With another trip around the sun completed and the festive period behind us (by the time you read this), let’s look at the Red year and see exactly what we have and haven’t learned.
January
A brand new year lay ahead. A time for renewal and rejuvenation. A chance to draw a line under everything and...
Is there a reason to buy players in January? Isn’t it better to show your true believe in your own squad and the players you have right now and wait until the summer, when there is more time for everything?
I believe that any sort of signing helps in a certain way, even if it’s...
It's cliche I know but a year in football is a long time. If you compared December 2015 and December 2016 they're almost unrecognisable.
After the Boxing Day fixtures in 2015 Liverpool were in 8th position with 27 points and a -1 goal difference. Watford and Crystal Palace where both ahead of the Reds and Everton...
For all that he's done throughout his career there are still people who believe Jurgen Klopp is a one trick pony. There's a misconception that his playbook had just the one page; the blitzkrieg approach. Pundits and media alike questioned the long-term viability of it because teams who sat back reportedly nullified it. After...
The recent victories against Middlesbrough and Everton have thrust the usual names into the spotlight. Adam Lallana took the headlines in the North East and, a few days later, fans of both colours were all about Sadio Mane, either with a deep, nourishing love in their hearts or with a ‘jammy redshite bastard’ tone.

On the first day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me,
Jurgen Klopp’s appointment at LFC
On the second day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me,
Two Derby wins,
And Jurgen Klopp’s appointment at LFC
On the third day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me,
Three defensive errors,
Two Derby wins,
And Jurgen Klopp’s appointment at LFC
On the fourth day...
Twelve months ago, Liverpool were sitting ninth in the Premier League table with just twenty-four points from the first seventeen games. Jurgen Klopp had been in charge for just two months, and hadn't really had the effect that we all hoped. In fact his record was worse than his predecessor Brendan Rodgers, averaging just...
Without Daniel Sturridge, Liverpool would not have beaten Everton at Goodison Park. It really is as simple as that.
The 27-year-old was introduced late in the day at the home of the Reds’ local rivals, and every time he got the ball, it felt as though something may happen.
He looked bright and unpredictable, and you...
So, here it is, Merry Christmas reds, and what a superb early present we got this past Monday with our win across the park in the dying embers of the game vs our Merseyside rivals.
Sadio Mane sparked jubilant scenes in the away end with his 94th minute winner vs Everton, but what was more...
