Revenge Part II – Observations from Liverpool’s win vs United

It's as close to a perfect first leg in a European competition as you'll see. It was the sort of performance many Liverpool fans came to expect when Liverpool were dominating Europe; the home clean sheet and a few goals to take into the second leg. It was almost perfection with only David De...

Sturridge and Origi provide a striking difference

I don’t need to explain to anyone with a modicum of football knowledge just how big a Liverpool versus Manchester United game is and emotions usually run very high for these encounters. However, the overriding emotion for me from the Premier League meetings between the two sides both this season and last has been...

When Two Tribes Go To War…

When the Reds set off on their latest European campaign six months ago it’s fair to say no one was overly inspired by a trip to the south-western France. Let’s be honest, the early stages of the Europa league with its Thursday/Sunday grind doesn’t exactly get the pulse racing in the autumn. There’s the...

Jurgen’s Army: Fighting On All Fronts

On Sunday 6th March 2016, Liverpool Football Club achieved something that they had not managed to do in Premier League history. In fact, something that no club had done in the league before. Ever. A landmark for English football. What was it? To win a match from a goal AND a man down. Once...

Palace fume – all Bent(eke) out of shape

Bask in it. Allow yourself this moment. Warm up these cold March days with the fume that Liverpool generated with the stoppage time win over Crystal Palace. Christian Benteke has been a much maligned figure since his £32 million move from Aston Villa in the summer of 2015, but against Palace he united the fan base...

Observations from Liverpool’s 2-1 win against Crystal Palace

At what has been akin to a graveyard for Liverpool recently, the Reds managed to recover from being a goal and a man down to win the game with virtually the last kick, with Christian Benteke calmly slotted a penalty away in the dying embers of the game as Crystal Palace continued their horrific...

Liverpool Squad Analysis, Part 1: The Defence

Following the failure in the League Cup final, Jürgen Klopp revealed in an interview that, “We have to change a lot of things to be successful... we can't be successful just because of the history of the club or the name of the manager or the names of the players.” Not only this, but the club...

Divock Origi – Staking A Claim

After another impressive display by the talented young Belgium, Divock Origi is finally gaining the plaudits and attention, his performances have deserved. Whilst he didn't quite grab the headlines in the emphatic 3-0 victory vs Manchester City, he added some much needed strength, power and direct running to a front line that was decidedly...

Jon Flanagan – Liverpool’s Tony Hibbert?

No. Wait a minute. Lay down your pitchforks and stop digging that hole to put a stake in. A comparison to Everton cult hero Tony Hibbert isn't an insult. Well, not entirely. Momentarily put aside your preconceptions of the player and look at the bigger picture. The full-back was reliable; he always gave his all...

A Case For Lazar Marković

Like Portuguese defender Tiago Ilori before him, Serbian winger Lazar Marković has become one of Liverpool's forgotten men this season. As an out and out winger Marković was the last player fans expected to see loaned out this season especially with Jordan Ibe being Liverpool's only other out and out winger in the 2015/2016...
