Daniel Sturridge: Back from the Brink?
At the end of the 2017/18 season, Daniel Sturridge's departure seemed an inevitability. The club had considered selling him the summer before and during the first half of the campaign, they lost faith in his abilities, resulting in a January loan to West Bromwich Albion which sounded the death knell for his Liverpool career.
The club had set a fairly modest price tag, in this wacky market at least, of £15million, and but for Sturridge's lofty wage demands, he might …
2018-19 Premier League fixture reaction. The season we win it?
With the recent disappointment of the proposed Nabil Fekir signing falling through, Liverpool fans have been in need of a distraction to take their minds off the circus that the transfer window rumour mill. Not only is the World Cup due to begin today (hooray football is back!), but the 2018-19 Premier League fixture list has also been released. As a fan base, we have the tendency to dwell on frustrations of the past, so the 2018-19 fixture list is …
Liverpool's Encouraging Transfer Market Motions
The summer transfer window remains in its infancy but already there is cause for excitement as Liverpool look to wrap up their summer business in alarmingly swift fashion.
Jürgen Klopp wants his squad complete by the time it convenes for pre-season training at the beginning of July and if the club's present efforts to address their outstanding weaknesses prove successful, that squad might just be closed to the finished article.
No window is insignificant by any means but this one …
Liverpool 4 - 0 Arsenal: The Reds' Unstoppable Attack
Liverpool continued their unbeaten start to the Premier League season with an impressive 4-0 victory over Arsenal at Anfield on Sunday afternoon.
Jurgen Klopp made two changes to the side which beat Hoffenheim on Wednesday evening and secured a place in the Champions League group stages.
Simon Mignolet was mysteriously left out of the squad, while Loris Karius made his first start in goal since December 2016.
Trent Alexander-Arnold was also left out of the side as Joe Gomez and …
The Return of 'O Magico: Philippe Coutinho!
The magician, Philippe Coutinho, is back. His return to form could hardly have occurred at a more opportune time. With Mané, Henderson and Lallana injured, and the stakes as high as ever in the race for a Champions League position, Coutinho's renewed confidence feels as influential and important as a new signing.
Like all top players, he delivered when the pressure was on - the Merseyside Derby - a match which he seized and made his own. He dominated from the …
The Sakho Debate
Is there another player that divides opinion more than Mamadou Sakho? I know he isn’t in a red shirt at the moment, but this debate is starting to brew - therefore I thought I’d finally put it to bed.
To be honest, it’s starting to get a wee bit irrelevant. Whenever our defence struggles to keep or clean sheet or after we win/lose a game, the first thing I hear from Liverpool fans is ‘Sakho’. There have been subsets of supporters …
VIDEO: Nina Kauser Show - Cup Competitions Vs The League
The Nina Kauser show on YouTube is back! After my debut episode on Anfield Index TV last week I am back with another interesting question for my awesome Twitter followers! This time I asked:
You can watch the video above! There were some really interesting responses and I go through them as well as give my own take on the question. What would you do? Should Liverpool forgo the cup competitions and focus on the league? You can leave your point of view in the comments …
The Suarez Legacy
It seems both an age but also a short fleeting period since Suarez last donned the red of Liverpool. Yet almost three seasons after his departure, Liverpool look no better in their league position despite the reinvestment of the £63m they received for him. With Liverpool facing off against Suarez, and his fellow Barcelona teammates on Saturday, the question remains that after three seasons and heavy investment, why have Liverpool failed to replace Suarez?
It is easier to break this …
What is "Success" for Liverpool FC?
Back to the Future
As the dust settles on another domestic season we get an opportunity to assess where our great club is at, and the journey we can reasonably expect it to bring us on in the season to come. As discussed on the LFC Daytrippers pod last week, some fans are happy to just enjoy watching their team play an exciting brand of football. Any success achieved along the way is treated as a bonus. The big deal …
Liverpool's Next Season Syndrome
"Next season is our year."
"We'll be better next season."
"Just wait until after the summer."
"The push for Champions League is next year."
You've heard them all. I've heard them all. I've said most of them, or the like. Such is the life of a Liverpool Football Club supporter. Recently, always just within touching distance of what we want.
But that's not true. We haven't been in touching distance in years (with the exception of the exceptional in 2013/2014). …
