Jordon Ibe
Every time Liverpool step on to the pitch I always try and learn something. For instance some of the things I learned under Brendan Rodgers were, I learned that he didn’t have a clue about managing a team who didn’t have a twenty goal a season striker playing for him or what a defence was. […]
On Saturday, Jürgen Klopp’s blitzkrieg offence claimed its latest high-profile away victim in Manchester City. After battering an already-broken Chelsea 3-1 a few weeks back, Liverpool could approach the far more difficult proposition of an Etihad away day with renewed hope, a hope that was certainly not misplaced. By the end of the game, City’s defence […]
Jordan Henderson’s impending return has been greeted with open arms by a large part of the Liverpool fan base. The captain has been missing since the 1-0 victory against Bournemouth way back in the second match of the season and during his extended absence his importance to the team has grown by the week. Absence […]
When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things. Joe Namath  Liverpool’s victory against Bournemouth in the Capital one cup was the turning point for one of England’s brightest stars Jordon Ibe. Not every turning point requires two assists and a hat trick. […]
At the start of the season I thought I’d do a weekly tactical piece on the previous game. Primarily looking at the attack and how Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino were bedding in with their new teammates. The United game was horrific to watch and although I tried I couldn’t really find anything tactically to […]
Liverpool travel to Bordeaux this Thursday on the back of one of the most uninspiring derby defeats in recent memory. Brendan Rodgers’ men will be looking to add some spark to what has been a flat start to the season, but wily Willy Sagnol’s side will be looking to pile further misery onto The Reds […]
Clubs like Livepool, Man Utd or Barcelona have their own ‘way’, by which their club is meant to operate. These clubs have principles that define them; their identity empowers its players and managers to play a certain way, it strikes fear into visiting clubs, and it inspires jealousy in rival fans. Bill Shankly embodied the […]
Realism and fantasy are often blurred when casting judgement over a player that plays for your club. In a quixotic world Jordon Ibe would be a starter, he’d be single handedly winning games and we as fans would be laughing at the fact Manchester City paid £49 million for an inferior player. In the realistic […]
Why have a Ferrari, a Porsche and a Lamborghini if you’re just going to lock them away, rarely use them yet continuously talk about having them. “Yeah, look at the videos of how quick they can go. Imagine how good it’ll be when I finally use them, right?!” Is this scenario not what happens when […]
Last season, full-back proved to be a problem position for Liverpool, but in Nathaniel Clyne and Alberto Moreno there is reason to be quietly optimistic about having two quality players in place for the foreseeable future. The list of players to fill in on either side of the defence in 2014-15 was seemingly endless. Aside […]
