Liverpool 0 WBA 0

December 20, 2017

 

I doubt there’d been a more boring game at Anfield in many-a-day.  The atmosphere was non-existent; the performance on the pitch never even reached the dizzy heights of lukewarm and as far as the ‘Fab Four’ were concerned it was like watching a one of those Tribute bands that hadn’t got a clue.  Karius found...

Liverpool 1 Everton 1

December 11, 2017

 

Starting with the obvious, we should have been out of sight before the Everton penalty.  Mane's miss on halftime was costly, he could have squared the ball and any of three would have had a tap in.  Salah's goal was typical - just brilliant. Was it a penalty, sorry Jurgen if a player does what...

Liverpool 7 Spartak Moscow 0

December 8, 2017

 

I thought we would beat Spartak but I wasn't expecting anything like this.  Three up inside twenty minutes and instead of coasting home we went for the jugular.  Brilliant; and Coutinho was incredible as were Mane, Salah and Firmino.  When you think seven didn't flatter us because seven could have been ten or more it says...

Brighton 1 Liverpool 5

December 5, 2017

 

Sometimes things just go as you would want. Had Manchester City or their less illustrious neighbours won at Brighton in the manner Liverpool did the media and Sky would have been all over them. As it was nobody seemed to be saying too much about how we'd performed. Salah had a quiet game, just set...

Stoke 0 Liverpool 3

December 5, 2017

 

It took awhile but once Salah came on the game changed. The first goal caused Stoke to get upset by Mane scoring meant we were in the driving seat. Mignolet could and probably should have walked but we got away with it.  Enter Salah and the rest was straightforward. Brilliant first goal and happy to...

Liverpool 1 Chelsea 1

November 26, 2017

 

This game was hard to judge. We might have won, not sure if we would have deserved it but a draw seemed the fairer result only letting a goal in so close to the end having defended a lot better than in midweek made it harder to take. Salah was probably our best player but...

Sevilla 3 Liverpool 3

November 22, 2017

 

For forty five minutes we were in dreamland but the horror show was lying in wait.  How do these things happen?  Well the simple answer is also the obvious one.  All our defensive shortcomings floated back to the surface.  Our forwards must be as fed with it as the rest but while you can’t just...

Liverpool 3 Southampton 0

November 19, 2017

 

Another team who came to defend and show little ambition only this time we sorted it.  The first goal soothed the nerves and Mo Salah is beginning to look a bargain basement buy.  I thought the Southampton supporters were a disgrace with the things they chanted at their former player Dejan Lovren, give him stick...

Issue 237 Now On Sale

November 17, 2017

 

Issue 237 is now on sale and will be available from the usual haunts around the ground at the games v Southampton, Chelsea and Spartak. Also hopefully on sale at Stoke and Brighton. Issue 238 is due out v Everton....

West Ham 1 Liverpool 4

November 5, 2017

 

Well if we needed something to lift us a trip to West Ham isn't a bad idea. West Ham play the type of game that suits us, they give us room to do what we like to do. See the first goal, Salah looked quick when they showed the goal in slo-mo.  One thing Mo...
