiest, but we’ll take it. We weren’t great in the middle of the park, but in the final third we looked more alive than we have for a while, and could actually have scored more than one goal. But that utopia will wait for another...
I’LL be honest, I don’t know where I’m going with this. I haven’t got it plotted out. I’m not entirely sure what my point is or if I actually *have* a point. I’m just writing because I bloody have to, because I NEED to talk about...
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...
A NEW week and another competition for The Reds. But how seriously should they take it? Is the League Cup a nuisance that should be avoided, or can it be used as a springboard for greater things? Should Brendan try to play first team players into form and...
BOB Paisley led Liverpool out at Wembley for the last time as the Reds took on Manchester United in the Milk Cup final 32 years ago today. 17-year-old Norman Whiteside gave Ron Atkinson’s United a 12th-minute lead in front of a crowd of 99,000, controlling a...
