Joe “Jesus” Allen has been a figure of some controversy since joining Liverpool in the summer of 2012 for a figure of £15 million from Swansea. The then 22-year-old impressed in his first Premier League season and the fan base was excited, at least, more excited than the transfer of Fabio Borini. Since then...
See that man pacing the touchline, intensity and focus etched into his brow.
See that man tearing from the dugout, leaping and punching a fist through the air.
See that man smile and laugh, the gathered masses of the press sat comfortably in the palm of his hand.
That man is Jurgen Klopp, and Liverpool will never...
Okay, let’s be honest: When Liverpool loses; it feels like a personal betrayal. Like your best mate stealing your girlfriend while you’re in hospital after a freak Frisbee accident. It feels both needlessly cruel, and damningly unfair. All you ever did was love and support a footie team with every fiber of your being! ...
Dejan Lovren...
He’s improved quite a bit under Klopp, but he’s still a player who divides opinion. There’s even been talk, both on Twitter and from mainstream journalists, that he’s the centre-back Klopp trusts most, and that he’s the one who will partner Matip next season.

The draw. This is where it really starts. The fabled legend who you can’t quite recall doing something remarkable alongside the official from UEFA reminding you of something from the Eurovision Song Contest.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Jürgen Klopp adores...
When Liverpool's starting XI for their quarter-final was announced the first thing many journalists looked at was the fact star forward Daniel Sturridge was on the bench. You could hear them furiously bashing on their keyboard as they raced against one another to announce that Sturridge was dropped. If a player drops down to...
Liverpool fans were infamous for their 'next year will be our year' statement. However, for the past decade, the phrase associated with the fans has slowly morphed into 'Liverpool's summer transfer window is their biggest in years'. The two phrases are of course linked. Fans of the Reds are forever harbouring the belief that...
An Unfamiliar Face
Last summer I heard we were buying a young, quality defender from Charlton Athletic. Admittedly, I had never heard of Joe Gomez. I dug a little deeper to find out who this kid was. I wanted to know why Liverpool had swooped early to acquire Gomez, reportedly from under the noses of...
If one is to type the word, ‘Liverpool’ into a google search, said one will be met with a definition telling you that it’s “a historic maritime city in northwest England, where the River Mersey meets the Irish Sea” - allow me to tell you that this definition is wrong. In reality, a ‘Liverpool’...
