The Jürgen Klopp International Break of epic proportions. It was all going so well. Undefeated for a start, aced his opening press conference, hates the paparazzi and spends too much time in city centre restaurants and bars. Then the news started filtering through about Danny Ings’ knee injury, compounded by the news on Wednesday evening […]
Back in 2013, Jürgen Klopp’s Borussia Dortmund made it all the way to the Champions League final at Wembley. For many this was the season which defined him. The increased visibility offered by their impressive run in the world’s most coveted football competition, made people sit up and take note of the man, his team, […]
I’ll start-off slow. Over the last few decades there’s been a sense that we should aim to repeat the past. We tried. And, in 2013/14, we came close: but this was never a realistic ambition. The club placed itself under the self-inflicted tyranny of “the weight of the shirt” – a philosophy Brendan Rodgers was […]
The Jugen Klopp shadow has been cast over Anfield since the 2014/15 season ended. The German left Dortmund having taken them from midtable mediocrity to one of the most efficient and exciting teams to watch within two seasons of taking charge. He toppled the might of Bayern Munich. He cast aside the lingering Bayer Leverkusen […]
It’s been far too long. 365 days make up a full year, yet it feels like it’s a lot longer when it comes to football. It felt like forever since I’ve started watching football, learning the game from all aspects whilst sitting on the floor beside my dad as we watch the game on weekend […]
Ah the “Friendly Derby”, one of the great derbies in English football. This is a spectacle that divides households, particularly for fans in Merseyside, who happen to follow one or the other side. This match however somewhat failed lived up to that hype. Anger, passion, goals, top class saves and Mama Sakho all added to […]
It all went a bit sour in the last 12 months of Brendan Rodgers’ reign. Turgid football, plenty of excuses and pathetic digs about a bloke whitening his teeth and getting a tan. But it wasn’t always like that. Once upon a time, we were all on a rollercoaster which kept on going up and […]
Derby day is around the corner. The time of the season when the city of Liverpool unites in an amalgamation of red and blue. Little red children walk hand in hand with little blue children. The elderly Toffee fan gazes longingly into the eyes of the of the recently retired Liverbird wondering if she would […]
Forced jollity is invariably a terrible thing to be part of. When your heart is not in it, it’s enormously difficult to actively enjoy anything. For much of this week, I’ve felt like one of the kids on the school bus hijacked by the Scorpio Killer in Dirty Harry. In an attempt to create a […]
Liverpool have had a few prolific partnerships in their history, a few spring to mind instantly with very little thought. John Toshack and Kevin Keegan, Ian Rush and Kenny Dalglish, Robbie Fowler and Michael Owen, Emile Heskey and Michael Owen, Fernando Torres and Steven Gerrard and of course Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. Some were […]
