Liverpool 1 Napoli 0 – Qualified !

Posted on December 12, 2018 by jgrady12345

€12.2m is the amount of basic price money Liverpool will receive for winning a Champions League group game, plus qualifying for the Champions League last 16. That’s without their share of “performance-related” bonuses, additional share of TV money etc. That … Continue reading →

PSG, Everton & Burnley – poor form, but….

Posted on December 6, 2018 by jgrady12345

Liverpool have three very different games that I meant to blog about, but, well, you know, time goes by etc. etc. Firstly, Paris St. Germain. Liverpool have improved dramatically defensively, but in Europe, they seem to be somewhat naive and … Continue reading →

Red Star Belgrade 2 Liverpool 0 – poor performance.

Posted on November 6, 2018 by jgrady12345

Everybody has been telling us that Liverpool are going to seriously challenge Manchester City for the title this season, and, after a decent start to the season, it was believable. But, whilst the wheels have hardly come off (yet) this … Continue reading →

Review of the Season 2016/17

Posted on May 22, 2017 by jgrady12345

So, this Premier League season was never going to live up the fairytale of last season, but it’s been pretty interesting nevertheless, without being a classic. After Leicester taking advantage of the rest falling over themselves to not catch them, … Continue reading →

Liverpool 1 Sevilla 3 – Europa League disaster

Posted on May 19, 2016 by jgrady12345

Given some time to reflect, I guess this game sums up Liverpool’s season, and the strength and weaknesses of the current squad. The brilliance of Sturridge, but under-utilised. The inconsistency of Coutinho and Firmino. The workmanlike, but lacking true quality, … Continue reading →

Liverpool 3 Villareal 0 – another great European night at Anfield

Posted on May 6, 2016 by jgrady12345

So, the four European finalists this season are three Spanish teams and Liverpool. Tonight, Villareal were overcome much more easily than expected, to stop the Spanish clean sweep in European competitions. I said in the first leg that Liverpool could … Continue reading →

Villareal 1 Liverpool 0 – an opprtunity missed?

Posted on April 29, 2016 by jgrady12345

As European semi-finals go, they don’t come much tamer. Quite frankly, from the moment Joe Allen shot straight at the keeper in the first five minutes, it was fairly obvious that Liverpool should have won this game, and have one … Continue reading →

Unbelievable Liverpool 4 Borussia Dortmund 3 (aggregate 5-4)

Posted on April 15, 2016 by jgrady12345

When I write these posts, they tend to be immediately after a game, if Liverpool have won, or some time after reflecting, if Liverpool have lost. The feeling of euphoria after last night’s game though meant that I would hardly … Continue reading →

Liverpool 1 Augsburg 0 – Did it really have to be this difficult?

Posted on February 26, 2016 by jgrady12345

So let’s be positive. Liverpool are through to the Europa League last 16. Liverpool have kept their third clean sheet in a row. James Milner is a decent penalty taker. There appear to be no injuries that might affect selection … Continue reading →

Sion 0 Liverpool 0 – a total bore draw

Posted on December 11, 2015 by jgrady12345

I’ve always subscribed to the theory that professional footballers ought to be able to perform on pretty much any surface, and anything other than that are just excuses. Tonight’s game took place on a pitch that was completely frozen on … Continue reading →
