Shall we all point and laugh at United now?
What’s that? Manchester City led a game at half-time and went on to win? Are you sure? I thought they had soft mentalities and all that? Surely, you cannot mean that they are actually worthy winners of the Premier League? But they had lost their last three big matches! Finished, they were. Finished I tell […]

Premier League week 33 round-up: Spoils are shared in drab Merseyside derby
In the history of Merseyside Derbies, Saturday’s damp squib at Goodison Park will barely even be a footnote. A weakened Liverpool side showed none of the fluidity and energy that has seen them draw so many plaudits under Jurgen Klopp, understandably so with Tuesday’s Champions League date in Manchester to come.

International round-up: Reds’ England midfielders impress but Gomez injury unwelcome
Any hopes that Jurgen Klopp would have had of seeing his international players get through the weekend unscathed ended within a few minutes of Netherlands and England kicking off in Amsterdam, with Joe Gomez hobbling off with an ankle injury in the early stages and likely to miss the Reds’ Champions League quarter-final. It was […]

FA Cup quarter-finals round-up: No surprises as all four favourites advance to the semis
The 2017/18 FA Cup has seen a few shocks throughout the competition, but in each of the quarter-finals, the team classified as favourites prevailed to advance to the last four.

Premier League week 31 round-up: Hornets stung by sensational, superb Salah
I remember being at Anfield that night in 2013 when Luis Suarez toyed with Norwich, scoring four times in a 5-1 rout, and thinking that it would be a long time before the famous stadium witnessed such a monumental display of individual brilliance. I reckoned without one Mohamed Salah, who for all his goalscoring prowess […]

Premier League week 30 round-up: Liverpool left to rue Rashford’s return to form and refereeing woes
Just over two years since netting a decisive quick-fire first half brace against an established rival on his Premier League debut, Marcus Rashford did the same again on Saturday as Manchester United inflicted Liverpool’s fourth league defeat of the season. While the quality of the young striker’s finishes was considerable, the manner in which the […]
