Two-All With City About Right

October 4, 2021

 

Posted at 06:55h in Uncategorized by

Maybe a draw was a fair result. I thought we started okay but then got overwhelmed and I was grateful we held out until halftime. Second half both teams went for it; Mo Salah is the best player in the world today. His second half showing proved it. He set up Sadio and then scored...

We Always Win In Porto

September 29, 2021

 

Posted at 12:39h in Uncategorized by

A 5-1 away win the group stages of the Champions League can't be bad. Porto had drawn away with Atlético Madrid so this time it looked a bit harder than those two previous 5-0 and 4-1 wins were concerned. It didn’t turn out that way. Two goals each for Mo and Bobby plus one from...

Stung By The Bees

September 26, 2021

 

Posted at 16:10h in Uncategorized by

You could suggest this wasn’t our best performance since the turn around in form back in March and you’d probably be right. We didn’t win and we’ve become used to winning, but we didn’t lose either and we ended the day one point clear at the top of the table. We got bullied, bringing back...

Preston Awaits

September 23, 2021

 

Posted at 09:20h in Uncategorized by

The draw for the last sixteen of the League Cup gave us another away day this time in Preston. Hopefully we’ll get the Shankly Stand and we will fill it. Be another chance to give game time to the squad and throw a few of the kids in as well....

Chirping In Norwich

September 23, 2021

 

Posted at 09:17h in Uncategorized by

Jürgen sent out a decent looking side for the League Cup game in Norwich with a mix of experience and youth. He introduced Kaide Gordon to the watching world and if they didn’t know who he is, they have an idea now! A decent showing and a 3-0 with everyone contributing to a good night....

Doing Enough

September 19, 2021

 

Posted at 14:57h in Uncategorized by

We were brilliant against Crystal palace but we did enough to win even with a back four that had never played together before. TAA felt ill on the morning of the game so missed out while Robbo and Joel Matip were ‘rested’. To say he rode our luck wouldn’t be an understatement but thankfully we’ve...

Euro Starts With A Win

September 16, 2021

 

Posted at 06:21h in Uncategorized by

We start the European campaign with a win. The five goal ‘thriller’ would have entertained the neutrals but those who care were put through the grinder. When TAA put us in front we looked good, then Mo missed a penalty and we lost our way and found ourselves, somehow 2-1 adrift at halftime. Good second...

Sickening Injury Mars The Day

September 13, 2021

 

Posted at 09:14h in Uncategorized by

The sickening injury to Harvey Elliott marred the day because on the football front against Leeds, Liverpool was superb. Three nil could have been five or six and would have been if Sadio Manè had taken his chances. It should be said he was defied a couple of times by decent defending and goalkeeping but...

Editorial 275 Welcome to Issue 275 of Red All Over The Land. As this Issue gets put together the new season is still in nappies yet so much has happened it’s hard to know the best place to start, but here we go. On the day of the Kops Last Stand in 1994 I, along with my nephew...
