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...
WHEN the Reds win we… Yeah. Listen, what do you do when you pick a strong-ish side in order to provide confidence and then that happens? Because these lads now have that against them along with 120 minutes in their legs before Saturday and the match at Anfield...
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...
EPIC. Epic because it was three and half hours long. Epic because it was a grand, gripping spectacle; a sporting battle of the highest order. Epic because every ounce of effort from every character involved was expended into emerging from the piece victorious; as the...
THE League Cup doesn’t matter? Someone forgot to tell Liverpool. When I heard the team read out on Radio City as I drove towards the ground it prompted a scowl, a nod and a clench of the fist. Not just because Liverpool were taking this seriously, but because...
OUR friend Neil Atkinson was quite scathing about the League Cup today. He essentially can’t be bothered with anything until we get the big one. I don’t think he has quite got over not winning the league to be honest. Have any of us? Have some of the...
