A win is a win and we won. First visiting team to win a Premier League game at Sunderland this season. It took a long time for the goal we both needed and deserved to come but when VvD got on the end of a Mo cross it was to prove enough. Sadly, the game...
The first half against Manchester City, on our part, was nothing short of tepid. The second half, for maybe 20-minutes, was an improvement and a free kick from Dom was world class in its execution. Then, we seemed to lose the plot. I can’t be sure Arne even knew the plot. He obviously had little trust...
When Newcastle scored, I feared the worst, in fact I expected the worst. They’d been the better side but about five minutes later we were winning 2-1. Thank you, Hugo Ekitike. Their fans, not to mention Eddie Howe and his cohort on the sidelines, must be a bit sick he signed for us and not...
We were expected to beat Qarabag and we did just that. For a change it was all a bit low key as the team from Azerbaijan offered little threat. I was just pleased to see the goals go in but there are now concerns about Frimpong. I think that leaves us with no right backs....
Welcome to Issue 320 of Red All Over The Land. If the words, “You’re only as good as your last game” are true then Liverpool are very good after a superb 3-0 win in Marseille that means they are one win away from a top eight finish in the European League and automatic qualification for the...
I was in Krakow when Liverpool headed to the south coast to play Bournemouth. In Krakow the local river was frozen but as news came across from the Bournemouth game it sounded to me that Arne was skating on thin ice. Not just Arne though is it? The excuses have long run out and there...
To a fan starved of just about everything over the past weeks this was like a feast. Not quite a banquet but it touched a spot, nevertheless. Mo was back and Mo was playing and that was good for starters. The main course was not just the goals, but the overall performance and the result...
As I left the ground after the Burnley game someone remarked, “The passion has been sucked out of the team and the support”. He added, “What Klopp built has gone.” Hard to disagree. We may have dominated everything but playing in such a predictable way doesn’t help. We’ve had a run of winnable games but...
All that mattered against Barnsley was winning and getting into Round Four of the FA Cup. We did that. Maybe the 4-1 scoreline flattered us but Szoboszlai scored the goal of the game but then performed the daftest act of the game to give Barnsley hope. Even so I thought we were just going through...
I’ve been critical of the team, the manager and just about everyone over the last few weeks and I feared the worse down in North London. No strikers available and hardly any back up on the bench but unlike the Leeds game, this is one 0-0 I’m not complaining about. We were the better side...
