Hands up if you were one of the fans who jumped feet first on to the "Lovren is shit" bandwagon? Hands up if you are one of the fans who would be at the front of the bandwagon organising the Lovren is shit chorus? Who could blame you right? For nearly eighteen months of...
A 1-1 draw was enough to see Liverpool progress to the quarter-finals of the Europa League. There was so much talk pre-match from Manchester United boss, Louis Van Gaal, that they only needed two goals and missing midfielder, Ander Herrera, mentioned how the grass was better at Old Trafford, therefore you would see a...
Liverpool take a healthy two goal lead into the Europa League second leg against Manchester United, but can be rest assured that things won't be easy at Old Trafford, as the Old Enemy will look to pull all straps to ensure that they knock the Reds out of contention for their last piece of...
There’s this word that I’ve always liked called schadenfreude; it’s a German word that has become quite popularly recognised amongst English speakers. The word essentially means sour grapes, but schadenfreude sounds so much better than sour grapes and I’ll admit feeling schadenfreude towards Manchester United. As a Liverpool fan of over 30 years, it...
Manchester United fans seem to think the tie is over. Liverpool fans are spending their time debating how many goals they'll win by. It's a surreal scenario if you're of a certain age. The first thought is to assume the pressure is on Manchester United ahead of the match on Thursday but if anything...
It could be said that taking a 2-0 home lead into the away leg of any European tie can give a team great confidence. However, the same might not be said of a fanbase, as Liverpool supporters pray that their side doesn't let their impressive Anfield performance slip, as they visit Old Trafford to...
"A 2-0 lead is a dangerous score line."
It may be a cliche statement but it's correct. It's the score line that gives a team a sense of security. It's this sense of security that means teams instinctively sit back and invite pressure onto them hoping to hit them on the counter and sealing the...
Public perception over Liverpool's forward line has changed drastically from the start of the season; Danny Ings and Christian Benteke started fairly well, whilst Divock Origi and Roberto Firmino struggled, as Daniel Sturridge looked on from the sidelines. Fast forward to late October, where Ings had been ruled out for the season, Benteke was...
When it comes to Sakho everyone is eager to be proven right. The media that strenuously tag him awkward and for whom he is a representation of the ills of the transfer committee cannot stress enough how poor and overrated he is at any opportunity that comes their way.
On the flip-side the fans that...
Imagine, it’s August 2016. The anticipation has been building since the end of May, long gone are the summer internationals and the boredom of the long, empty summer weekends. The forward thinking clubs have done their business early, but the rumour mill has halted this past week, all that remains is that first whistle.
Anfield's...
