Manchester United vs Liverpool – The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Three games, two draws and a defeat, seven points dropped. The start to this season has gone from "less than ideal" to farcical.

Liverpool FC & The Damning State Of Play

Being almost unsurprised by the defeat at Manchester United, kind of sums of where Liverpool FC are right now.

Opinion: We’ve All Been Darwin Nunez

When I was at school, there was a girl who found sheer joy in taking the mickey out of me. She would wind me up whenever she could, and she wouldn't stop. I would always try to keep my cool, but one day, it went too far. I can't remember exactly what it was...

Liverpool v Crystal Palace – Time For Darwin To Explode

No Liverpool fan is happy with how the Reds' opening game against Fulham went, and it really is a question as to who starts this game. Injuries are an issue, but there is still more than enough to collect all three points. The balance of the team needs to be addressed and certain games...
