Lessons Learned: Wolves
It’s all getting a bit too familiar now isn’t it? Liverpool again shipped three goals away from home in the league to continue a dismal 2023 so far. There was an element of hope going into this one having beaten Wolves at Molinuex in the FA Cup replay, but that proved to be short-lived. By the 15th minute, only the most optimistic reds believed we were going to get anything from the game. We take a look at lessons learned …

Alisson Becker - 6.0
It’s always a relief when this man is in between the sticks, but even his form has dropped off, of late. So horribly let down by his defensive group, with little chance on the first half goals. He seemed unsure for the third goal, but this isn’t any of his doing. Couple of good saves kept the reds hopes faintly alive at 2-0.

Tony Evans: No Government Should Be Able To Buy Liverpool FC - Not China, Qatar or the USA
It comes around about once every decade. The Scouse vs. Wool, Local vs. Out-Of-Towner debate is a Liverpool staple. This time it’s got a new twist. The suggestion that the club could be bought by Qataris has added an extra wrinkle.
You’re racist if you object to despots.
Tuesday marked the fifteenth anniversary of the formation of Spirit of Shankly as a response to the ownership crisis caused by George Gillett and Tom Hicks. They are still fighting the good …
FSG Out - The Rise & Fall of our Controversial Owners
For the entirety of January, I was convinced my football club would recruit that midfielder which was desperately needed. My misguided faith in our owners (doing the right thing) has left me saddened, as I wanted to remember them for all the good they have done for this historical club. It can never be denied how they were able to modernise, restructure, grow, and bring this franchise to the very peak of modern-day football. Their success was built upon smart …
Wolves v Liverpool - The PL Preview
In a period where we only ever seem to play Brighton or Wolves, we are once again tasked with bouncing back from a disappointing result. Despite knocking Wolves out of the FA Cup a few weeks back, the Reds were unable to progress past the Seagulls in the very next round. This weekend’s game represents a time when all domestic cup ventures are now behind both parties, with only a single-minded desire to climb the Premier League table remaining.

Thiago a shining light and continued key man for Liverpool
Even when Liverpool are producing one of their ugliest and most disappointing seasons in recent memory, Thiago still manages to be beautiful.
In a campaign littered with both team and individual deficiencies, the Spaniard continues to shine and do his best to alter the Reds' fortunes.
There are some who may lazily look at Thiago and claim that he is part of the problem, just as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson now undoubtedly are, but this couldn't be further from the …
FSG: Tensions Reach an All-Time High
The January Transfer Window has officially slammed shut. In a painful conclusion, every one of Liverpool’s main rivals completed business before the death whereas it was clear a while ago that no-one would be heading through the doors at the AXA. Anger, frustration and bewilderment will be some of the emotions felt and expressed by many Reds and it’s understandable. As much as Liverpool need to improve on the field, it’s hard to believe that attention won’t be diverted towards …
Klopp is taking risks with Bellingham obsession
The transfer window has closed and Liverpool have not addressed their biggest need.
The Reds entered this season very obviously short of quality in midfield and with significant question marks hanging over each of the existing midfielders.
Thiago Alcantara is an incredible footballer but he is 31, soon to be 32, years of age and for the majority of his career has had injury problems.
Fabinho struggled toward the end of last season and has also had injury problems but …
Why Fabinho Should Be the Short and Long Term Centre Back Option
With the demoralising news of Ibrahima Konaté now being side-lined for a few weeks, it leaves Jürgen Klopp with a real decision to make. We already know that Virgil will be missing for most of February, therefore that leaves a centre half group comprising Joël Matip, Joe Gomez, Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams. With so much uncertainty within the rest of the team, it surely makes a recent midfield omission a prominent avenue by which to explore.
In the 2020/21 …
Is This the End for Jordan Henderson?
During the Jürgen Klopp era at Liverpool Football Club, the fanbase has been able to explore a wide range of emotions. The outset saw the club relieved and optimistic about what would follow the charismatic German through the door. The middle brought an unbelievable amount of success and silverware, that had been lacking for too long. This current period now may mark the end of what has been a glorious spell, and with it take a player that has held …
