Liverpool 3 Maribor 0

November 2, 2017

 

In Liverpool's history of great European nights future generations won't find this one.  It was as tepid on the pitch as it was off it.  The first half was almost like watching the Huddersfield game again only the missed penalty came in the second half this time.  Thankfully we again scored three second half goals but...

Liverpool 3 Huddersfield 0

The way things have gone this season we'd have taken this result at the start wouldn't we?  The first half was dire and our missed penalty just about summed it up.  Thankfully the second half was better and we got the goals.  Huddersfield looked like a side who won't be around the top flight for...

Spurs 4 Liverpool 1

October 23, 2017

 

Four more goals conceded and each and everyone a gift.  Pathetic and embarrassing no matter how you look at it.  No point in dwelling on it, leave that to the manager and the players....

Maribor 0 Liverpool 7

After the famine cometh the feast! It doesn't matter to me how good or bad they were we still had to get the result, get some goals, boost confidence and all that sort of stuff. & lo and behold that's what we did. Nobody picked up an injury as far as we know, everybody including...

Liverpool 0 Manchester United 0

October 15, 2017

 

After the hype comes the predictable. Manchester United didn't come to win and we couldn't win - reminded me of last seasons game.  We didn't play too badly, nobody was outstanding but nobody had a bad 'un either. Unfortunately we can't score goals at the moment but for once we didn't look like conceding either....

Newcastle 1 Liverpool 1

Better late than never with this post. Basically the same as our previous games. Dominated possession, had most shots, attacked, attacked and attacked. Drew one all. Maybe it will change next time....

Moscow Spartak 1 Liverpool 1

Another somewhat predictable night. Total domination but couldn't turn the superiority into goals. A goal conceded from a set piece and Lothar Karius under fire yet again.  If they're calling our attacking options 'The Fab Four' well they were singing out of key and as Ringo once sang, they needed a little help from their friends!...

Leicester City 2 Liverpool 3

September 26, 2017

 

Revenge is sweet, if that’s what this was.  Only why we should end the game with nothing of our fingernails left to chew is no longer baffling.  We now expect it and when Leicester were gifted a goal right on halftime by the incompetence of a referee or by virtue of Simon Mignolet messing [you...

Some people don’t care about the League Cup, but I’m not one of them.  This was the chance for all those on the fringe to show what they can do, they didn’t do it.  There were strange decisions again but I think even Jürgen is becoming as baffled as the rest of us....
