Leicester City 2 Liverpool 3

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...

Leicester 2 Liverpool 0

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....

Liverpool 1 Burnley 1

Football can be so annoying and games like this don’t help.  The Stats tell you one thing and they bombard you with them but they’re all so pointless.  The only one that matters is the result.  We ran out of ideas pretty quickly and when Burnley took the lead I feared the worse but we...

Liverpool 2 Seville 2

All things considered this was a decent enough game and I thought a draw was a fair enough result.  We have to live now with our defending deficiencies and strange goalkeeping rotations, not that Karius was to blame for the goals we conceded in this game.  We came back well after the early setback and...

Why would a bunch of Arabs buy a toilet, albeit a brand spanking (?)  new one ? I always used to think Citeh fans were a bit better than their Manc brethren, but after Saturday, when we happened to be a few seats away from the refugees and squatters from Wythenshawe and Mosside, I can’t...

Manchester City 5 Liverpool 0

There can be no doubt the sending off of Mane changed the game and whether or not he should have been sent off depends on where you sit. I thought it was harsh and there was no intent or malice. Others think it was right but agree there was no intent or malice.  It might...

Liverpool 4 Arsenal 0

August 29, 2017

So Arsenal didn’t turn up?  That’s how it sounded when the media summed up the game.  Maybe Arsenal turned up, saw what was coming so got out the way?  Anyone would give a Juggernaut a wide berth!  We looked brilliant almost from the off and it was more about the fact Arsenal just couldn’t handle...

Liverpool 4 Hoffenheim 2

The puzzle isn’t solved.  At one end of the pitch Liverpool look like classical composers [forget heavy metal] with all kinds of orchestral manoeuvres in the dark even if their supposed conductor has gone AWOL - or doing a bit of swinging the lead.  At the other end Liverpool just looked in the dark and...

Liverpool 1 Crystal Palace 0

For about three quarters of this game there was the feeling the bogeyman was sitting somewhere waiting to pounce.  Jürgen is either a very cool customer or a gamblin’ man making so many changes for just the second game of the season and the first one at home.  I only got into my seat as...

Just two days to go before the first home game of the season and following the game in Germany there should be a dose of excitement around the fields of Anfield Road but instead there’s probably an equal amount of trepidation, frustration mixed in with anticipation. What will be the topic of conversation leading up to...
