Liverpool FC Opinion

Reds Off To An Excellent Start

Three wins, a draw, and a loss from the first five opening games in our Premier League campaign has drawn plenty of negative conclusions from a good chunk of Liverpool fans. We kicked the season off with a flying start at the Emirates, where we scored four on Arsenal's own turf, something that’s not been...

Is Anyone Ever Dropped by Liverpool?

Football, like any sport, is filled with drama both on and off the pitch. However nothing quite takes the cake for journalists and for mainstream media like drama involving players and their respective managers. “Wielding the axe” – one of many analogies used to describe the non-selection of players by a manager; but nothing sounds...

Liverpool should fear nobody in another unpredictable Premier League season

Liverpool can win the 2016/17 Premier League title. I can hear the groans from here. “Bet you weren’t saying that after the Burnley game”, “Typical Liverpool writer full of hyperbole, putting a positive spin on everything”. I’ve heard it all before, don’t you worry. But if you can’t get excited about the way in which the Reds...

Klopp has the staff to recreate the 2013/14 campaign

The Liverpool campaign of three seasons ago in which the Reds came so agonisingly close to lifting their first Premier League title still weighs heavily on the hearts of supporters. That season, Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge formed an irresistible allegiance and between them scored 52 goals. For the first time since then, the...

Liverpool Reaping the Rewards of an Extensive Pre-Season

When you look back, and remember Liverpool Football Club played an outrageous amount of pre-season games (9) all crammed up in a month or so, the first thought that would come to mind would be Klopp grinding his players to make them the fittest in the Premier League. But the insane number of games won’t...

More than Most, Klopp Deserves our Patience

Since the second coming… I mean, arrival of our charismatic manager, Jurgen Klopp, there has been the undeniable whiff of an air of optimism around us fans in regards to what riches the future might now hold for our club. Looking back I’m pretty sure Klopp arrived for that first press conference descended from the...

Time for a winning mentality to return at Liverpool

When you look at Liverpool’s most successful teams of the 21st century, they all had one thing in common: a winning mentality. They often never knew when they were beaten, and they would overcome moments of adversity thanks to sheer quality and an outstanding team spirit. Both Gerard Houllier’s treble-winning side and Rafa Benitez’s team of...

Daniel Sturridge and the pitfalls of genius

‘Of course it is more difficult for me to play wide. I'm a centre-forward. In the modern day game you have to try and be flexible but everyone knows my best position. Everyone knows where I enjoy playing the most. I'm a player who plays on instinct, and in the middle I have clarity...

The Captain and Klopp: The Virtue of Patience

Rome was not built in a day. Any long-standing success is, usually, the product of a carefully planned and executed strategy and, unfortunately for some, the phrase rings true in the world of football. Liverpool Football Club's reputation alongside other European giants is not a result of recent results, it is the deserved product...

The Sakho Conundrum

The last few months have been nothing short of a roller coaster ride for Liverpool’s #3, Mamadou Sakho. Being accused (falsely) for taking an illegal substance, subsequently missing out on very important matches for Liverpool, to being acquitted of those charges a a few months later. Then he picked up an injury, got sent home...
