So, Who Have We Got?
Joel Matip’s profile makes positive reading for Liverpool fans.  His demeanour reminds me of Lucas Leiva, a smile never too far from the surface.  But we should not let that fool us.  Matip is by no means a soft touch on the pitch.  He puts his body on the line...
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...
There cannot be too many better feelings than the one after Liverpool have just beaten Everton. Tonight, it was not just a win. It was a sound thrashing of an abject opposition as the Reds were rampant in taking home the bragging rights from the derby and some more.
Here is how I thought each...
Don't be alarmed but Daniel Sturridge has a cult following. These people are next level groupies. They wear Daniel Sturridge shaped rose tinted glasses and sleep in homemade Daniel Sturridge dancing man silhouette pyjamas. It's not reached Jonestown levels yet but it can't be far off.
A few weeks ago I naively posted on Twitter...
Liverpool welcome Everton to Anfield on Wednesday night with Jurgen Klopp set for his first taste of the Merseyside Derby since taking over the reigns following Brendan Rodgers’ departure in October, with his last game a 1-1 draw with Wednesday’s opponents.
Liverpool currently lie in 9th place with 38 points from 26 games, putting them 3...
Like most football rivalries, the Merseyside derby is steeped in history.
I don’t mean that contretemps in 1892 when chairman John Houlding thumbed his nose at the Everton board and told them that he’d had enough of high rents and was off to set up his own club called, yes, ‘Everton FC and Athletic Grounds...
On the eve of a Merseyside derby, the manager is under increasing pressure from the supporters over results and performances on the pitch. Back in October, that statement concerned the then Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers, now the same can be said for Everton manager Roberto Martinez. How times have changed.
It’s almost four years since...
This is what I was expecting to write, after Thursday's exhilarating performance.
When Liverpool crashed out of the Europa League on Thursday, the backlash on social media was bitter and full of vitriol. Whilst losing hurts, especially in the last competition Liverpool had an opportunity of winning this season, sometimes you have to accept you...
Divock Origi was one of those players that Liverpool bought but didn't really know what we were getting. Brendan Rodgers and the committee saw a player that certainly had potential and was flourishing in the 2014 World Cup. So they splashed the cash and loaned him back to Lille to continue his development. By the...
A day that started with a poignant tribute to the ninety-six from AFC Bournemouth, ended in joy for Liverpool as a hugely changed squad came out 2-1 winners on the south coast. Goals from Roberto Firmino and Daniel Sturridge put the Reds in cruise control, but Joshua King's late goal ensured a jittery final...
