Return of the Shaq – and why it’s good news for Liverpool

It's been a long time since we saw any meaningful contribution from Xherdan Shaqiri in a Liverpool shirt. In truth, it probably came in that memorable Champions League semi-final win over Barcelona at Anfield, when his beautiful curling cross was met by a thumping Gini Wijnaldum header to bring Liverpool level in the tie. The Alpine...

Crystal Palace 1-2 Liverpool: Who Was Man of the Match?

Why do teams even bother scoring against us anymore? They know they’re going to lose either way, just save yourselves the late heartbreak and leave our sheet clean. More drama for the Reds as they left it until the last few minutes yet again to take all 3 points. It was a very unconvincing...

Fabian Ruiz: The Ideal Reds Reinforcement

All is not rosy in the garden for Liverpool's Champions League group opponents, Napoli. The Ancelotti-coached Serie A team are in the midst of a crisis started by the club's president film producer, Aurelio De Laurentiis. De Laurentiis, concerned about his teams start to the season, attempted to force the Napoli squad on a training retreat...

Liverpool Football Club – The Envy of All

“Guess we’re living rent free in your head, mate.” This phrase, in itself, is an overused cliché of social media that, like most other phrases originating on Twitter, has become marred by accounts with names of “IconicPogba” and “CityChief” who use it to propagate the air of ridiculous sensationalism that is modern football. Liverpool fans like...

Time For Liverpool Midfield Rotation Is Nigh

In what feels like an eternity ago, Liverpool's midfield produced a consummate performance and tactical compliance and commitment in the Reds' 3-1 victory over their title rivals, Manchester City. Typically, a midfield trio of Fabinho, Jordan Henderson and Georginio Wijnaldum is selected in order to bring a defensive resolve and steel to the European Champions'...

Oxlade-Chamberlain vs. Palace: To Start or Not to Start?

What did you learn from the international break? Very little, right? The absence of domestic football left a gaping void, forcing us to actually do other things with our lives and perhaps even contemplate watching England play. If there's one thing that the last week or so has taught us, it's that Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain remains a...

How would Steven Gerrard fit into Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool team?

The international break does things to people. Without Liverpool to keep them occupied, the mind can wander. Random debates dominate social media and this time around it centres around Jordan Henderson and Steven Gerrard. Initially, the debate was around whether or not the current Liverpool skipper was a better captain than Gerrard. Opinions were offered...

The perfect back-up to Fabinho

It's difficult to impress when your side loses 6-2 over two matches but Genk midfielder Sander Berge certainly caught the eye against the European champions. According to reports, the Reds are interested in signing the 21-year-old. Though this isn't confirmed, talk is he has an £18million release clause in his deal. To Genk, that is...

Where would Mbappe fit in in 2020 Liverpool?

It is one of the transfer rumours that simply won't go away. Kylian Mbappe is one of world football's hottest talents, and the young Frenchman never seems to be too far from the gossip columns. And ever since Liverpool's kit deal with Nike - which is due to begin next season - was given the green...

Sterling has nobody to blame but himself…this time

Let's dispel a myth to begin with. The general consensus is that all Liverpool supporters detest Raheem Sterling, never forgiving him for the manner in which he left in 2015. That is well wide of the mark. I don't just speak for myself when I say I've got plenty of time for Sterling, even though he handled...
