"A 2-0 lead is a dangerous score line."
It may be a cliche statement but it's correct. It's the score line that gives a team a sense of security. It's this sense of security that means teams instinctively sit back and invite pressure onto them hoping to hit them on the counter and sealing the...
Public perception over Liverpool's forward line has changed drastically from the start of the season; Danny Ings and Christian Benteke started fairly well, whilst Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino struggled, as Daniel Sturridge looked on from the sidelines. Fast forward to late October, where Ings had been ruled out for the season, Benteke was...
When it comes to Sakho everyone is eager to be proven right. The media that strenuously tag him awkward and for whom he is a representation of the ills of the transfer committee cannot stress enough how poor and overrated he is at any opportunity that comes their way.
On the flip-side the fans that...
Imagine, it’s August 2016. The anticipation has been building since the end of May, long gone are the summer internationals and the boredom of the long, empty summer weekends. The forward thinking clubs have done their business early, but the rumour mill has halted this past week, all that remains is that first whistle.
Anfield's...
Some parts of Jurgen Klopp’s Rote Maschine are still on the production line, but during the past few weeks there have been signs that some of the components are finally coming together.

Following a run of games which saw Liverpool regularly playing twice a week, the week break between the two Europa...
For many Luis Alberto Romero is one of the personifications of the failings of Liverpool’s transfer committee. He was acquired as Brendan Rodgers put it back then because he had the “correct football profile and mentality to be a Liverpool player”. However, together with Iago Aspas, they became one of the pointless transfers for...
When Jurgen Klopp was appointed as Liverpool manager at the beginning of October many fans took to social media to give their thoughts on how the current squad could replicate how the mentalist German set up his successful Dortmund side.
One of the favourite comparisons was that £32.5 million man Christian Benteke would be Liverpool's...
Top 4? It's the hope that kills you!
I watched something happen to this Liverpool team over the past week. They went to Wembley and after a slow start and falling behind, ended up running Manchester City down to the wire. But sadly, it was not to be.
The Liverpool performance in the Final, whilst better,...
The general consensus is that Liverpool need to sign another striker this summer. A guaranteed goal-getter to get the pulses racing inside Anfield and leave opposition defences quaking with fear.
However, the Reds currently have four international strikers fully fit for the first time this season and the upturn in goalscoring form makes for good...
From its opening shots back in Summer 2015, this season has been one of the most unpredictable ever seen. Even now, as we roll through March, nothing is certain.
Oh, unless you’re a Villa fan that is.
As a supporter I’ve never experienced anything like it. I mean we’ve all seen blips in the usually predictable...
