Liverpool 1 Burnley 1

January 18, 2026

 

Posted at 09:40h in Uncategorized by

As I left the ground after the Burnley game someone remarked, “The passion has been sucked out of the team and the support”. He added, “What Klopp built has gone.” Hard to disagree.  We may have dominated everything but playing in such a predictable way doesn’t help. We’ve had a run of winnable games but...

Liverpool 4 Barnsley 1

January 13, 2026

 

Posted at 08:03h in Uncategorized by

All that mattered against Barnsley was winning and getting into Round Four of the FA Cup. We did that. Maybe the 4-1 scoreline flattered us but Szoboszlai scored the goal of the game but then performed the daftest act of the game to give Barnsley hope. Even so I thought we were just going through...

Arsenal 0 Liverpool 0

I’ve been critical of the team, the manager and just about everyone over the last few weeks and I feared the worse down in North London.  No strikers available and hardly any back up on the bench but unlike the Leeds game, this is one 0-0 I’m not complaining about. We were the better side...

Fulham 2 Liverpool 2

This result wasn't a disappointment, it was sort of expected. We're now in a period of mediocrity and those at the top, not just Arne, should start admitting it. At the outset of the season the squad, certainly in terms of numbers looked capable but with all the injuries that hasn't been the case. ...

Liverpool 0 Leeds 0

To me the game against Leeds was dismal and abysmal. No creativity, no urgency until the last 10-minutes when we resorted to lump it forward and hope.  Farke set his side up superbly and they deserved their point. The only bonus for me was not conceding to a set piece but that’s a mere crumb...

Happy New Year

December 31, 2025

 

Posted at 10:46h in Uncategorized by

Another year nearly over. A great first six months for LFC, not quite so great in the last six months. A hard time for Red All Over The Land as we faced lousy weather plus an ever changing culture among the Fanbase many of whom have no idea what a Fanzine is or what...

Liverpool 2 Wolves 1

December 28, 2025

 

Posted at 10:21h in Uncategorized by

On the football front Liverpool v Wolves was nothing more than cold turkey.  Liverpool this season have perfected the art of turning the simple into the difficult, relaxed into stress. Yes, we won, the only thing that is important in the final analysis, but did anybody really enjoy that last half an hour? Wirtz took...

Spurs 1 Liverpool 2

December 21, 2025

 

Posted at 10:25h in Uncategorized by

We played the last ten minutes with all the confidence of the England cricket team but at the end of the day we got what we wanted. Isak and Ekitike scoring was good news, the injuries and having to sub the subs wasn’t. ...

Editorial Issue 319

December 17, 2025

 

Posted at 16:27h in Uncategorized by

Welcome to Issue 319 of Red All Over The Land. There’s no point in me droning on about the Arne/Mo issue because it gets enough mention in this Issue and it’s already bored the backside off the majority.  It’s not the first time a Liverpool player and the manager have had a tiff, and it won’t...

Liverpool 2 Brighton 0

December 14, 2025

 

Posted at 10:04h in Uncategorized by

There was a funny feeling around Anfield before the Brighton game but inside the first minute Hugo lifted the mood. Bit by bit it felt we were doing things right. It wasn’t perfect but at least everyone seemed to be singing from the same carol sheet. When Mo came on, he looked a bit happier,...
