Five Observations from Arsenal vs Liverpool

A repeat of last season's result at the Emirates was never on the cards. Personally, I could not see Liverpool exposing themselves in match three of the season and Arsenal were still in first gear so momentum was not on their side. It was a little eerie for me. Anybody who follows me on...

Why Signing Benteke Represents Giving Up

When it was first confirmed that Liverpool’s interest in Christian Benteke was not going to waver, the news was mostly met wih despair from Liverpool fans. He represented everything that they didn’t want from a new signing. A target man from a lower league team with an expensive buyout clause that everyone knew would...

Two Wins From Two – Where’s The Optimism?

We’re two games into the 2015-16 Premier League season and Liverpool have a 100% record, keeping two clean sheets in the process, yet there are still plenty who are intent on grumbling about something or other. “Crap that, wasn’t it,” I overheard one Liverpool fan say as they left Anfield on Monday night. There were...

Arsenal v Liverpool: a Gooner’s view

As a prelude to the upcoming Arsenal v Liverpool match at The Emirates on August 24, I thought I'd try and give us Reds fans a slightly different perspective on what is a big game for both clubs by speaking to Arsenal fan, Stephen Lewis. I've known Steve for around ten years and can...

Is Brendan Rodgers Evolving The Back Three Idea?

Not many positives can be taken from last season if we're being honest. An unbeaten streak sandwiched between two below average runs is how you could describe our Premier League season. Two semi-final appearances in the domestic cups could be seen as a positive but the performance put in against Villa was underwhelming to...

Does Henderson Have To Play No Matter What?

According to media reports prior to Monday night's match versus AFC Bournemouth, Jordan Henderson, had pain killing injections for days during the build up to the game due to a foot injury.  The coaching and medical staff clearly deemed it that Henderson, the club captain, was required for the match, even with an injury,...

Pipe Down and Support Liverpool FC!

It's such a joy being a Liverpool fan right now. We are only two games into the season (with two squeaky, clean sheets and maximum points), and already I feel the desperate urge to deactivate my Twitter account, change my name to Bafetimbi and move to Antarctica. You could be forgiven for thinking we had been...

Four New Things At Liverpool’s Anfield Opener

New Stand Anfield’s new main stand looms behind the current one, as fans exchange stories about how it will be moved into place, where it came from and what it will be called. Like the mythical beast in that episode of Father Ted, much of the evening’s talk concerned the new structure, and the fact that the...

Would Winning Alone Suffice?

If one reads the title of this piece, it would not be too far fetched to assume that readers might think they have entered an Arsenal/Chelsea fans blog site by accident, as this is a topic which has been a bug bear for Arsenal fans during their trophy drought ridden years. The terms 'winning...

If Sakho is Sold… How is He Replaced?

You don't know what you've got till it's gone. Mamadou Sakho is a rare breed of centre-back these days. Gone is the time many of the big teams had a world class centre back, or at least the potential to be one. He splits opinion for many different reasons and I won't bore you with...
