Liverpool’s Wishlist: Mario Götze & Two Other Attacking Targets

Amidst a few troubles as of late for Jürgen Klopp’s redmen (that phrase in itself gives this writer more motivation for this article than any article written under Brendan Rodgers), the need for goals ranks highest of all. Well, perhaps second to injuries, but at least goals are something that can be altered to...

Selling Sturridge Is Simply Crazy!

The crazy month that is the January transfer window is in full swing and once again Liverpool are at the heart of it all. It's only been nine days since the transfer window opened and the headlines are already linking Liverpool with the likes of Ter Stegen, Gotze, Subotic, Hummels, Pato, Lacazette and even Aubameyang....

Sturridge, Coutinho and Firmino – It can’t come soon enough

It's been a bit of a rollercoaster season for Liverpool fans already and we're only just in January. From the lows of seeing a Brendan Rodgers Liverpool side humbled at home to West Ham to the highs of Jurgen Klopp's Redmen thumping Manchester City 4-1 at the Etihad we're now finding some middle grounding....

Observations from the 2-2 draw with Exeter City

The kids are alright. Tonight's draw was a commentators dream. The magic of the FA Cup. League 2 Exeter City earned themselves a replay at Anfield after coming away with a 2-2 draw against Liverpool. The narrative will be that the plucky underdog managed to come away from this match against the Premier League giants...

The Europa League could salvage Liverpool’s season

It's not something you want to hear having spent over £300 million over the past few seasons but with the January window now open fans are discussing what areas of the team still need strengthening. There seems to be polls on Twitter on a daily basis and the alarming thing is a different area...

Lallana: A Force Awoken

Since Klopp’s arrival, it's been a tale of ups and downs at Liverpool. Unconvincing performances in the Europa League were forgotten as qualification into the knock-out stages was secured and impressive thrashings of Southampton, Manchester City and Chelsea showcased Liverpool’s potential quality. However, disappointing results against Watford, Crystal Palace, Newcastle and West Ham in...

Benteke is Worse Than Feared – A Terrible Targetman Too

Popular opinion isn’t exactly on Christian Benteke’s side; an ESPN article gave him a 2/10 against West Ham, which doesn’t really require much context. A 2/10 is a polite version of 1/10. It means you have failed at every task you would be typically asked to do in your position, but the qualifier is...

Observations from Liverpool’s win at Stoke

In the grand scheme of things, it's half-time in the Capital One Cup semi-final. A depleted Liverpool side will now take a 1-0 lead to Anfield for the second leg in a fortnight, after a battling display against December's form side, Stoke City. On the whole it wasn't a pretty performance. The Reds started off...

January is Boom or Bust for Liverpool

Just one month ago I wrote on this parish about my excitement for the festive period. It wasn't just the thought of excessive drinking and mounds of mince pies that made me giddy, but the possibility of Liverpool building some momentum. The Reds had just come off the back of three successive victories and I...

Klopp Left with Three Options as Benteke Pressure Mounts

Another week, another mixed set of results, another chorus of grumbling from Liverpool fans over their £32.5m striker. Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Upton Park provided the latest round of evidence in the trial of Benteke, a cloudy affair in which almost everyone employed by the club, from scouts, to former managers, to current owners,...
