Realism and fantasy are often blurred when casting judgement over a player that plays for your club. In a quixotic world Jordon Ibe would be a starter, he'd be single handedly winning games and we as fans would be laughing at the fact Manchester City paid £49 million for an inferior player. In the...
Football never fails to surprise me. Only five days ago the Reds put in a monumental team effort against Arsenal to pick up a well deserved point, with many thinking we were unlucky not to come away with more. Today we have been embarrassed at Anfield against a side who hadn't won here in...
Liverpool suffered a shocking home defeat against West Ham United, their first home loss of the season. Liverpool were severely lacking in all departments of the game and suffered a deserved loss.
Simon Mignolet - 5 Â When it comes, it comes by the truckloads. Mignolet conceded his first goals of the season as the defence...
It’s been three years and more now since I got the job. The weight of expectations from the company is heavy indeed. Upper management have been proven to be ruthless with the other departments so far, particularly with my counterparts back at Headquarters in Boston, the company’s home soil. Well, they did headhunt me...
The Europa League. It's a competition that splits opinion. Nothing new amongst the Liverpool fan base but belittling a European competition is a new one to me.
Many fans this season want Liverpool to concentrate on the Premier League and try to finish in the top 4. It's admirable, but is it realistic? Will Liverpool...
Seven not-so-pretty points in Liverpool’s first three matches is a promising start. The new signings are starting to gel with the rest of the team. Six new faces in the first XI and a new formation have created a different atmosphere at the beginning of this season, and the train of success doesn’t seem...
It may only be three matches into their Liverpool careers but things couldn't have started much better for Anfield new boys Nathaniel Clyne and Joe Gomez.
Three matches. Three clean sheets. Zero defensive errors leading to a shot by the opposition. This is quite a contrast to the team that ended last season conceding six goals...
All football clubs make decisions based on scouting, word of mouth etc, on players they believe can improve their football side now, or in the future where they look to unearth new gems, the next Messi, the next Zidane, you hear quite a bit from fans and the media, but in reality very small...
The trip to North London to face Arsenal provided Liverpool with a wonderful opportunity to make a bold statement of intent against a potential title rival that would make the rest of the Premier League sit up and take notice. Two wins from two against Stoke and Bournemouth may have been a start that...
His full debut finally arrived. After Brendan Rodgers had given us snippets of our new number 11 in the previous two league games we finally got to see Roberto Firmino unleashed from the start against Arsenal. I for one wasn't disappointed. He was only on the pitch for an hour but his impact and...
