Sadio Mane – The Dembele Alternative?

Paul Joyce sent Twitter into a bit of a meltdown with the news that Liverpool were looking at £25 million Southampton attacker Sadio Mane as an alternative to Mario Gotze. Reports surfaced earlier this week about how the German looked set to join Liverpool, even agreeing personal terms, before an amazing u turn saw...

Gotze to Liverpool: Increasingly unlikely but a match made in heaven

Mario Gotze’s mind must be absolutely pickled. He has current club Bayern Munich making it abundantly clear that they don’t want him, despite the 23-year-old expressing his desire to stay. It’s almost a bit sad. Then there’s former team Borussia Dortmund, who remain an option this summer, but don’t exactly seem desperate to re-sign their golden...

Karius and Matip – A frugal Liverpool in the Transfer Market

For as long as I can remember Liverpool have been wasteful in the transfer market. We're the type of club who are more than happy to pay over the odds for an average, solid squad player but drag our feet when it comes to pay the big money for a game changer. Nothing in football...

Liverpool’s title chances under Klopp next season

Anyone mad enough to claim that the Premier League isn't the best league in the world will have another thing coming to them next season. The English top flight will have seven major players in the 2016/17 season, namely Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Leicester, Chelsea and, of course, Liverpool. Winning the Premier League...

Liverpool Supporters: Pessimistically Optimistic

Liverpool Football Club is a massive club, to say the least. The supporters are those who know it better than anyone. After all, we’re the ones who have witnessed the highs and lows over decades and decades. Players, managers, and staff come and go. But it’s us fans, who are the constant in the...

Criticising Klopp’s Debut season is Lazy

It's bewildering to me but there are some fans who are dissatisfied with how Jurgen Klopp's first season as Reds boss panned out. A run to the Europa League final littered with memorable moments and a League Cup final wasn't enough to appease an impatient, Premier League deprived bunch of fans. Those who seem...

What is “Success” for Liverpool FC?

Back to the Future As the dust settles on another domestic season we get an opportunity to assess where our great club is at, and the journey we can reasonably expect it to bring us on in the season to come.  As discussed on the LFC Daytrippers pod last week, some fans are happy to...

Buying Players vs Shopping for Clothes: The Similarities

Twice a year, football clubs from all over Europe get the chance to go shopping for players. And for fans it’s one of the most exciting moments of the season, because it could either make or break their season. You go into a store looking for a watch, because the one you have is either...

How Liverpool Can Improve Their Communications

Following on from Sam McGuire’s excellent analysis of the PR disaster that is Liverpool Football Club, it got me thinking of how Liverpool should improve their communications. Working in public relations, I consider myself to have a level of authority on the subject. It’s often difficult to watch Liverpool operate in a communications field, with...

The Curious Case of Mamadou Sakho

Being a football fan demands that you put your emotions on the line week in, week out. However while we often tell ourselves we won’t let the game effect us, we can’t help it. Being a football fan is an emotional bond. At this moment in time Liverpool fans are on an emotional come down....
