5 Defining Moments From the Reds’ 2015/16 Premier League Season

Yet another season of the Premier League has just ended with a new champion being crowned (how rare is that!) and Liverpool ending in 8th place (not so rare!). Once Liverpool changed their manager in October, it was always known that this season would not be where we would be competing at the top...

Why Liverpool Need to Keep Dejan Lovren Next Season

Dejan Lovren started the season as one of the most maligned players and in the eyes of the fans, the fifth choice centre back, behind Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Kolo Toure and harshly even Joe Gomez (Gomez came as a centre-back even though he can operate on the flanks and started the season as...

Not wanting Europa League Football is a mistake

There’s a train of thought currently steaming along that suggests not competing in Europe next season is actually a blessing for Liverpool and Klopp. That it was a Champions League or bust situation, and bust was worth more than a spot in the Europa League. It’s a train of thought that I won’t be boarding,...

Liverpool’s Next Season Syndrome

"Next season is our year." "We'll be better next season." "Just wait until after the summer." "The push for Champions League is next year." You've heard them all. I've heard them all. I've said most of them, or the like. Such is the life of a Liverpool Football Club supporter. Recently, always just within touching distance of what...

Victory in Defeat for Liverpool

Our second half capitulation against Sevilla in Basel was very painful viewing.

Klopp, Finals and Tragic Rom-Coms

It wasn't supposed to be like this. Liverpool's fairytale season wasn't supposed to end in heartache. Of all the movies out there it seems we took inspiration from Titanic, one of the few rom-coms that ends in tragedy. The scene was set. It could've been a remake of the movie "She's all that". Jurgen Klopp steps...

Home Comforts & The Anfield Factor

A few months ago, Liverpool had lost the League Cup final to Manchester City, on penalties, then a few days later they exacted a bittersweet 3-0 revenge upon Manchester City at Anfield. Arguably this illustrated Klopp's impressive ability to motivate his players, but when you consider that Liverpool played a weaker side in the...

Europe and the League – Klopp’s superb Juggling act

Liverpool's Premier League season petered out towards the end with all efforts going towards setting the players up to have the best chance possible of winning the Europa League.
