The Ghosts of Pre-Season Past

Pre-season is upon us with all the thrill, excitement and hope that comes with it… Okay, maybe not thrill and excitement but there’s hope, there’s always hope right? That’s what kills us, every year, every pre-season a player rises from the shadows stringing together a series of quality performances only for that glimmer of...

Year 4 Really is Brendan’s Year 3

So much has been written and said since Liverpool's 2014/15 season petered out with the abysmal 6-1 away defeat to Stoke City that it's hard not to cover old ground. Much of it was targeted at Brendan Rodgers and how he should pay for the disappointment by losing his job, after all Brendan had said...

Manquillo vs Flanagan | A Statistical Comparison

Are some fans biased? With the emerging news of Javier Manquillo’s untimely departure, the question is, are some of us wrongfully in favour of non-foreign imports? In consideration of a recent article from the Liverpool ECHO in which they got fans to vote for players they would like to keep or sell, I will examine...

The Wildcard – Divock Origi

Amidst a congregation of voices and accumulation of opinions regarding the way in which Liverpool tackle the upcoming 2015/16 season; one which looks increasingly difficult with every rival reinforcement, much disputation has been given to the area up the front of the pitch, the one where Liverpool fans have both been spoiled and agitated...

Lessons from Sterling Saga: Pay Coutinho What he’s Worth

So the talented but petulant Sterling and his agent are gone from the building. We have in exchange a whopping £49 million and one less trouble. But this is not the time to sleep and gloat. Aside making sure the funds are well spent to improve the team it is time to ensure that...

After a disappointing 2014-15, The Reds remain among the outsiders for a top four finish this time around. Brendan Rodgers had...

Brendan Rodgers and Young Players

I was listening to one of our new signings last week giving his views on the club and manager. I tend not to listen to these interviews conducted by the club press department as they can sometimes sound like incessant propaganda you might hear from North Korea, but one line made me think. “The...

Bobby Adekanye in Profile: Not Another Wonderkid

Apparently he's a wonderkid, he's the next Arjen Robben, he's a future superstar. But actually for most Liverpool fans, he's an unknown. He may have brought the 'wonderkid' title with him, but the 16-year-old's off-field drama has attracted almost as much attention as his touted talents. Full name: Habeeb Omobolaji Adekanye Age: 16 Birthdate: February 14th, 1999. Position: Left-sided...

Lazar Markovic: The hipster Milan Baros

Have you all managed to stop laughing? It took me a while too but I'm serious, that really is the opinion of a select few muppets on Twitter who are eager to write off the young Serbian. I know what you're thinking. It's an easy comparison to make what with both being strikers, right? Oh, no,...

The Centre Back Conundrum – Rodgers Must Settle for Consistency

Even after spending over £110m on player recruitment last summer it looked as though Brendan Rodgers was never sure of what his best XI was. More often than not he seemed desperate to justify the validity of those acquisitions that was displayed by his decision to stick with Dejan Lovren even though it was...
