IT’S been an age since Liverpool played some football, in what was a taut match against Manchester City that seemed to last forever. Time is passing and we have the third waypoint of the league season already in site. By the time we pause again for the next...
I DON’T take defeat well. I don’t take not winning well. Three games of only this makes me blue. Like a Blue. They’re calling Liverpool v Manchester City a “title decider in October”. Actually, I might be the first to have dubbed it this, but what the heck. The...
THE celebrations in those closing minutes at Stamford Bridge on Saturday tea time, were full blooded, defiant and maybe will come to be seen as disproportionate. We are apt to do this. I was part of an away end at Villa Park in Brendan Rogers last season that properly...
IT’S something of a shame that we had to dilute the anticipation of this titanic contest by prefacing it with that midweek rumble in the League Cup. Wednesday night’s was a decent game, even if we were ultimately left utterly frustrated by it. It would have been nice...
THIS is the type of game I look forward to most. Following a team involves so much tense anticipation and trepidation. Who really relishes the prospect of a derby or watching us go to Old Trafford? Yes, there’s excitement at just how important a result could be...
IT’S all getting a bit too much. I feel like Bobby Firmino. It would almost be relief to sit this one out. Happy to be half blind. Liverpool’s intensity in these early league games has been something to behold. Sure, they haven’t yet been truly electric, but...
THERE are no cup finals in September. No title was ever decided on game five. So why does this feel like a game of monumental importance? History may well cast this encounter into the ether, but in the here and now it’s hard to fathom a more pivotal moment. Of course,...
UPON reflection, I think we can treat Brighton as a bit of a wake up call. The best kind. The kind where you are reminded that there’s work still to be done, but learn the harsh lesson while still winning. Hopefully that, in itself, is a mark of progress. Time may...
IF you’re not beside yourself with excitement at the prospect of watching The Reds at home to Brighton and Hove Albion then you’re in the wrong business. This Liverpool side are building dreams and momentum. All that stands in our way is the bearing of the...
IT’S funny being the buzz. Being the noise. Outside of our bubble we’ve always been regarded as a big team, obviously, but ultimately always supporting cast actors rather than the lead. Now feels different. Now feels like it may just be our time. Let’s tempt fate and...
