Liverpool FC Opinion

Liverpool are still a work in progress

The start to this season has been very positive for Liverpool - Jürgen Klopp's men are level on points with Manchester City and Arsenal at the top of the Premier League; the football is entertaining and confidence is high. It's too early to get over excited, but things are looking up at Anfield and...

Where is the praise for Liverpool’s transfer committee?

In English football there has always been an aversion to ‘the continental model’ of football management. The likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Bill Shankley were such enduring individuals at their clubs that the successes of their teams have been attributed to the all powerful men that ruled them. The great managers of English...

Coutinho & Firmino: Majestic Brazilians Bringing The Good Times Back

There was a time during the Roy Hodgson era when the thought of Liverpool having two dazzling Brazilians in their ranks felt little more than a pipe dream. Any flair that once existed at the club had ebbed away. We were having to put up with a years-past-his-peak Joe Cole, the dullest footballer in history...

Jurgen’s Plan B Sticking To Plan A

Disclaimer- Despite the positive performance and result using our second string side against Spurs last Tuesday, I am aware that we did beat a Spurs reserve team who have an eye and a half on the Champions League and these boys will face up to tougher opponents. During Mauricio Pochettinos post-match press conference after Liverpool's EFL...

Sturridge Has a Place in the Team, But He Might Not Like It

I think I’ve pointed out in the past that I love this man. Daniel Sturridge, in my opinion, is the most natural finisher England have got. Forget Harry Kane, forget Jamie Vardy, forget Marcus Rashford. Sturridge is the best finisher of the lot. Those three all have their qualities but none can quite stick the...

Why we owe Steven Gerrard his return

Liverpool legend deserves a return to Anfield despite mixed opinions. Sunken to his knees, staring into the abyss of Selhurst Park, Steven Gerrard knew it was over. His dream of lifting the Premier League title with Liverpool, had disappeared faster than he fell to allow Demba Ba THAT goal the previous week. “Devastation” was the word Gerrard...

What has been Liverpool’s Goal of 2016/17 so far?

When recently asked about his favourite Liverpool goal of the season to date, Jurgen Klopp admitted there were several contenders in his eyes. “There have been a lot of nice goals ,” he said. “Sadio’s goal at Arsenal was not too bad, especially when I saw it after the game when I saw the movement he...

Liverpool’s Christmas Period Preview: Fixtures, youngsters, and fitness

It’s approaching that time of year again everybody. While it may only be the end of October, many Liverpool fans are starting to turn their gaze forward towards next month’s fixtures, as well as the dreaded Christmas period. In fairness though, there are quite a lot of mouth-watering fixtures to look forward to in the...

Why Klopp is right to favour Firmino over Sturridge

Liverpool’s blistering start to the new season has the club’s fans hoping that Jurgen Klopp’s men can put in a realistic Premier League title challenge this term, with all the signs suggesting the Merseysiders will be there or thereabouts come May. A somewhat disappointing 0-0 draw against rivals Manchester United on Monday was the first...

Liverpool v Manchester United: Pragmatism or Poor Performance?

Oh, Lord this is going to be tricky. Before I start on this complex and somewhat tricky standpoint, I’d like to issue the following caveats. Firstly, I don’t like anything to do with Manchester United. I’m one of those people who finds themselves wiping their hands on their jeans if I accidentally brush one of their shirts...
