Super Salah saves Reds again
Having dropped points against Arsenal in the fashion we did the result against Swansea on Tuesday evening was exactly what the doctor ordered.

Our disappointing draw at the Emirates last week was only slightly deflating in the nature in which the point was gained as opposed to actually gaining a point.

Turgid Reds held by Baggies
A disappointing result like the one picked up on Sunday needs to be followed by a positive performance. Everton stayed in the game and, in the end, that proved to be all they needed to do to pick up a point. When it seemed like third gear would do for Liverpool to pick up the […]

The Frustrated Optimist
Derbies are nervy affairs. Most people don’t look forward to them because the fear of losing is just too much to bear.
