Picking up the paper Wednesday morning in Madrid, the headline made me spit out my coffee... OK, tinto verano. “180 Milliones por Asensio,” read the top of the page. Unfortunately underneath that it read “MARCA,” which is not the most reliable publication in the world for transfer news. It falls somewhere above Don Balon...
Watching Toni Kroos ready himself for a free kick in extra time against Sweden is a far cry from where the Nationalmannschaft found themselves just four summers ago in South America. Here, Kroos was forced to place a stunning goal in the back of the net for the opportunity of survival, a place Germany...
Football can be a cruel sport.
It’s worth remembering that when Danny Ings signed for Liverpool, he was just 22 years old, although he would turn 23 before the season began. He was fresh off two strong seasons with Burnley and full of promise. That promise looked as though it might begin to blossom under...
Liverpool, as a club, cycles from despair to redemption several times a season and especially in the offseason. It should be no surprise that one of our longest serving players has gone through a few peaks and valleys during his run as a Red.
Dejan Lovren’s highs and lows are special in that he has...
It’s only been four weeks since Liverpool lost the Champions League final, and yet I miss football. I miss Mo Salah and Sadio Mané and Bobby Firmino all playing together and not trudging through games for their international sides. I miss big Virgil bossing the defence. I miss the Scottish Roberto Carlos. I miss...
The 2017/18 season has been one of the most memorable campaigns in years.

Whilst the World Cup rumbles on in the background, like me you probably can't wait until it's over to see what moves the club makes, in what will remain of the transfer window. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the World Cup, but it's still the starter before the main course that is the...
Rewind a couple of weeks and Liverpool sporting director Michael Edwards was being suggested as the next Red to be knighted. Michael and Edward were the most common baby names on Merseyside. Local sculptors were providing sketches for bronze statues... of his laptop.
The surprise signing of Brazilian midfielder, Fabinho, raised enthusiasm for the transfer...
A scintillating first season on Merseyside, Mohamed Salah stole the headlines in a record-breaking campaign that saw him secure the PFA Player of the Year, Football Writers' Association Footballer of the Year as well as the lion's share of Liverpool POTM awards. With 41 goals to boast, the King, as he shall forever be...
It’s hard to think of a more likeable footballer in the modern game than Mo Salah. When you weight it all up, what is there to possibly dislike about him?
A deeply religious man with great values, he plays the game in exactly right way without an ounce of ego and snide - there is...
