In February 2007 I met the woman who would go on to become my wife. Very quickly she was introduced to my obsession with football, and Liverpool Football Club in particular. Thankfully for me, she got onboard with this obsession almost from the off and has gone on to become a Liverpool supporter in her […]
There was a period of absolute perplexity on Saturday as spectators watched Craig Pawson haplessly hold his hand to his earpiece, waiting for a decision to come through from VAR. Jake Livermore appeared to tug down Mohamed Salah in the penalty area, with the referee turning to the newly trialled technology before eventually pointing to […]

Won a big game, have we? And thus Liverpool become Liverpool. While the Manchester City game was an undoubted highlight of the season, with Jurgen Klopp’s red men swamping all over the champions elect, it also marked the point where things went wrong. Firstly there was the Swansea game where Liverpool were second to every […]
Liverpool crashed out of the FA Cup to West Brom in a disappointing 3-2 defeat at Anfield. But what were the key stats from this bitterly poor performance? Home Implosion This was Liverpool’s first home defeat of the season, as the Reds’ 19 game unbeaten home run ended. Defensively, this was a shambles and it […]
Honestly, reckon the FA Cup is overrated anyway. I’m more of a Barclays Asia Trophy kinda guy. Liverpool 2-3 West Brom. They actually had the ball in the net five times, did the Baggies. The beauty of VAR and all that, Liverpool still managed to mess it up. Onto the ratings… Simon Mignolet (5): Where’s […]

Liverpool fell to their first defeat in 19 games with a woeful performance as they lost 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium. Lack of clinical finishing costs Reds dearly Some days it’s your day. Some days it isn’t. Last week I mentioned how Salah, Firmino and Mane all scored low percentage chances, but this week it […]
Typical Liverpool eh? Beat the Premier League leaders one week, lose to the league’s bottom the next. It was a disjointed Reds side up against a spirited Swansea outfit, who displayed tremendous team-spirit and character to come out with a 1-0 win that ensured Liverpool couldn’t extend their advantage over Spurs to more than two […]
With Barcelona having lost 1-0 on Wednesday night, Liverpool are now currently on the longest unbeaten run in Europe’s top five leagues. Since losing 4-1 to Spurs in October, Liverpool took stock, restructured tactically, and have not just been resurgent, but prepotent. In the 18 games following that defeat to Spurs, Liverpool have gone on […]
