Liverpool 3 Manc Utd 1 – as one-sided as it gets.

Posted on December 17, 2018 by jgrady12345

OK – let’s get the criticism out of the way first. An horrendous error by Alisson allowed the Mancs to believe they could actually get a point. It took two deflected goals by a substitute to win the game. Liverpool’s … Continue reading →

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 →

Bournemouth 0 Liverpool 4 – Top of the League !!

Posted on December 9, 2018 by jgrady12345

A fine win for Liverpool against an unusually tepid Bournemouth outfit put Liverpool top of the league at lunchtime today. A situation described by all the commentators as “temporary”. Not “potentially temporary” but “temporary”. Despite the morally unacceptable position of … 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 →

Liverpool v Fulham, Chelsea v Everton, and the Manc derby.

Posted on November 14, 2018 by jgrady12345

With the weather foul outdoors here on the South Coast, there was only one place to be, and that in front of the TV, in the warm, watching the bright sunshine on Merseyside. As the rain tipped down here in … Continue reading →

VAR, TMO and DRS

Posted on November 11, 2018 by jgrady12345

  An argument rages within football about the (potential) use of video technology to review crucial decisions. In general, pundits seem to be in favour. Gary Lineker, for example, seems to think it’s the answer to every ‘wrong’ refereeing decision. … 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 →

Palace 0 Liverpool 2 -as tough as they come.

Posted on August 22, 2018 by jgrady12345

Just like last weekend, the pressure was piled on Liverpool, playing ‘catch-up’ after Manchester City (and others) secured straightforward wins to make it two out of two. This wasn’t exactly the greatest performance you’ll ever see, but it was efficient, … Continue reading →

A new season – everyone optimistic?

Posted on August 15, 2018 by jgrady12345

A season following a World Cup can always be a bit strange at the start, as physically and mentally weary players return to their clubs with a long hard season ahead. This time, though, the Top 5 won, some more … Continue reading →

Porto 0 Liverpool 5 – as easy as it gets in Champions League

Posted on February 15, 2018 by jgrady12345

It’s been a while since I wrote a blog – just got out of the habit, I guess, but a lot has happened since my last post. Van Dijk has arrived for £75m, Coutinho has gone for nearly twice that. … Continue reading →
