Liverpool 2 Sporting Lisbon 2

July 25, 2019

 

Final game of the US tour and maybe another slightly disappointing result. One down early on before Origi and Wijnaldum turned things around before halftime only for the Portuguese side to level it in the second half.  Probably a fair result in a game which saw the debut of Sepp van den Berg. These tours...

Liverpool 1 Seville 2

July 22, 2019

 

A 'home' defeat at Fenway Park; so the US tour not going quite as planned.  The Spaniards appeared to have come for war judging by some of the treatment they handed out.  Once again Jurgen opted for the mix and match approach and a lack of cohesion is there at the moment.  We went a goal...

Liverpool 2 Dortmund 3

July 20, 2019

 

First stop on the US tour was Indiana and it resulted in a defeat against old foes Dortmund Borussia. Like with pre-season wins pre-season defeats don't really matter, not when the football is twenty odd aside.  Too many faces still missing and others just getting on the field to stretch their legs.  A goal down...

The Rumour Mill

July 15, 2019

 

Bloody annoying isn't it. That's why we choose to ignore it. The obvious could happen like Simon Mignolet will go in search of first team football as might Nathaniel Clyne.  So we may sign goalkeeper cover but doubt very much else will happen.  Our advice; ignore the rumours....

Bradford City 1 Liverpool 3

July 15, 2019

 

The second game of the elongated warm-up campaign took us to Bradford to lend support for ex-red Stephen Darby who now lives with MND. So the result and performance secondary and a sell out crowd helped the cause. First half wasn't too bad with Milner scoring with a deflected long rage drive and a penalty....

Tranmere 0 Liverpool 6

July 15, 2019

 

Holidays over for some and a mixed assortment took a ferry cross the Mersey for the now annual game against Tranny. Nice work out and goals aplenty. 6-0 was decent reward for the effort put in by two different starting elevens. Rhian Brewster is viewed as the next rising star and two goals didn't do...

Issue 254 Editorial

July 7, 2019

 

Welcome to Issue 254 of Red All Over The Land. Last season, where to start?  Well, at the end is as good a place as any.  June 1st will go down as another of those nights; another “Best night of our life” etc.  Obviously I would have loved to have seen us win the league but...

Another Friday Nighter

June 13, 2019

 

Well we start with a home game against promoted Norwich City which will be played on a Friday night [bet the Norwich fans are delighted]. Being as we have a game in the Super Cup against Chelsea in Istanbul a few days later, let’s treat this as a day’s extra rest and the chance of...

Fact Not Fiction

June 13, 2019

 

As is the norm in this day and age Liverpool are being linked with a few dozen players who in reality the club have no interest in whatsoever.  Since Jürgen arrived the number of players we’ve signed has been reduced and instead of quantity we err on the side of quality and that’s how it...

Tottenham 0 Liverpool 2

June 4, 2019

 

We won the European Cup for the sixth time. But you all know that don't you?...
