“Don’t sack Mourinho, don’t sack Mourinho...”
Not at all a shabby Sunday. Three goals and three points for the Reds, back to top of the league to conclude a brilliant week.
We’ll worry about Wolves away tomorrow, but for now let us enjoy the delights of a first league win over Manchester United since 2014.
Let’s rate...
Ask ten football fans: which is the world’s greatest football rivalry?
You will get ten different answers – if not more.
A Glaswegian may tell you that nothing is as fierce as the Old Firm Derby, Celtic vs Rangers, with its backdrop of simmering political and religious tensions.
Ask a Milanese: he will tell you that the...

Since that 2-1 defeat to PSG in France, The Reds have gone on to win their next four games, qualifying for the last 16 of the Champions League and going top of the Premier League...
There is no correct way to play football no matter how much we may hear the phrase “Play the right way” across the media. The uber-pragmatic style which epitomized the mid-noughties could not be further from the pressing dominant, possession styles of the modern era.
Both Jose Mourinho and Jurgen Klopp employ styles which don’t...
Well, this is bizarre.
Not since the days of Rafa Benitez has Liverpool’s fanbase, as a collective, been able to relax.
No, not when Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren compounded previously inflicted wounds, very visible wounds that kept on bleeding. Calling the 2014/15-era Glen Johnson a liability would be a compliment, Lucas Leiva’s personal hobby of...
MANCHESTER, England: The walls were closing in on Jose Mourinho’s tenure at Manchester United as a hugely unfancied Newcastle side, managed by (one of) the Portuguese’s biggest rivals visited Old Trafford, to try and seal the 3-time Premier League champion (as he is constantly reminding us) managers fate.
The history of bad blood between the...
Liverpool’s aura of invincibility was always going to be pierced at some point.
Retrospectively, it was almost inevitable that Jose Mourinho and the “anti-football” rhetoric that surrounds his Manchester United side would be the pin that burst Jürgen Klopp’s bubble. Following a dismal exit in the FA Cup at the hands of West Bromwich Albion,...
So here we go again, the return of one of the most unbearable fixtures for many Liverpool fans: Man United away.
It is a game that we love to win more than just about any other but know all too well how bleak defeat can be.
Unfortunately, that has often been the case at Old Trafford...
Jurgen Klopp isn’t as universally fashionable as he was when he became Liverpool manager back in October 2015 - I think we can all agree on that.
When Klopp arrived on our shores he was treated like a God by Reds supporters - something we love to do with our managers - and his appointment...
With the nervous energy ticking over as we approach Saturday's game, what follows are some musings on the United game. We drew with United twice last season and struggled to create chances against them, such is Mourinho's mastery at controlling and limiting space against top quality opposition. We continue to struggle against the parked...
