THE Daniel Sturridge v Fernando Torres cold stats are in Sturridge’s favour; slightly better total goals to total appearances ratio, significantly better total goals to starts ratio. But I don’t want stats. I want to slay some dragons and move on. Torres...
IT wasn’t particularly surprising. Boring is what Liverpool do in European aways. Always have done, and in a two-legged affair it usually works. It’s also evident what they do these days following massive wins. They bring you to a point where you say: “These...
ON Wednesday 17th February, John Gibbons is joined by Neil Atkinson and a 1987 issue of Shoot Magazine. They have more up to date information than contained in that though, including some interesting statistics on goals per minutes for Liverpool strikers. John...
MOMENTS that change things. I was working in a record shop. Late eighties. Mentioned this before. Lots of times. 1988 going into 89. That summer of 89 when all we did was tell anybody that looked like they’d ever seen a guitar that what they really needed in...

GIBBO and Robbo are on hand for your daily round-up, and they’ve got a press conference to get stuck into. Seems like Jurgen Klopp is going to pick a young side again, but is that right? Does it feel like a few positions could do with some experience? The lads...
“NOW I know what everybody is talking about.” You can interpret Jürgen Klopp’s quip post six goals at Southampton in two ways. The first is the realisation that statistically the finest goals-to-game finisher in Liverpool Football Club’s history of competing in the...
GARETH ROBERTS was joined by Stephen Evans, Rob Gutmann and Adam Smith for this week’s BackPage with a jam-packed agenda. The lads start off with a chat about Alex Ferguson’s reported comments about Jürgen Klopp, in which he waxed lyrical about the new...
THIS is Daniel Sturridge’s 10th season as a first-team footballer at a Premier League club. He has started just 94 league games in that time. But there are circumstances and dynamics that contribute towards a dubious statistic that makes Fabio Aurelio or Daniel Agger...
