Liverpool FC: Putting Flesh on Your Dreams

And some day soon, maybe next May, maybe the one after or the one after that, a middle-aged man in a suit will wade through a sea of scarves in front of the Kop, pick one up and tie it around his neck like a docker, make a defiant fist with his left hand...

Attention Liverpool Fans, It’s time to Support & Believe

Gerrard is the reason we’re conceding so many goals… No, Johnson is the reason we’re conceding so many goals… No, Agger is the issue… Nope, it’s definitely Jon Flanagan’s fault… It’s definitely Kolo Toure being useless isn’t it. That’s the reason… Just listen to yourselves for a moment. Liverpool won a seven goal thriller to...

I’m on the Rodgers 12 point plan to Redemption

Are you with me? We are 12 league games away from something remarkable. The door to the riches of the Champions League is firmly open to us, it’s beckoning us in like the hostess of our favourite bar or nightclub. We would be foolish not to take up the offer, after all, who knows when...

Simon Mignolet: A potential problem averted

Summer signing Simon Mignolet slotted straight into the Liverpool setup, and has been one of the key players for the Reds so far this season. For goalkeepers, they're usually a commonly-used scapegoat for a lot of mishaps that go wrong in a campaign, especially those chasing the top places. As mentioned previously, not being in the...

Reject, Rewards & Rodgers

Whilst I appreciate that the title may be somewhat provocative if you look through the current Liverpool team, you will see many players who, at one point or another have been classed as rejects.

Home Sick: Why Liverpool Are Less Dominant Away From Anfield

Liverpool are remaking Anfield into a house of horrors for their rivals, losing only once at home this season. However, the club's away performances have lacked the same sort of conviction at times, especially against lesser sides, and as a result, Liverpool have a subpar away record that keeps them off the top of...

Rodgers’ Eleven: The Premier League Heist

A short, tanned and toned Northern Irishman sits at his desk looking at the remaining fixtures in front of him. He picks up his red fiber tip pen, and crosses out the latest of victims to fall to his mighty team. "Can we do it?" he thinks to himself, tapping his foot off the...

Is the Smart Money on Liverpool?

Four, long years. Four years of Champions League football wilderness, starting with the capitulation of the Rafa regime, continuing with Hodgeball and the return of the King, and most recently, an investment in what is fast becoming a special managerial talent in Brendan Rodgers. I’m circumventing a key issue in those four years, of course –...

Arsenal Vs Liverpool – FA Cup 5th Round Preview

The FA returns this weekend for the 5th round stage which will see all of the top 4 paired up in the draw with Chelsea travelling to the Etihad to face Manchester City and more importantly Liverpool travelling to the Emirates to face Arsenal for a place in the Quarter Finals and a step...

We’re Gonna Win The League

I have a stat for you… Liverpool, compared with the league table at the same stage in 2008/9, are actually closer to the top of the Premier League now than in that magnificent season. Cast your mind back to 08/09. It was, we thought, the time when most thought Liverpool would once again ascend to the...
