The Juventus striker has never exactly been a readers' favourite since she started her weekly column a few months ago. But this week she has particularly riled quite a few fans, with her, admittedly, rather naïve take on the title race. Then again, they are Guardian readers ha ha.
Not sure what she means by 'rock and roll' football - helter-skelter? up and down rollercoaster? Hardly. They've been solid and consistent this season; they wouldn't be where they are now if not. Hardly rock and roll. As for now or never, is she saying that Liverpool will never win the league if they don't win it in May? I don't understand, and neither, it seems, do the many readers who have responded negatively to her and her column. But it's that last highlighted few words that tell me Aluko is not to be taken seriously as a columnist. Good for a laugh, though.
"If Liverpool finish second, the effect will be psychologically devastating" with readers' comments.
Perhaps her article went to press before she could read, and, if psychologically capable, absorb Jurgen Klopp's comments today which makes a complete mockery of her column inches :
For Liverpool, it would be richly deserved for the winning rock-and-roll brand of football performed under Jürgen Klopp but I just wonder whether it’s now or never for them, with City looking so strong and Tottenham likely to challenge as well next season. It would be absolutely devastating for Klopp’s side to get almost 100 points and still not win the title – maybe in that situation it would be easier to swallow to finish second by 20 points!

“We don’t have to reset the situation, or summarise the season. If we do it we will do it. If we don’t do it there are no regrets as long as we give it our best, and I saw that all season from the boys. Whatever we end up, it is only the first step. We are not finished. We started this year with this team and we will carry on.”
