Liverpool 1 Everton 1: Match Review

A WIN always helps. And Liverpool didn’t get one. A win always helps because it helps you shrug off what doesn’t go well; what you disagree with, who didn’t have their best game, what wasn’t right. It’s another edgy team selection from...

Brighton 1 Liverpool 5: Match Review

WHAT a win that is under the circumstances. It’s a manager backing himself, his staff and his team, and them standing up for themselves and for him. They had to be switched on, aggressive and good. They nailed all the above. Imagine getting the teamsheet in the...

Liverpool 3 Maribor 0: Match Review

NIL-nil half time. Three-nil full time. The first half is turgid. Are you surprised? Were you angry? Don’t be angry. You are better than that. Regardless, if you are a half-decent football team and you got carved apart time and again — it’s worth...
