Dejan Lovren...
He’s improved quite a bit under Klopp, but he’s still a player who divides opinion. There’s even been talk, both on Twitter and from mainstream journalists, that he’s the centre-back Klopp trusts most, and that he’s the one who will partner Matip next season. Not everyone holds this view, however – a competing...

The draw. This is where it really starts. The fabled legend who you can’t quite recall doing something remarkable alongside the official from UEFA reminding you of something from the Eurovision Song Contest. There won’t be any “dooze pwaan” for anyone here, just fate… and possible destiny. By the time the sixth...
I’ll cut straight to the chase: very few Liverpool players receive bipolar judgments from the Kop, and Daniel Sturridge is no different. “Sell him, keep him; bench him, play him” – the hymn that goes on rhythmically throughout the season without an end in sight.
There’s no doubt in my mind that Jürgen Klopp adores...
When Liverpool's starting XI for their quarter-final was announced the first thing many journalists looked at was the fact star forward Daniel Sturridge was on the bench. You could hear them furiously bashing on their keyboard as they raced against one another to announce that Sturridge was dropped. If a player drops down to...
Liverpool fans were infamous for their 'next year will be our year' statement. However, for the past decade, the phrase associated with the fans has slowly morphed into 'Liverpool's summer transfer window is their biggest in years'. The two phrases are of course linked. Fans of the Reds are forever harbouring the belief that...
An Unfamiliar Face
Last summer I heard we were buying a young, quality defender from Charlton Athletic. Admittedly, I had never heard of Joe Gomez. I dug a little deeper to find out who this kid was. I wanted to know why Liverpool had swooped early to acquire Gomez, reportedly from under the noses of...
If one is to type the word, ‘Liverpool’ into a google search, said one will be met with a definition telling you that it’s “a historic maritime city in northwest England, where the River Mersey meets the Irish Sea” - allow me to tell you that this definition is wrong. In reality, a ‘Liverpool’...
You can see the images now. A slightly disheveled, sleep-deprived, Jürgen Klopp emerges from his office in the middle of the night. The dim lights cast shadows on his maniacal face as His assistant, Mr. Buvac, silently stalks in the background. They both watch on, as lightning strikes and thunder crashes. There in the darkness...
It's ingrained in every single one of us from birth. It's second nature. It's inbuilt.
Bias.
No matter how fair we all try to be we look at things with rose tinted glasses from time to time and it can't be helped. If you see a nice pair of trainers in a colour you dislike they're...
A draw at home to Spurs. It's not the worst result but given how the game progressed, Liverpool fans must be disappointed not to be walking away with three points. Both teams went for the win and although Liverpool tried their very best to give the ball away to Spurs on many occasions, it...
