What has been the main narrative at Liverpool since Jurgen Klopp took charge back in October 2015? They can’t beat the lesser sides. This has undoubtedly been a major issue, and one of the main reasons why a title challenge evaporated in such alarming fashion last season. In fact, it has been an achilles heel […]
Watching the latest, entirely hapless, efforts of Theresa May to seem like a normal human person by attempting to participate in that most regrettable of group activities, a Mexican wave, your columnist was struck by how apt a metaphor it was for the ineptitude shown by Liverpool FC in their transfer strategy so far this […]
Liverpool have been famed for some fairly spectacular disappointments over the years, especially since the Premier League era got underway. The end of the 2002/03 season was one of the Reds’ most disastrous conclusions to a campaign, and it actually altered English football forever in the process. With two matches remaining, Liverpool remained right in […]
I recently asked my daughter to clarify exactly what the kids mean when they say something is ‘meta.’ Now, you can stop your smug sniggering – it’s not like I had no idea. I may remember Kenny Dalglish gracing the number 7 for the Redmen, I may have had my first legal pint in 1991 […]
Few sets of supporters crave something as much as Liverpool fans crave a league title. It really is a drug. For 27 years, we have waited and waited for the curse to end, but unlike most footballing records, this one seems destined to last forever. We have had to watch Man United dominate the English […]
When writhing through the thick fug of a migraine, it can be hard to tell with absolute certainty what is real and what one might be imagining. On Friday, complications arising from some scheduled prodding and poking under the bonnet of your columnist’s noggin, resulted in 3 days of pain-induced confusion and reality-bending altered perception. […]
Trusting your mental well-being to others is a precarious activity at the best of times. Placing your happiness in the hands, or error-prone feet, of a group of talented but notoriously flaky professional footballers, is surely a sign that you are, on some level, quite mad – as mad as a hatter, even. For another […]
Liverpool and Everton both have fresh injury news troubling them ahead of this weekend’s Merseyside Derby, an important one in the context of the season. The Blues haven’t won at Anfield in around a million years, but there’s always the next one for them to change that, and with Ronald Koeman’s resurgent Toffees coming in […]
Let me get this out of the way immediately: I think Jordan Henderson is a better player than Emre Can. He is a more consistent, intelligent, mature footballer, and in most situations, if push came to shove, I would always pick Liverpool’s captain over the talented young German. The thing is, Saturday’s Merseyside derby is […]
Chelsea may be cruising towards the Premier League title in a frustratingly ruthless fashion, but there is still a huge amount to fight for at the top of the table. Granted, securing a top-four finish should never be seen as a giant achievement for a club of Liverpool’s stature, but being in next season’s Champions […]
