You can’t win ‘em all unless you win the first one. Tomorrow promises to be a very good football match. It’s unfortunate that the football match may somewhat overshadowed by the political narrative that surrounds it. Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich is a very close ally of Russian dictator Vladimir Putin. Abramovich was the first person to recommend to Boris Yeltsin …

The Reds are on the march. They smell blood, and they smell trophies. We know this team are capable of winning 17 in a row. They have done that. We know they can win 24 out of 25 league matches. They have done that. They are at their best when believing that their backs are against the walls. They are …
The next version of the biggest match of the year. With the team in good form and fitness (despite finally picking up an injury in the form of a sprained ankle for Diogo Jota), the momentum leads to more optimism from me that the Premier League title race is not quite over. Sure, we need to be just about perfect …
The Champions League is upon us once again! I watched Inter some today. They press. They like to have the ball and work hard to get it back. When pressed themselves, they try to play out from the back (I hope they stick with that one). Inter are the defending Serie A champs, and currently sit in second place, only …
I have always stood firmly on the “full support” side of the Naby Keïta dividing line among LFC supporters. The guy’s had a really bad injury history, but when he’s been on the pitch he’s been really exciting. And, not only does his playing style delight my eyes, but Naby has consistently outperformed his LFC midfield teammates in virtually all …
This one feels tricky. The Reds are on the march and on a high. They have a fully fit squad for the first time in my memory. They are alive in all competitions. The Africans are back. New signing Luis Díaz appears to be a perfect fit with the team both tactically and off the pitch. Every match at the …
Jürgen Klopp hammers the message into his troops that the NEXT game is the most important of the season. For probably the only time since I’ve started watching Liverpool, that message actually feels close to accurate from the big-picture perspective of an LFC fan. The Reds are still competing on four fronts, and they are hungry for trophies. For the …
The biggest news around the club involves personnel, and it’s all good: Harvey Elliott is BACK. Klopp has all but indicated that Harvey will start this match. Thiago is BACK from his hip injury, although he did have a chest infection and missed at least one day of training this week. I doubt that he will start Sunday, but it wouldn’t …
