Dalglish Out!
I honestly don’t know this club anymore. I’d better get used to that fact.Look, we’re all aware this season’s results were horrendous. The denizens of the Andromeda Galaxy are aware of that. The fact remains it was one season, the season after Hicks an…
Results Comparison 2011-12 (and bonus graphic)

Liverpool 0-1 Swansea
Goals:Graham 86′What an appropriate end to the season. As the Premier League explodes everywhere else, Liverpool fumbled aimlessly and purposelessly before unnecessarily conceding late on. The longest nine months in memory gave birth to this. Glimpses …

Painting the Woodwork
As many have noted since yesterday, Downing’s two strikes against the woodwork bring Liverpool’s league total to 33 for the season, a seemingly egregiously large number. Rubbing salt in the wounds, after the 0-1 loss to West Brom, Opta Joe noted that L…
Liverpool 4-1 Chelsea
Goals:Essien OG 19′Henderson 25′Agger 28′Ramires 50′Shelvey 61′Well that was strange. And even though that 90 minutes was approximately the exact opposite of what we’ve become used to at Anfield, “strange” is entirely expected after this marathon campa…

Liverpool 1-2 Chelsea
Goals:Ramires 11′Drogba 53′Carroll 65′So close, yet so far. The Liverpool of old threatened to reappear, but fell just short of another fabled cup final comeback. By millimeters, and “aided” by the woodwork. Just not good enough to make up for self-inf…

Liverpool 0-1 Fulham

Better Performance, Worse Results
Saturday’s match was pretty much all the proof we need. It really is all about finishing.Liverpool have played “better” than they did against Norwich in numerous matches. And it’s usually, somehow, led to worse results. Suarez tallied three world-class…
Liverpool 3-0 Norwich
Goals:Suarez 24′ 28′ 82′You mean the difference in result is down to the difference in Liverpool’s finishing? Amazing.It’s been far too long since Luis Suarez reminded us just what genius he’s capable of. Bomb-throwing, mustache-twirling, evil super-vi…
