Liverpool, the League Cup and other trophies

I am not going to try and sugar coat this, of all the major trophies available, the League Cup is the lowest on the prestige list. Hate me for saying that if you want, I don’t really care because it’s a fact. However, just because it is the least important and prestigious of all...

Does Emre Can Deserve The Criticism He’s Receiving?

After Liverpool's poor result against Augsburg last week Emre Can is back in the supporters' bad books and has once again been criticised for his performances, some of which I'll admit haven't been up to standard. The criticism he is getting though at the minute is not warranted. As I've already stated Can has...

Can Liverpool really rely on Sakho and Lovren?

Pitchforks down please. This isn't about whether Sakho and Lovren are good enough for Liverpool. It's about their durability. Liverpool may find themselves in many predicaments this summer but one that's been overlooked due to more pressing issues is the Dejan Lovren and Mamadou Sakho conundrum. Both players divide opinion amongst Liverpool fans but this...

Liverpool vs Augsburg: Europa League Preview

As the Capital One Cup final nears, Liverpool have got one more game before they make their trip to Wembley, and it's something of a final itself. Tied at 0-0 following a fairly drab first leg in Germany, the Reds must complete the job at home to progress to the Europa League Last 16. If...

Marko Grujic talks about his move to Liverpool!

This Marko Grujic interview was originally found in http://www.blic.rs/ and was translated into English by Vlastimir Stevanovic. “Everything started with the now famous phone call from Klopp. No one told me that he was going to call, I didn’t know anything about it. I was just sitting around when my phone started ringing and I saw...

Hot and Cold; why are Liverpool so inconsistent?

Inconsistency has been a hallmark of Liverpool's performances since the start of Brendan Rodgers' tenure in 2012, but why do Liverpool still struggle to put together a string of successive good performances, or put a small handful of fantastic performances in between a sandwich of dull, slow and rather boring ones? There is no clear answer...

Simon Mignolet Compared to Europe’s Elite Goalkeepers

Yes this is another Simon Mignolet article, however it's different to those that have went before it. Many have given their opinion on the Belgian shot stopper and cited instances in games to back their opinions up, but very few have really digged into the statistical side of it. Granted, Goalkeeper stats is an understudied...

Punched by a Liverpool Fan and Other Great Memories

As football fans I consider us to be a blessed bunch. Blessed to experience an emotional onslaught for ninety minutes that will elevate us to ridiculous highs one second then punch us in the stomach the next. Sometimes magical, sometimes shit, but always life affirming, always passionate. Blessed to be able to converse like old friends...

Matip, Grujic, and Building The Way Forward

The road has been fraught with minor altercations, progress has been patchy and the highlights; the glimpses into what could be a golden era of our once great football club, have been equated by the speed-bumps that have us looking to the future. But those glimpses, though sparing, have been wonderful. From Roberto Firmino’s...

8 Memorable Bosman Signings for Liverpool

With confirmation of Joel Matip arriving in the summer on a free transfer earlier this week it got me thinking about previous Bosman transfers at Liverpool. It's almost instinctive to hear the words 'free transfer' and picture Joe Cole and Milan Jovanovic as a Liverpool fan but the club's history with Bosman deals isn't...
