Liverpool FC Opinion

Don’t Look Back in Anger

Almost exactly two years ago Liverpool fans witnessed a genuine watershed moment, a highlight in a season of giddy and vertigo inducing highs.  Now, just to be clear, we’re not going to dwell on history here; enough people tell us that we take nostalgia to unhealthy levels.  But just bear with me for a...

The Brilliance Of Emre Can

Emre Can, what can I say about him? He's one of the brightest stars currently in the Liverpool team. His ability to play a number of positions, whether it be wasted in defence, ala the Brendan Rodgers era or in his more natural midfield position makes him an invaluable member of the LiverpooI set up....

Home vs away form? A real concern or an imaginary problem

On Saturday, Jürgen Klopp’s blitzkrieg offence claimed its latest high-profile away victim in Manchester City. After battering an already-broken Chelsea 3-1 a few weeks back, Liverpool could approach the far more difficult proposition of an Etihad away day with renewed hope, a hope that was certainly not misplaced. By the end of the game, City’s...

Man City Smashed – The Season Starts Now…

Well that was bloody marvellous wasn’t it? Going to the Etihad this time around, given Chelsea’s continual struggles, was, on paper at least, the toughest assignment the Reds would have in the league this season. The fact that just after the half hour Jürgen’s boys found themselves 3-0 up, coasting, and seemingly able to...

Klopp Giving Liverpool Reason to be Quietly Confident

Glorious, swift, stunning, prepotent, magnificent. I could go on. The performance against Manchester City on Saturday evening was one thoroughly enjoyed by the entire fanbase; the current title favourites were dispatched in their own stadium by a rampant Liverpool side that could have easily ended up with seven goals. Having seen off all of...

Klopp Working Miracles with Lucas and Lallana

Liverpool is on the up, the players are playing out of their skins, the fanbase is united, Brendan Rodgers has gone and Jürgen Klopp is now in charge. Genuine footballing superstars like Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane and Tino Horn are being linked with the club and there is a real possibility that some of...

Football Fans: Adopting the Persona

I’m a great believer in the theory that some football fans subconsciously adopt the persona of the manager that leads their club of choice. How the mentality and outlook of the man that picks the team, the man that holds the fans very mood for the rest of the week in his hands, will...

Bringing The Belief Back

"After the goal on 82 minutes, with 12 minutes to go, I saw many people leaving the stadium. I felt pretty alone in this moment." Jurgen Klopp's words after Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace just before the international break. We are now just over six weeks into his reign as Liverpool manager and how we have...

Chaos-Kitchen: Shooting-up the Table

Delicate. Intricate. Profligate. Manchester City's candy-cane tower has come crumbling down. Forget City's Soufflé-style of calculated luxury: we've entered Jürgen's Black Forest Gateau of Mayhem. High-class  pomp has been decimated by working-class passion as the Moneyball-marauding FSG out-bought City's billions in all areas. On sponsors alone, Liverpool's Subway, Gatorade and Dunkin' Donuts deals dwarf against the likes of City's Nike, Aabar and Etihad...

Man City 1 Liverpool 4 – Observations from the huge win!

Resounding. Frightful. Adjectives you don't usually see used for an away side at the Etihad in a positive manner. Liverpool bucked the trend. I have seen many compare the mauling of Manchester City to the dismantling of Chelsea a few weeks back. On the surface of course there are similarities. Liverpool turn up in somebody...
