With this seasons Champions League run now officially over, the Reds have a short break in which to recalibrate their stuttering form. Though the international break will take many of the players away from the club, it can still be a moment for the coaching team to really evaluate and establish a way of...
It’s all gone a bit quiet on the western front in regards to this one. With recent news suggesting that Julian Ward is now the front runner for the Sporting Director role at Ajax, we revisit our series on potential candidates for his role at Anfield. The latest name which has come from nowhere...
There’s more than a few reds who would happily just end the season this second if it was offered to them right now. Out of the Champions League at the last 16, suffering from an injury-plagued campaign and with the top four looking an outside hope rather than expectation. April starts with two tough...
When we look back on this horrible, instantly forgettable season in years to come, every Liverpool fan will have their own choice as the Reds' worst player.
There is a depressingly long list to choose from, from the past-their-best Fabinho and Jordan Henderson to the out-of-sorts Joel Matip and Joe Gomez, with only Alisson really...
What’s worse than an international break? An international break that’s overshadowed by a sense of crisis.

After a dismal day on the south coast where the top four became a major ask, Dave Davis walks through the Bournemouth game with Dr Phil Barter from the Under Pressure Pod to find a snippet of what the data told us and look where it went so wrong. We looked at the impact...
What an unbelievable crash back down to earth, after the historic 7-0 win against Manchester United, last Sunday.
