ANOTHER crazy win? Nope, far from it. Very much far from it. Sanity abounded in Liverpool’s performance, in the setup, in the game management. Liverpool went through the gears against Huddersfield almost at will but what’s noticeable is that the opening...
SATURDAY night comes creeping. Saturday night comes weeping and sore. Something hits me more than anything else as I ambled out of Anfield tonight: Liverpool have only progressed to the fifth round of the FA Cup four times since winning it in 2006. Tonight is my...
LIVERPOOL were absolutely dreadful against Swansea City and deserved nothing from the game today. There isn’t a single Liverpool player whose performance was anywhere near good enough and indeed most of them dropped to their worst level, portraying all their bad...
THE Reds are mustard again. There was a purity to the occasion, a purity to the two performances. A reminder what this thing is. Two sets of lads mostly in their 20s being bold and brave, and playing, and playing, and playing. Two teams running themselves into the...
BY their standards, Liverpool were dreadful. Against the expectations, Everton were quite good. And yet Everton never deserved a result from the game and Liverpool never quite deserved to be punished. This is what it is to be better. It must be heartbreaking for...

WHAT winning feels like. Soul soaring. Heart pounding. Vaguely nauseous. Made of fists, made of hips, made of fuck off. Just fuck off. It should always feel like that but so often it doesn’t. A combination between great football and a great scrap. Tonight these...
NOT dissimilar to the aftermath of Bournemouth 0 Liverpool 4, what’s really important here is that 5-0 home wins don’t feel mundane. Shouldn’t feel mundane. Not now, not ever. To put it in context, in the whole of the 2006-7 season only once did...
QUITE the achievement a 3-3 draw against top six rivals where both sides come away disappointed. But Liverpool and Arsenal are second to none in delivering disappointment to their supporters in new and innovative ways. Fair play to them. A Merry Christmas to them and...
LIVERPOOL’S intensity was exceptional as they beat Bournemouth 0-4 this evening. Nil-four is a really rather rare scoreline and rightly so. To score four at any Premier League ground without reply takes a very good performance and that is exactly what Liverpool...
