HORRIBLY, painfully predictable, absolutely fucking shambolic. Again. If this is the reality then what’s the point? Simon Mignolet: 3 Two decent stops at 0-0, the fact he had to make two stops against the absolute shite show that are Leicester shows how fucking...

CLAUDIO Ranieri was sacked last night (at the time of writing). It is too obvious to state that this represents a disappointing state of affairs. That the figure head for as great an achievement as there has been in British sport should find that his team no longer...

JÜRGEN Klopp has a massive decision to make ahead of tomorrow’s game against Leicester City, a really difficult one for any manager. The Foxes, so far, look like they are setting up exactly the same way they did last season — a 4-4-2 formation, which when they...

ANFIELD is bigger now. Lopsided, but in a good way. Like a protective friendly giant with its arms round The Kop and the Anny Road. Like a minecraft mollusc, spiralling geometrically towards the heavens. Did you like that? I’m very pleased with it. I’d do a smug...
