The game against Lille will, no doubt, be perceived as yet another vital, must-win game, but with the game against Man Utd coming up 2 days later (and who do we need to thank for that act of scheduling genius), what will Rafa’s approach be ?
In some ways, the perfect game: at home, and very winnable indeed. The bad news is that the opposition have absolutely nothing left to lose, and they can just go out and enjoy the game; and the crowd will grow impatient quickly if the Reds aren’t leading early on.
As The Tomkins Times continues to grow, I am looking to instal some plush leather sofas for subscribers. Or something.
If you do not have your facts straight, you don’t have an opinion; you just have hot air. An opinion without the facts is like a pop song without the words and music. Sometimes it’s better to say nothing than offer an opinion; no opinion is better than a wrong one. But in modern media life, an opinion on everything is a must.
Below are the results of the Relative Transfer System (©) I devised for Dynasty. The idea was to take all transfers as a % of the British record of the day, so that I could compare the spending of all eight Liverpool managers since 1959.
The most interesting thing for me when doing my Liverpool team of the decade was just how much of it could have belonged to last year’s almost-title-winning squad. In the end, however, in several cases I plumped for alternatives who were every bit as good, but who delivered more throughout the decade.
With the book now sold out, I’ve made it available to all subscribers to The Tomkins Times.
What the Reds badly need is a home win to bring back a sense of optimism around the stadium, and rid the feeling of “here we go again…”.
