Poor Jon Flanagan. The young Scouse lad came through the competitive ranks at the Liverpool academy, broke into the first team when the opportunity arose and made his mark. But since his injury, the team has evolved and the traditional back four has, for now, been all but abandoned by Brendan Rodgers.
The full-back made...
The Spurs game at White Hart Lane in August teased us with a Mario Balotelli/ Daniel Sturridge partnership and left us longing for more. It could have been even more embarrassing had Balotelli been match sharp and Hugo Lloris wasn't in inspired form when facing the Italian.
Strike partnerships in the modern era aren't as...
I think it's fair to say that throughout his time at LFC, Philippe Coutinho hasn't been recognised as a world class player. Don't get me wrong, he has been a crucial first team player for Liverpool, but he hasn't really caught the eye of many fans of the club. This may have been because...
Firstly let me say this isn't a Lallana or Rodgers-agenda article. This isn't a character assassination on the Liverpool number 20. This is just a fan who can't fathom as to why Brendan Rodgers keeps trying to use Adam Lallana as a wing-back. Is the Reds' manager afraid of reverting to a back 4?

With Steven Gerrard announcing his intention to leave Liverpool at the end of the season and head for pastures new – namely Los Angeles – there have been many fans who have stated that we will never see his like again and that Gerrard can never be replaced. Whether he is the finest footballer...
It was truly an exceptional captain’s performance from Jordan Henderson against Burnley.
With one rocket goal, an assist and a 92% passing accuracy, Henderson left little in doubt that leadership suits him.
And the question of the captaincy is a hot topic. ‘Captain Fantastic’ is departing and many have questioned how much of Liverpool’s soul he...
When Jordan Henderson was announced as Liverpool's vice-captain, it was seen as a reward for his hard work and progression. When Steven Gerrard announced his imminent departure, the complexion changed, and even more so since the captain's absence through injury - all eyes are now on how he would step up.
Criticisms came thick and...
Amid the meritorious hyperboles circulating around numerous timelines on social media, be it Twitter or Facebook, there is a considerable amount to be joyous about at the moment. After the dark days of December; the perpetual post-weekend depression after another dismal Liverpool display and the crushing notion of missing out on fourth - Brendan's "Tricky...
Whether it was due to the millions of pounds spent on recruits in the summer, or the fact that our deadly front man Daniel Sturridge was missing for nearly five months, Liverpool did not resume where they left off last season following the exit of the ever-iconic (and troublesome) Luis Suarez.
Queue the 'Rodgers Out'...
Tuesday 9th December, the game finishes 1-1 at Anfield and Liverpool are knocked out of the Champions League after a pitiful display. Coutinho, Sakho, Moreno, Can, Lallana and Markovic all started the game on the bench.
The knives were truly out for Brendan Rodgers. I have to admit, I was reaching out for the meat cleaver...
