Chris Bascombe, revered journalist at The Times, summed the hysteria around Liverpool's drab 0-0 draw with Manchester United up perfectly on Monday morning when he said:
"So after losing 1-1 at The Emirates earlier this season, it was a 0-0 defeat at Old Trafford? In the words of Catherine Tate's Gran... "What a load of...
Tipped to be a huge game in Liverpool's title challenge, there was plenty of expectation and anticipation at Old Trafford. United, who have experienced somewhat of a resurgence under Ole continue to work for a top-four finish while Jurgen Klopp's team knew a win would see them make a statement to Manchester City. Unfortunately,...
As Liverpool embarked on the first-leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie, there were staunch questions surrounding the weakened defence.
The Reds have suffered somewhat of an injury crisis in recent weeks – Dejan Lovren picked up a hamstring strain in the opening stages of the cup against Wolves and has only played...
Liverpool's 4-1 win at Man United in 2009 remains my favourite-ever away win by the Reds, in any competition.
Having started supporting Liverpool in 1994, it took until December 2000 to even see them prevail at Old Trafford, as Danny Murphy scored the only goal.

Liverpool face Manchester United at Old Trafford. To be honest, no other context should be needed to demonstrate the sheer weight of this fixture, as it’s probably the biggest fixture in the history of English football and remains arguably the biggest fixture on the calendar.
But in case more emphasis was needed on this game,...

There are very few clubs with the prestige and history of Bayern Munich. Irrespective of their current form or standing, when a club such as Bayern Munich, Real Madrid or Barcelona are set to visit, everyone sits a little straighter. These fixtures are precisely what makes Europe's premier competition the best club competition in...
A lot has been made of the fact that Joe Gomez has been out injured for Liverpool this season – and the impact that that has on Liverpool’s defence. But comparatively, not as much has been made of the impact of losing Trent Alexander-Arnold for a period of time – with Trent missing six...
Liverpool, Anfield, Europe. It’s a combination that has a real history of magic. How many great teams have come to Anfield, expecting to get a result, and been summarily turned over, the sheer force of the stadium, the crowd and the team pulling through.
To be fair, in my lifetime, at least, that has certainly...
The Reds are six months into the season and are still right in the thick of a title race. These next two weeks of football will have an immense impact going into the final stretch of the season.
On Tuesday, Liverpool entertain Bayern Munich at Anfield in the first leg of the Round of 16...
