You rest your best against anybody but Everton

Here we are again, at the point where there is genuinely something to lose. When “at least they didn’t get beat” doesn’t cut it any more. Not against ‘them’ anyway…

Getting into the Champions League knockout was however easier than a tediously morose glum-bucket like me expected.

Maybe Spartak (and Maribor) weren’t the best sides but any large Liverpool win automatically becomes about worthless opposition.
