Liverpool 4-0 Barcelona - Now We Can Get Excited!
Liverpool trounced Barcelona, yes... the actual Barcelona, by four goals to nil at Wembley on Saturday evening, and it puzzles me as to why we're not all feeling giddy.
Yes, it's just pre-season, but come on? Four goals against Barcelona. Four goals past a defence protected by the best defensive midfielder in the world. No goals conceded to Luis Suarez and Lionel Messi.
So, why the doom and gloom? Simply, because it wasn't a competitive game. This pre-season malarkey means …

Observations from Liverpool's draw with Chelsea
Liverpool ended their Anfield season with a well-deserved point against Chelsea. It had an end of season "nobody can be arsed but we have to play it" feel mixed in with a "we've a Cup final in a week's time and there's no chance I'm risking an injury" mentality. It wasn't one for the neutrals.
Chelsea didn't help proceedings by rocking up with a game plan that Jose Mourinho would have thought up during his naked alone time. Stifle the …

Observations from Liverpool's loss to Villarreal
It was almost the perfect European away leg.
Jurgen Klopp sent his Reds out with a game plan and they were so close to executing it to full effect. It was a disciplined Liverpool side. It wasn't a boxing match like the Dortmund tie were both teams went at it blow for blow. This was more of a chess match. Each move carefully thought out. Whoever blinked first would lose.
Unfortunately for Liverpool about half of their team blinked simultaneously …

Observations from Liverpool's Destruction of Everton
Ridiculous, isn't it? This feel-good factor that Jurgen Klopp has managed to drum up around Liverpool seemed a million miles away at the beginning of the season. Another win. Another four goals. Another feather in the managers cap as he watched over his Reds side beat Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, Borussia Dortmund and now Everton in his debut season here. In those ten games, Liverpool have scored an emphatic twenty-three goals and conceded only nine. Klopp is bringing the fear …

The Day that Klopp built
What the F*ck was that?!
Not the most eloquent of headings, I know, but it's how I feel. I doubt I’m alone.
What happened at Anfield last night? It was fairytale stuff, with the Hollywood finish. It was the kind of scenario I would have joked about with friends before the game. Needing to win 4-3, being two down at half-time, and bagging the winner in injury time.
Fantastically, ridiculously, brilliantly, amazing.
A Night to Remember
Yesterday (Thursday) - the …

Observations from the bottle job against Southampton
Liverpool's first loss inside of 90 minutes since the start of February was hard to swallow. It's hard to really put into words how disappointing that second half performance was after such an impressive first half.
The second half was shit. A big pile of steaming shit with a Martin Skrtel on top.
For Liverpool fans it must've felt like déjà vu when Philippe Coutinho curled the ball home from 20 plus yards for the second consecutive season at St …

Liverpool In Control At Anfield
Daniel Sturridge and Roberto Firmino were the heroes against Manchester United as their goals in either half helped Liverpool to a two nil lead in the first leg of their Europa League clash at Anfield. Manchester United had goalkeeper David De Gea to thank as he pulled off world class save after save to deny Liverpool.
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp made three changes to the team that beat Crystal Palace last weekend with Nataniel Clyne, Phillipe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge …

Liverpool Edge Past Crystal Palace
Christian Benteke came off the bench yesterday and proved to be Liverpool's hero after he converted a last minute penalty to give Liverpool all three points at Selhurst Park.
Liverpool played their third game in a week on Sunday against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park. With Palace being somewhat of a bogey team for Liverpool of late, when Joe Ledley put his team one nil up after forty-eight minutes, Liverpool fans feared the worst, especially when after sixty-two minutes James …

Manchester City Hammered by Rampant Reds
Liverpool avenged last Sunday's defeat to Manchester City in the Capital One Cup final by beating the Citizens three nil at Anfield thanks to goals from Adam Lallana, James Milner and Roberto Firmino.
Wow, just wow. What a performance that was against Manchester City. For me personally it was possibly Liverpool's most complete performance of the season to date. It eclipses the earlier wins against City at the Etihad and againat Chelsea. This win leaves Liverpool six points off the …

Liverpool vs Augsburg: Europa League Preview
As the Capital One Cup final nears, Liverpool have got one more game before they make their trip to Wembley, and it's something of a final itself. Tied at 0-0 following a fairly drab first leg in Germany, the Reds must complete the job at home to progress to the Europa League Last 16.
If last Thursday's first leg was the biggest match in the Bavarian club's history, this week's game might just leapfrog that achievement, as they head to …
