In these unprecedented times of lockdown, sanitizer, empty stadiums and the Netflix / Amazon Prime binge, I’ve found myself often searching for new ways to occupy both my mind as well as my body. With the remarkable closure to a triumphant league campaign by the reds, the common football fan was greeted by the...
There was a time when everything Man United did was superior to Liverpool: Â winning more trophies, having a better manager and signing world-class players. Thankfully, those days are gone.
United's latest humiliation at the hands of Tottenham was great to see - until the Reds lost 7-2 a few hours later, at least - and...
Let's face it, with the exceptions of Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah, no one came out of Liverpool's 7-2 mauling by Aston Villa with their reputations enhanced.
Most of the social media scorn, however, has been directed at Adrian.
The accident-prone Spanish goalkeeper played an unfortunate role in the first of Villa's avalanche of goals.

It’s pointless to turn one player into the scapegoat for the 7-2 loss to Aston Villa. The majority of the team had arguably their worst game in a red shirt and it’s a game you just have to take on the chin, safe in the knowledge Jurgen Klopp’s teams always react.Â

The Brazilian has been a sensational performer for Liverpool over the past five years, overcoming Brendan Rodgers' bizarre use of...
Naby Keita has been a starter in all the Premier League games, added to his appearances at the tail end of last season -- the biggest run of consecutive starts in the Guinean's spell at the club with five league starts on the bounce.
The injuries which scuppered the 25-year-olds attempts to build consistency at...
There was no better encapsulation of my feelings towards last night's performance than the Anfield Wrap's half-time Instagram post - 'Fuck off Liverpool'.
At that point, there were still three more Villa goals to come, delivering the kind of result that might leave you queasy and anxious for much of the inexplicably-timed international break.
Even in the...
Every top team wants versatile players. In fact, they need flexible players to give them the option of changing things within a match without having to make changes.
