Imagine not being able to love both Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso at the same time. Or Sami Hyypia and Jamie Carragher. That would be mad, wouldn't it? Bizarrely, however, this is the position we find ourselves in with Liverpool’s current midfield generals Georginio Wijnaldum and Emre Can - two brilliant but hugely contrasting...
“I am a Liverpool player and what the manager asks me to do I will do. Ultimately, if he thinks that is the best thing for the team then I will do it.” James Milner, August, 2016.
There it is. The quote that, for me, cements the fact that what we have in our experienced,...
When Georginio Wijnaldum signed for a fee of £25 million, many saw him to be another attacking midfielder within the side, raising questions about what he could bring to the table given the current array of talent already at Klopp’s disposal.
During his Newcastle days, Wijnaldum’s form was hugely inconsistent. Dipping in and out of...
How good is it being a Liverpool fan right now?
Klopp's men sit second in the league after the dramatic late win in the derby. We're the top scorers in the Premier League with 41 goals but what's even more impressive is how we have continued to impress despite some noticeable absentees. Daniel Sturridge, Joel Matip, Emre...
Whenever a club signs Dejan Lovren a free instruction manual should be provided on what to do and what not to do to get the best out of him. Similar, in many ways, to the guidelines set out if you were to have a Gremlin, I suppose.
Instead of the "don't feed them after midnight" spiel...
Adam Lallana... *scratches head*
I'm not going as far to say anybody claiming to have foreseen his evolution from a tepid attacking midfielder to this 2.0 version that Jurgen Klopp has definitely concocted in a lab a liar but I'm not not saying that either.
It's been a turnaround of epic proportions for a player who was...
Currently considered to be one of European football's premier playmakers, the Seleção's Philippe Coutinho Correia has evolved into everything Liverpool had hoped for when they acquired him from Italian giants Internazionale nearly three years ago.
Known around Merseyside as "The Little Magician," Liverpool's modest number ten has been a breath of fresh air since swapping the black...
Nobody really grows up dreaming of being a right-back, do they? It is, quite possibly, the least glamorous position in football.
The likes Carlos Alberto, Cafu, Philipp Lahm and Dani Alves have done their utmost to make it fashionable, but it has invariably been a role that goes relatively unnoticed, in comparison to goalkeeper, centre-back,...
When Jürgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool, much was made over whether Daniel Sturridge - the Reds' star man - would suit the German's high-intensity pressing style of football. Comparisons were made between Sturridge's inability to fit into the style of play, and Christian Benteke's. Then came Southampton away. Southampton 1-6 Liverpool, eight weeks into Klopp's tenure.
"Now...
Happy Klopp anniversary everyone!
Ok, I'm a little late. Sorry. Nonetheless, during these lengthy and joyous annual celebrations of Anfield life under Klopp, I’ve decided to take a look at our captain, Jordan Henderson, and what’s changed for the skipper under his manager. As he hardly played under Rodgers last season due to injury, it’s...
