My thoughts

Spurs 1 Liverpool 2 21 Dec 2025 - We played the last ten minutes with all the confidence of the England cricket team but at the end of the day we got what we wanted. Isak and Ekitike scoring was good news, the injuries and having to sub the subs wasn’t. ...
Editorial Issue 319 17 Dec 2025 - Welcome to Issue 319 of Red All Over The Land. There’s no point in me droning on about the Arne/Mo issue because it gets enough mention in this Issue and it’s already bored the backside off the majority. It’s not the first time a Liverpool player and the manager have had a tiff, and it won’t be the last. It shouldn’t have happened and it surely became an embarrassment to all concerned. Almost as big an embarrassment as a player getting sent off for thumping his own teammate but he got applauded by his manager and almost lauded in the press! I’ve recently read comments by former Liverpool players about how they ‘hated’ a manager simply because the manager didn’t… ...
Liverpool 2 Brighton 0 14 Dec 2025 - There was a funny feeling around Anfield before the Brighton game but inside the first minute Hugo lifted the mood. Bit by bit it felt we were doing things right. It wasn’t perfect but at least everyone seemed to be singing from the same carol sheet. When Mo came on, he looked a bit happier, and the second Hugo goal eased the tension. “Oh Come All Ye Faithful” even broke out. The squad imbalance was still there as we were forced to use three right backs, two of them makeshift and Robbo ended up on the left wing. A short step for Liverpool, whether it’s a giant step for the season we’ll soon find out. ...
Inter 0 Liverpool 1 10 Dec 2025 - After a nightmare 72-hours for the club we finally got back to football. We were playing the side that reached the final last season, the side that currently tops the Italian league and we beat them. It was a late penalty and the man we trusted to take it, Dom Szoboszlai, took it and scored. He's been the shining light in what has been a dark few months. Let's hope we can go on from here. ...
No Winners; Only Losers 9 Dec 2025 - We should have been feeling a bit pleased with the FA Cup draw, a home tie with Barnsley but the news hardly got a mention due to the latest news coming out of Liverpool, Mo won’t be travelling to Milan. The press conference which featured Arne and Alisson, but the talk was all about Mo. Some have said the whole matter should have been dealt with in private but in the modern world of football the word private no longer exists. The fallout after Mo rocked the whole of Merseyside has been annoying and embarrassing. There will be no winners only losers. The fans and the rest of the team have got to get on with things. Whether Mo ever… ...
Leeds 3 Liverpool 3 7 Dec 2025 - Another implosion but what happened afterwards dominates the headlines. What Mo said should have been kept in house but it's too late for that now. What it may highlight is a fractured dressing room and something Arne doesn't see able to fix. A sad state of affairs. ...
Liverpool 1 Sunderland 1 4 Dec 2025 - Thoughts about last night v Sunderland. Positives - Flo is looking the player they said he was and I don't care what the PL say, that goal was his. Negatives - I haven't got enough space but just to say that first half was a cure for insomnia. A draw was all we deserved and in the end it was thanks to Federico that we at least got that. Once again, more questions than answers. ...
West Ham 0 Liverpool 2 30 Nov 2025 - Not going to comment on the game just yet but RAOTL sends its respect to WHU after the news about Billy Bonds. There're are legends and real legends, Billy Bonds an absolute legend. West Ham through & through. Now the game. Winning today was all that mattered. How we won was secondary. A clean sheet and Joe Gomez helps set up the second goal. Where did we find him? West Ham aren’t a good side although they’ve improved of late, but we needed this win. Hopefully the goal will help Isak, and this is the start of his Anfield career. Despite what some think, dropping Mo wasn’t an easy decision but it was the right one. We go again on… ...
Liverpool 1 PSV 4 27 Nov 2025 - This is possibly the worst run of form in my lifetime., probably most people. I won’t advocate sackings but a couple of questions. Joe Gomez is a defender, why not give him a game. Please explain why Robbo can’t get in this team. There was no passion on the pitch nor off it. Next Wednesday our fans should line the Anfield Road with banners & flares etc. Noise. Give that team coach a welcome like we were giving it at the end of last season. It’s just as important when the tides against you. ...
Editorial 318 25 Nov 2025 - Welcome to Issue 318 of Red All Over The Land. Almost a year ago we were held to a draw by Newcastle up at St. James’s Park and we said in the Fanzine it felt like a loss. The reason being it was because we were a good side and beginning to cement our place at the top of the league. We would stay in pole position and didn’t we let the world know it last May. Jocky Hansen once remarked one reason Liverpool stayed at the top was always signing good players when they were strong. Liverpool did their homework on players and probably knew more about the player they were getting than the player himself. Last summer Liverpool… ...
