Tough in Toon

December 5, 2024

 

Posted at 08:54h in Uncategorized by

Drawing at Newcastle isn't then end of the word is it? Unfortunately our defence fell apart when maybe we needed them most. Watertight at home but is it an open door away? Once again Mo [nearly] bailed us out with another two goals and a crossbar away from a hattrick but this time we couldn't...

That’ll Do Nicely

December 1, 2024

 

Posted at 19:16h in Uncategorized by

Every game feels like a must win game and we needed to beat Manchester City. The Arsenal and Chelsea results show they're in the race but we did what we had to do against Manchester City and that is we won.  We deserved it. Anfield bayed and Anfield got what it wanted.  Mo set Cody...

Oh What A Night

I was there the last time we beat Real Madrid at Anfield. Seems like it was in a different lifetime. This time we were brilliant and the 2-0 margin only flattered Madrid. The best atmosphere for a Euro game since the Barca night and we deserved everything we got. Everyman was a king, even though...

Walking Through The Storm

November 25, 2024

For some, looking at Southampton [bottom] v Liverpool [top] it looked a sure thing Liverpool win.  However, add Storm Bert and the elements to the game and things change.  We didn't play anywhere near to the level usually required but in the end we won.  Szoboszlai put us in front but Saints turned it around...

Black Rock

Darwin Nunez scored the first in a 2-0 win, probably should have scored another. Mo Salah wrapped the points up five minutes from the end of normal time which made the final countdown easier to cope with. Only this game wasn't just about the men who scored the goals, it was more about Ibou Konate....

Fireworks Again

November 6, 2024

 

Posted at 09:12h in Uncategorized by

I don't know what they're giving the players at halftime but it seems to work. The first half was a case of both teams cancelling each other out and it was all a bit subdued. Then came the second half and Luis Diaz lighting up the night sky in the way the fireworks had done...

Damp Squibs & Sky Rockets

November 2, 2024

 

Posted at 19:53h in Uncategorized by

This was the ultimate tale of two halves surely? With bonfire night on the horizon the first half was the damp squib that has ruined many a Guy Fawkes night. We were lucky it was only one-nil to Brighton. Second half, well maybe a fifteen minute spell, the was the the total opposite. Alright,...

The Cup That Cheers

October 31, 2024

 

Posted at 08:59h in Uncategorized by

We move on the League Cup after beating Brighton. Two great goals from Cody Gakpo and another from Luis Diaz got us through but the outstanding player on the night had to be our third choice goalkeeper Vitezslav Jaros. An early save and then the best of the night when he turned a header onto...

One Point Is Better Than None

October 28, 2024

 

Posted at 07:58h in Uncategorized by

Arsenal away looked on of the hardest away games on the list so to go there and get a draw can't be viewed as anything else than a decent result. Trailing twice about coming back to get a couple of equalisers thanks to goals from VvD and Mo has to be a plus. Maybe we...

Rolling Along

October 24, 2024

 

Posted at 08:17h in Uncategorized by

Another place, another competition and another win.  Leipzig 0 Liverpool 1 and that makes it six away wins on the bounce and just the one loss and eleven wins in total.  Second in the European League on goal difference so we're rolling along. Glad that Darwin Nunez scored and what a performance from Kelleher.  The...
