Liverpool’s officials will be hoping to brush up on their French for a Champions League draw in Monaco in a few months time, should they see off Middlesbrough on Sunday in the final game of the Reds’ season. THE DETAILS Match: Liverpool vs Middlesbrough Venue: Anfield Referee: Martin Atkinson Date: Sunday 21st May Time: 14:00 BST FORM After […]
Liverpool travelled to the London stadium for the first time in a game which had a cup final feel about it, win and the Reds would be three points away from Champions League football, lose and Liverpool would be reliant on either Man City or Arsenal dropping points. Fans were understandably extremely cautious after a […]
Let’s get something absolutely clear from the off, friends – whether Liverpool beat Middlesborough and secure a Champions League play-off or not, there has been obvious, demonstrable progress under Jürgen Klopp this season. This really shouldn’t need saying, but the fickle and pugnacious nature of many of our fans makes it important to nail your colours to […]
Initially, as I grimaced in recollection of the season’s third-last serving of delicious Barclay’s goodness, it was tempting to liken Liverpool’s struggles to make any progress to the myth of Sisyphus – you know, the unfortunate chap punished by the gods of the Greeks for his offences against them. His sentence was to push a […]
Liverpool were presented with the opportunity to consolidate their stranglehold on top 4 when Southampton came to Anfield – a win would’ve taken the Reds ahead of Manchester City in 3rd, but instead Liverpool produced a dire performance which saw a blow in their hopes for Champions League football next term. Before kick off, a […]
Until very recent years, Liverpool and Southampton were two clubs who had very little to do with each other.

That all changed in the summer of 2014, when all of […]
Liverpool edged one huge step closer to qualification for the Champions League proper next term with a hard-fought 1-0 away win at Watford. Emre Can scored the solitary goal that separated the two sides – and I really cannot quite put the strike from the German into comprehensible words. In what was a first half deprived […]
This is no time for faint hearts. This is no time for shrugs and voices whining ‘What? We have to win all four of them?’ The Mancunian derby did all it could to help the Reds out so let’s not throw away that luck by going into the final sprint with chewed lips and winces. […]
After yet another home loss to Crystal Palace at the weekend, that’s the Eagles’ third win in as many visits to Anfield, and the Reds’ chances of top 4 are hanging in the balance. As a result, Liverpool’s trip to Vicarage Road on Monday night becomes all the more important. Despite winning the previous two […]
Make or break time. You get the feeling that Liverpool fans will be repeating that sentence before every game between now and the end of the season, but with the Manchester and London derbies providing Liverpool’s best chance to regain control of their own fate, the Monday night clash at Vicarage Road is one of […]
