I met them both at the Stadium Bukit Jalil press box when the 2nd half started. Duty calls, you see. I was adamant that I spend the 1st half before with my family, eager to impress upon my two elder girls and their cousin sister what it meant to immerse themselves in the game...
The Premier League returns this upcoming week, and our beloved Reds begin the campaign with a grudge match away to Stoke City. After The-Match-That-Will-Not-Be-Named closed out the 2014/15 season, we go again to the Britannia to face the Potters. The pressure mounts every passing day, but so too does the excitement for league football...
Cast your mind back to the last time Liverpool played at Stoke. Yes, that game. 'The 6-1', as it's become known.
The humbling at the Britannia provided no finer example of the need for a streak of nastiness under Brendan Rodgers. A team being humiliated in this fashion by supposedly inferior opposition should have been...
As part of the AI Summer Holiday series, I've gone to the German Bundesliga to identify 3 players who I believe would improve the current Liverpool team.
Benedikt Höwedes
I initially thought it would be pointless identifying an upgrade on Martin Skrtel after he signed a new contract and appears to be the front runner to...

One week before the Premier League season kicks off and James Pearce's Blood Red article made its appearance on the Liverpool echo website. It was supposed to be about Rickie Lambert leaving but that wouldn't have caused controversy so for an added bonus he decided to have a pop at Mario Balotelli. He quickly...
When Yannick Bolasie was roasting Dejan Lovren on Gerrard’s last Anfield appearance memories of the six consecutive away clean sheets that ended in April had long faded. The not so assured defending of the early season had returned. Coinciding with that period was the loss of Mamadou Sakho to injury. The Parisien who had...
The summer break often has mystical powers when it comes to football fans. Any disappointments from the previous season become fading memories and the positives can be somewhat embellished; a few new signings and the magical optimism returns. The excitement builds as your team travels to the four corners of the world to play...
With the season just around the corner many fans have started naming their 'Dream XI' for the season ahead. Sometimes you'll see these though and think yeah that'd be boss on Football Manager or Fifa. This is real life though and you have to consider the tactics and the shape. In the last week...
