Does Henderson Have To Play No Matter What?

According to media reports prior to Monday night's match versus AFC Bournemouth, Jordan Henderson, had pain killing injections for days during the build up to the game due to a foot injury.  The coaching and medical staff clearly deemed it that Henderson, the club captain, was required for the match, even with an injury,...

Why Alberto Moreno Still Has a Future at Liverpool FC

Liverpool started their Premier League campaign with a solid but unspectacular display at Stoke. Three points in the bag, on we go. Bournemouth are up next. Despite a very lukewarm performance in general, Rodgers will be happy with the clean sheet that the defence just about managed to keep. One person who shone in particular...

Mario’s Red Nightmare

When Mario Balotelli signed for Liverpool last year, to say opinion was divided would be an understatement. Some thought it was disaster waiting to happen whilst others believed it would be Mario's time to shine. Loved by an adoring, famously loyal fan base, he would finally show the world his talent on a football...

One Brazilian In, Another One Out?

The season's begun and with it comes more changes. A host of players in and a host of players out. And there's Brazilian fever all around Liverpool. Liverpool's new signing, Roberto Firmino, has attracted excitement and hope whilst team-mate, Philippe Coutinho, continues to light up the Premier League. An opening goal for the 'little magician' and...

David Fairclough – Kop Hero | Heroes of our Past

There have been many great emotional European nights at Anfield. Even with the rise of the modern game Anfield stands apart from other grounds with it’s unrivalled passion. It’s not only an opinion shared by Liverpool supporters, it still remains a mythical citadel of football to most supporters, players and managers, regardless of their...

The Lallana Dilemma

Just about a year ago, Liverpool FC agreed yet another deal with Southampton for their captain Adam Lallana. Most Liverpool fans agreed that he was a good signing. Definitely not the world-class, big name category of player we had been craving since the departure of Luis Suarez, but it seemed he would be a player...

Liverpool Summer Holiday Series – Wunderbar Bundesliga!

As part of the AI Summer Holiday series, I've gone to the German Bundesliga to identify 3 players who I believe would improve the current Liverpool team. Benedikt Höwedes I initially thought it would be pointless identifying an upgrade on Martin Skrtel after he signed a new contract and appears to be the front runner to...

Jordan Henderson – Defensive Midfielder?

With the season just around the corner many fans have started naming their 'Dream XI' for the season ahead. Sometimes you'll see these though and think yeah that'd be boss on Football Manager or Fifa. This is real life though and you have to consider the tactics and the shape. In the last week...

Lovren’s Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Dejan Lovren is mentally weak. I don't like making assumptions or accusations like this, especially when they're towards people I don't personally know, but this is just something you can't ignore. All players want to be loved but Dejan Lovren seems like the sort that needs positive reinforcement to function. Less than one week after saying he...

The Five Contenders to Become Liverpool’s Vice-Captain

A short while ago, the club announced the inevitable and Jordan Henderson was officially unveiled as Liverpool Football Club's new captain. It was hardly a closely kept secret, but it was certainly music to the ears of Liverpool fans around the world. The turnaround from the central midfielder - from a onetime makeweight in a...
