The Liverpool loss that broke my heart and 2 different ways of coping

Okay, let’s be honest: When Liverpool loses; it feels like a personal betrayal. Like your best mate stealing your girlfriend while you’re in hospital after a freak Frisbee accident. It feels both needlessly cruel, and damningly unfair. All you ever did was love and support a footie team with every fiber of your being! ...

How Should We Judge the New Lovren?

Dejan Lovren... He’s improved quite a bit under Klopp, but he’s still a player who divides opinion. There’s even been talk, both on Twitter and from mainstream journalists, that he’s the centre-back Klopp trusts most, and that he’s the one who will partner Matip next season. Not everyone holds this view, however – a competing...

Observations from Liverpool’s victory against Stoke

It felt like groundhog day for Liverpool fans, as Bojan headed Stoke level after the Reds had dominated early on and had deservedly taken the lead through a Alberto Moreno stunner. This only seemed to fuel the players as Liverpool ran out 4-1 winners in a game that was all too easy. It was...

Liverpool 4-1 Stoke – Player Ratings

Sandwiched in between two legs of the Europa League quarterfinal against Borussia Dortmund, Stoke City's visit to Anfield could have provided multiple headaches for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. Instead, it was a dominant display from the Reds, as they turned on the style in a 4-1 defeat of the Potters. Apart from getting the win,...

European Away Daze

Friday 18th March The draw. This is where it really starts. The fabled legend who you can’t quite recall doing something remarkable alongside the official from UEFA reminding you of something from the Eurovision Song Contest. There won’t be any “dooze pwaan” for anyone here, just fate… and possible destiny. By the time the sixth...

The Daniel Sturridge Dilemma

I’ll cut straight to the chase: very few Liverpool players receive bipolar judgments from the Kop, and Daniel Sturridge is no different. “Sell him, keep him; bench him, play him” – the hymn that goes on rhythmically throughout the season without an end in sight. There’s no doubt in my mind that Jürgen Klopp adores...

Match Preview | Liverpool vs Stoke City

Liverpool welcome Stoke City to Anfield on Sunday afternoon, hoping to gain three points to close the gap on the top four. A win would push them above Stoke in the table, and could see them rise to 7th. Jurgen Klopp faced his old club on Thursday night as Liverpool came away with a 1-1...

Analysing Origi’s big performance against Dortmund

When Liverpool's starting XI for their quarter-final was announced the first thing many journalists looked at was the fact star forward Daniel Sturridge was on the bench. You could hear them furiously bashing on their keyboard as they raced against one another to announce that Sturridge was dropped. If a player drops down to...

Functionality is key as Liverpool look to improve this summer

Liverpool fans were infamous for their 'next year will be our year' statement. However, for the past decade, the phrase associated with the fans has slowly morphed into 'Liverpool's summer transfer window is their biggest in years'. The two phrases are of course linked. Fans of the Reds are forever harbouring the belief that...

Joe Gomez – Remember me?

An Unfamiliar Face Last summer I heard we were buying a young, quality defender from Charlton Athletic.  Admittedly, I had never heard of Joe Gomez.  I dug a little deeper to find out who this kid was.  I wanted to know why Liverpool had swooped early to acquire Gomez, reportedly from under the noses of...
