Liverpool FC Opinion
Liverpool and the music scene are inextricably linked. Music and football too are the closest of bedfellows. Liverpool F.C. is synonymous with song and musical theatre through the medium of Gerry Marsden’s anthem; the famous rolling strains of the song from Carousel and those iconic words of love and support, You’ll Never Walk Alone. It […]
For Liverpool, Thursday’s trip to the Etihad peaked before it had even begun. The side who had come out on top last season in the most agonising circumstances were reduced to rolling out the red carpet for the most dominant champions in Premier League history as they took to the field. The final score was […]
Liverpool have already felt the brunt of the financial pinch caused by the ongoing pandemic. Long linked with Timo Werner, the Reds — who were either unwilling or unable to match the financial package on offer in West London — were beaten to the signing of the German international by Chelsea. The prevailing sense, as […]
The very best teams don’t sit on their laurels. The very best teams don’t let winning slow them down. This Liverpool team have already demonstrated that to an extent. They took the valour of winning last year’s Champions League trophy and used that to push them on to an unprecedented Premier League performance, securing the […]
Hahaha, you wouldn’t actually believe how pleased I was when that stoppage time Riyad Mahrez goal was ruled out by VAR. I don’t know about you, reader, but 5-0 looks so much worse than 4-0. You’re halfway to ten goals at 5-0 up! Anyway, here’s my first ratings piece since Liverpool were declared champions. In […]
“Part of me can’t help but think that the side that beat us to win the league by a point have strengthened while we’ve stood still.” That’s what I tweeted on 7 August 2019. Manchester City had just broken the bank for a big-name full-back again, this time Juventus’ Joao Cancelo. Earlier in the summer, […]
The ongoing global pandemic has already had a big impact on football finances. With games returning behind closed doors, clubs have been deprived of matchday revenues, in terms of hospitality, ticket sales, and other streams of income, such as club shop sales. Additionally, and more impactfully, television rebates — even given the fact they have […]
Somehow, it was inevitable that it ended this way. Not with a roar that had been pent up for thirty years, not with a glorious cavalcade, not even in front of any fans. In fact, there weren’t even any red shirts on the pitch at the end of the ninety minutes that confirmed Liverpool as […]
Well they did it. It’s over. Liverpool were officially labelled Premier League Champions as Man City slipped up at Chelsea, losing 2-1 and giving Liverpool a 23 point lead with seven games to go. This is the first time in my lifetime I’ve seen Liverpool win the title and for many of you it’s likely […]
As much as you could learn next to nothing from Liverpool’s return to football from their pandemic hiatus in the drab 0-0 Merseyside derby draw at Goodison Park — a game played with the tempo of a pre-season friendly — it did reaffirm something that many of their fans knew: The Reds need a natural, […]
