Why Liverpool Need to Keep Dejan Lovren Next Season

Dejan Lovren started the season as one of the most maligned players and in the eyes of the fans, the fifth choice centre back, behind Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Kolo Toure and harshly even Joe Gomez (Gomez came as a centre-back even though he can operate on the flanks and started the season as...

Not wanting Europa League Football is a mistake

There’s a train of thought currently steaming along that suggests not competing in Europe next season is actually a blessing for Liverpool and Klopp. That it was a Champions League or bust situation, and bust was worth more than a spot in the Europa League. It’s a train of thought that I won’t be boarding,...

Liverpool’s Next Season Syndrome

"Next season is our year." "We'll be better next season." "Just wait until after the summer." "The push for Champions League is next year." You've heard them all. I've heard them all. I've said most of them, or the like. Such is the life of a Liverpool Football Club supporter. Recently, always just within touching distance of what...

Victory in Defeat for Liverpool

Our second half capitulation against Sevilla in Basel was very painful viewing. Almost 24 hours on from the loss and our heads still replaying the Sturridge worldy and how different it could have been if not for that offside interaction and penalty claim. Then Moreno’s inability to make a tackle and thus, breath-taking destruction...

Can Liverpool really compete for Lewandowski?

Robert Lewandowski was the top marksman in the Bundesliga again with an incredible 30 league goals in 32 games for Bayern Munich. The 27 year-old striker has his critics in certain quarters but he is a true world class player at the top of his game. There is no doubt Lewandowski is reaching the peak...

What does the 2016/2017 season hold in store for Liverpool?

The disappointment of losing the Europa League Final in Basel may leave a different angle on the 2015/2016 campaign, but it should not take away the many positives that Liverpool have experience since Jurgen Klopp arrived at Anfield. A rollercoaster of fortunes and emotions may be the most fitting way to sum up the...

Liverpool Trophyless But Cup Still Half Full

Another final, another defeat. Many will wake with sore heads across the Liverpool family, as was probably always going to be the case. However, the sweet hangover cure of silverware and a spot in the Champions League will not be waiting on the bed side table. “Liverpool and European Cups are a match made in heaven,”...

A Look at Liverpool Target Loris Karius

Twitter was abuzz on Monday when news broke that Liverpool were 'closing in' on a £5 million move for Mainz goalkeeper Loris Karius. Does he warrant the hype or is this a familiar case of fans overhyping a target? The 22 year old German has had an extraordinary season with his club side as he...

A Statistical review of LFC’s 2015/16 Premier League Season

It's that time of the year again. I take a look at Liverpool's Premier League season from a statistical point of view. I did something similar for the 2014/15 season which you can find here although it's doubtful many will want to relive that season it's necessary as a point of reference. Liverpool's league campaign...

Klopp, Finals and Tragic Rom-Coms

It wasn't supposed to be like this. Liverpool's fairytale season wasn't supposed to end in heartache. Of all the movies out there it seems we took inspiration from Titanic, one of the few rom-coms that ends in tragedy. The scene was set. It could've been a remake of the movie "She's all that". Jurgen Klopp steps...
