Excuse: a reason or explanation given to justify a fault or offence. For some bizarre reason, excuses are viewed as negatives these days. I don’t quite understand why given, per the definition, it is a justification as to why something has happened. Obviously, these truths can be embellished and this might why people seem to […]
Liverpool travelled to the London Stadium buoyed by a brilliant performance against Spurs. However, David Moyes’ West Ham side have proven this season they can vie with the best, and hope to challenge for European qualification at the end of the season. West Ham lined up in a 4-2-3-1 shape. Michail Antonio led the line, […]
Liverpool made it consecutive home Premier League defeats with a 1-0 defeat to Brighton. Steven Alzate’s second-half strike gave the visitors all three points as the toothless Reds managed only one shot on target as their Anfield goal drought continued. The Reds’ — whose injury woes continued with the loss of both Sadio Mane and […]
The press, the fans and the neutrals have all criticised Roberto Firmino this season. However, Bobby deserves credit for firing Liverpool out of their current dry spell. Liverpool had gone 2 Premier League games without scoring, when Manchester United arrived at Anfield in January. Mo Salah slalomed through Manchester United’s defence, in search of that […]
Roberto Firmino was back to his best in Liverpool’s recent 3-1 win away to Spurs. The Brazilian opened the scoring on the cusp of half time and showed the movement, touch, and sublime link play of old as the Reds scored their first league goals in over a month. The number 9’s goal, a tap […]

A drab first-half seemed to confirm those pre-match convictions. But in the end, the win wasn’t ugly; it was beautiful. Either side of a contender […]
January may have been a rough month to start for Liverpool, but a couple matches in the capital at the end of the month have firmly put the Reds back on track and in title contention again. Alisson – 7 The handsome Brazilian wasn’t asked to do much today with Antonio surprisingly ineffective and Soucek […]
Liverpool moved to third in the Premier League table after a 3-1 win away to West Ham United at the London Stadium. A brace from Mohamed Salah as well as a Georginio Wijnaldum goal sent the Reds into a 3-0 lead before Craig Dawson pulled a consolation back for the hosts with only a few […]
Liverpool’s goal drought never really bothered me. Some went to the extreme, claiming the system had been found out and Jurgen Klopp needed to make wholesale changes to get them firing again. In truth, it was a mixture of bad luck and bad finishing. I wrote about it in detail for work. The Reds had […]
Defeat at Old Trafford, but at last reason to be optimistic. Going forward, Liverpool started to tick again. Having been benched in midweek, Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino responded commendably. Salah was the finisher and Firmino the architect as the Reds scored twice at Old Trafford for the first time since 2014. This time, they […]
