Cut Sensational Daniel Sturridge Some Slack

Imagine having a striker with a better goal record than Robbie Fowler. Once you’ve conjured up this image, just think for a second about having a centre-forward who could find the back of the net more reliably than Michael Owen or Fernando Torres. But Liverpool need not dream because they have a striker of the...

Liverpool and Sakho Prepare for UEFA’s Decision

Sidelined defender Mamadou Sakho is facing a nervous 24 hours after UEFA gave Liverpool notification on Friday that the central defender had tested positive for a banned substance after the Europa League fixture versus Manchester United on March 17th. A decision, by Europe’s governing body, is set to be announced on Tuesday (April 26th). Whilst the exact...

Moreno: Why Does He Split Opinion So Much?

After another significant bottle job by this very fragile Liverpool team against Newcastle United, there is definitely reasons to be concerned about our defence. Once again from leading 2-0 at half time, this side managed to surrender by the full-time whistle, and one player seemed to have a game of two halves. Alberto Moreno summed...

The Resurgence of Our Magician: Philippe Coutinho

Since Jurgen Klopp took over there seemed to be a raging debate about whether Philippe Coutinho would make the cut under our German manager. Did he have the energy and the enthusiasm to keep up with the dynamic style of play that our boss wanted to employ? We had all seen evidence of fantastic...

I Just Can’t Celebrate Everton’s Decline

Liverpool are magic, Everton are tragic, tra la la la, tra la la la… Those words rained down from the Kop last Wednesday as Everton limped to a humiliating defeat at the hands of Liverpool. Four – nil, could have been eight, should have been really. And yet as a Liverpool fan watching on, it was...

Observations from Liverpool’s disappointing draw with Newcastle

Rafa was back at Anfield and the jovial Liverpool crowd had lots to cheer about in the first half. Goals from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana saw the Reds go in at half-time two goals to the good. However, the Jekyll and Hyde performances in the Premier League continued as Liverpool once again ceded...

Liverpool 2 Newcastle United 2: Player Ratings

Liverpool threw away another 2 points. Liverpool had another goal keeping error. The winning momentum has been halted now as Liverpool get into their biggest game of the season. This is how the Reds fared. Simon Mignolet (5) - Had a first half very much similar to the second half against Everton with literally nothing to do....

The Everton Rivalry is Turning Sour

Football needs rivalry. It adds an extra element to occasion. Winning is incentive enough but bragging rights and pride being up for grabs just intensifies it. As a Liverpool fan whenever the fixtures are released at the start of the season I instinctively look for the matches against Manchester United and Everton. The feelings towards...

Is It Time To Talk Top Four, Again?

Boom. Boss, tha. Sehr Gut. Etc. That was alright, wasn’t it? A 4-0 win over the Ev, after a 4-3 win against Dortmund. It’s all glossed over a lovely Sunday afternoon kick around against Stoke, as we stuck yet another four goals past the Potters – a team Liverpool have struggled against ever since Tony...

Fan Media vs Mainstream Media – The Shaky Head Journalist

It's not often you get chance to compare football  with wrestling without it being a stretch but now feels appropriate. The mid 90's saw the emergence of World Championship Wrestling (WCW), a wrestling company intent on taking on the already established World Wrestling Federation (WWF now known as WWE). Ted Turner, founder of CNN,...
