It’s Gonna Be Close Liverpool and Chelsea. We’ve seen it all before, and we know one thing — it’s gonna be close. Three times already this season, these two heavyweights have faced up. Three times they have finished 90 minutes with the scoreline even. These two teams are two of the top five teams in the world (or at least …
This weekend City showed their resilience. Now Liverpool Football Club will need to do the same. All of us suffered a gut punch on Saturday, and that certainly includes the players and manager. After the disappointing draw against Spurs, LFC’s hopes of a 20th league title have gone from hopeful to slim. But slim is not none, and the Reds need …
The next in line of Liverpool Football Club’s longest-ever string of “biggest games of the season.” Or maybe not. In 2018-19, the Reds walked a similar tightrope for the last several months of the season, albeit in fewer competitions. But this time, because there are more competitions, there have been more opportunities to slip. More opportunities to fail. So far, …
This is Liverpool Football Club’s biggest game of the season. Again. We start at nil to 2. Almost safe. I believe that if the Reds had managed to parlay their dominance at Anfield into a third goal, we would see a lot of reserves starting this one. But nil to two is quite different from nil to three. Even at nil …
This is the most important match of the season. Last time out against Newcastle, I mocked Eddie Howe a bit. Truth is, I’ve never thought he was a bad manager, in general. He’s just a bad manager if you want to take a weak or mediocre Premier League team and play against Liverpool. Because Eddie Howe wants his team to …
Tomorrow’s match is the most important match of the season. Villarreal. Be careful what you ask for. Both the quarterfinals draw and the actual quarterfinals turned out exactly as LFC supporters would have hoped. First, we drew Benfica, the weakest team remaining. Then, shockingly, the next-weakest team (on paper), Villarreal, somehow scraped an upset over the mighty Bayern Munich. Bayern, …
The Blues/Toffees/Bitters are struggling. They still sit on the edge of potential relegation, in 17th place, and just one point above Burnley. They have 29 points from 31 games. Worse yet is their record away from home, where they have won 1, drawn 3, and lost 11 (6 points from 15 matches). The clichė tells us the form book is …
Fuck the fucking fuckers. For the more than two decades, Liverpool fans tried to comfort themselves with fading memories of past glory, while United fans cavorted in the sun. During most of those two decades, when this fixture approached, LFC supporters could only hang onto the schadenfreudic hope that our club could spoil United’s current run toward another title. And, …
“What do we say to the God of Death? … Not today.” Last week, Manchester City pushed Liverpool to the brink of [highly-probable] elimination in the Premier League. The Reds pushed back. They then followed that up with a highly-imperfect, yet highly-entertaining cavort at Anfield in a true elimination bout — a second-leg Champions League quarterfinal. Our Reds are still …
I don’t know about you, but I still haven’t quite caught my breath after Sunday’s match, and here comes another one. Imagine what it’s like actually be playing in these things. With a two-goal lead and the game at Anfield, LFC should feel quite comfortable about tomorrow. According to fivethirtyeight.com, LFC have a greater than 99% chance of advancing to …
