Klopp on the rise: Skrtel hits a screamer and Coutinho makes rampant Liverpool tick as Reds put FOUR past Manchester City MANCHESTER CITY 1-4 LIVERPOOL -   Twenty minutes were left when Jurgen Klopp, the collar of his club track suit turned up against the cold, exploded with rage on the touchline. He leapt into the air as if he had been jolted by an electric current and began to scream and shout and wave his arms vigorously in the vague direction of Adam Lallana. Then he spied an empty water bottle and backheeled it towards the Liverpool bench. His team played as if they were energised by his fury, as if they, too, were electrified by his hunger. Sure, half the story of this game was that Manchester City were utterly shambolic in defence but the better half was that Liverpool were quite breathtakingly and beautifully brilliant.  Read More>>

When you look at what he has achieved during his career, his CV entitles him to be in the group of coaches just below Sir Alex Ferguson, Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho.  Read More>>

DR MAX THE MIND DOCTOR: you CAN have a happy marriage without sex  Statistical sex: The Canadian study found that those who made love more than once a week experienced no more happiness than those who didn't There's an old joke about a sex therapist who wants to discover how often people make love. He decides the best place to find a wide cross-section of respondents is at an airport. After quizzing various travellers, he spots some air crew striding across the concourse, and remembers that pilots are known for being lotharios. ‘When was the last time you made love?’ he asks an airline captain, who instantly replies: ‘1957.’ The therapist is astonished. ‘That’s rather a long time ago,’ he says. The pilot smiles. ‘Not really. It’s only 20.15 now.’ I thought of that old chestnut when I read about a new study claiming the key to marital happiness is having sex once a week: no more, no less.
