Set pieces are generally under utilised in the modern game. On numerous occasions recently you hear managers say their new £20 million target man can aid their team defensively but let's be honest, that's not why you're spending that money. Let's be honest, If you're spending £20/30 million on a striker you want him...
When it was first confirmed that Liverpool’s interest in Christian Benteke was not going to waver, the news was mostly met wih despair from Liverpool fans. He represented everything that they didn’t want from a new signing. A target man from a lower league team with an expensive buyout clause that everyone knew would...
Six points in six, Liverpool stand near the top of the table two fixtures into the new season. Admittedly, the level of competition has ranged from mid-table to newly-promoted for the Reds. The narrative of the campaign so far, however, is top teams struggling against weaker opposition. Arsenal can, of course, count themselves among...
We’re two games into the 2015-16 Premier League season and Liverpool have a 100% record, keeping two clean sheets in the process, yet there are still plenty who are intent on grumbling about something or other.
“Crap that, wasn’t it,” I overheard one Liverpool fan say as they left Anfield on Monday night. There were...
As a prelude to the upcoming Arsenal v Liverpool match at The Emirates on August 24, I thought I'd try and give us Reds fans a slightly different perspective on what is a big game for both clubs by speaking to Arsenal fan, Stephen Lewis. I've known Steve for around ten years and can...
Not many positives can be taken from last season if we're being honest. An unbeaten streak sandwiched between two below average runs is how you could describe our Premier League season. Two semi-final appearances in the domestic cups could be seen as a positive but the performance put in against Villa was underwhelming to...
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,...
Liverpool’s biggest coup of the transfer market this summer has arguably been the signing of Belgian beast Christian Benteke and the striker made his mark immediately, netting in the 1-0 home victory against Bournemouth at Anfield. Over the years the kop have witnessed some incredible front men so in light of Benteke’s opening strike,...
It's such a joy being a Liverpool fan right now. We are only two games into the season (with two squeaky, clean sheets and maximum points), and already I feel the desperate urge to deactivate my Twitter account, change my name to Bafetimbi and move to Antarctica. You could be forgiven for thinking we had been...
Liverpool weren't reliant on a wonder goal this week but yet again it was an underwhelming performance in which the Reds were the victors coming out with a 1-0 win against newly promoted Bournemouth.
It wasn't one for the neutrals to appreciate but Liverpool got the job done and now have six points from six....
