Daniel Sturridge; is he worth the wait?

Following the most recent setback in Daniel Sturridge's recovery plan, social media was flooded with angry Liverpool fans, fuming about the 'obscene wages we pay to a professional hospital patient', venting their obvious frustrations at both the club, for not pushing upwards in the league, and at Sturridge who suffered his tenth injury whilst...

Lallana and Milner: The End of Vanilla

If Saturday's game took-place in a coal mine, the canary would have exploded. Lallana and Milner's lack of goals and assists has seen them recently labelled "useless", "awful", "overrated" and "beige." They had become representative of the modern Liverpool: bland, boring and mid-table. From about as much promise as a tub of Wall's - this Vanilla-Pod-Duo could only manage so much...

Dissecting Liverpool’s Defending Against Norwich City

The dust has settled on what the scoreline suggests will be looked back upon as a Premier League classic. But, in truth, Liverpool's game against Norwich ended 5-4 only because of some horrible defending, especially from the visitors. As I will try to show by the end of this piece, none of the four goals...

One For The Future, Brad Smith

Who would have thought that four games into his Liverpool career, young Australian left-back Brad Smith would have two assists and a goal for Liverpool. After initially rejecting a new contract with Liverpool last year, Smith's Liverpool career has gone from strength to strength. He is one of the academy players who has been...

Klopp’s Infectious Passion is Gaining Liverpool Points

In an era where managers are supposed to be cool figureheads on the touchline, it's a welcome change to see Jurgen Klopp sticking two fingers up to what's expected and just letting his emotions rule his head. He's once again showing why he is 'The Normal One', because what did every Liverpool fan do...

Norwich 4 Liverpool FC 5: Player Ratings

I am finally sitting down to write to try and rate our players after that stupendously crazy game against Norwich City which oscillated more than a yo-yo would. This is how our beloved Reds did according to me *after I caught my breath back* Simon Mignolet - 5 A nervy afternoon for the keeper as...

No Value for money? The January transfer myth

Unicorns. Myth. Loch Ness Monster. Myth. Bigfoot. Myth. My girlfriend saying she'll only go in one shop. Myth. No value in the January transfer window. Myth. All are spoken about as though they're fact when in reality they're no more than myths. Of course you can find the odd bit of evidence to support these claims, "Sam remember that time...

Liverpool’s Benteke Problem

As many of you are aware (well those of you who follow me on Twitter) I'm not a big fan of Liverpool's Belgian forward Christian Benteke. But at the same time I'm also not a fan of supporters giving him abuse and grief just for the sake of it, jumping in on the bandwagon....

Alex Teixeira – Another Piece of the Brazilian Puzzle

Philippe Coutinho took the Premier League by storm when he first joined Liverpool FC from Inter Milan. Even at a time when the Reds weren’t short of stars, “The Magician” won over the Anfield crowd in stunning fashion with the archetypal Brazilian trickery and his unparalleled vision whilst passing. It took some time, but he...

Half & Half, Bad Tea, and Adam Lallana

I enjoy myself a morning cup of coffee. On the other side of the pond you might fancy yourself a nice cup of tea. Every morning I go through the same routine. Medium roast, slightly bold coffee, with a splash of milk creamer. It tastes good and gets my day going. I love a...
