The new Premier League season is finally upon us, and after last season’s changes, the transfer window slamming shut comes with it. Liverpool were the biggest spenders in England this summer, and fans and pundits alike are touting Klopp’s men for a big season. But just how good was their transfer window? In: Following the […]
Sometime after 4.15pm yesterday, a collection of mumbles, conversations and downright vitriol ran around the away section at Wembley. ‘He’s got to take him off.’ ‘We’re going to get battered here. Fuck’s sake, Jurgen.’ ‘Get that useless twat off now!’ Later on some people speculated that Dejan Lovren’s was the worst performance ever given by […]
Heading into the summer transfer window, it has been well documented that as a club, we have some areas in which we are particularly sparse in terms of playing staff – left-back and centre forward spring immediately to my mind.

First choice Liverpool ‘keeper misses a game and his understudy fails to perform in his absence. Strong sense of Deja vu here isn’t there? December 2014, Brendan Rodgers “indefinitely” drops Simon Mignolet after a string of errors and is replaced by Brad Jones. The Australian comes into the side and aids United as they defeat […]
Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino, Danny Ings, James Milner, Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Bogdan, Joe Gomez and the returning Divock Origi have all been added to the squad this summer in quick time. Great credit must go to the club for quickly bringing in their chosen targets. Whilst many will debate on whether these signings represent good […]
Evolution is inevitable. In football and in everyday life you change to adapt. So what’s the difference between transition as a club and evolving? Why are some teams praised for adapting whilst others use being in transition as an excuse? Since Brendan Rodgers took the helm of Liverpool FC it feels like ‘Liverpool are in […]
Pre-season is often a time of excitement for football fans. The constant stream of transfer news and activity has grown tiresome for many supporters, but pre-season matches often prove to be very exciting just for the sake of seeing a glimpse of your new signings.
