Anfield, Europe, Liverpool – Here We Go Again

Liverpool, Anfield, Europe. It’s a combination that has a real history of magic. How many great teams have come to Anfield, expecting to get a result, and been summarily turned over, the sheer force of the stadium, the crowd and the team pulling through. To be fair, in my lifetime, at least, that has certainly...

How Andy Robertson symbolises the Klopp era

If ever you wanted to sum up how impatient and overly-critical the modern football fan is, just look at the flack Andy Robertson took after two average performances against Leicester and West Ham. These weren’t remotely poor displays, just adequate showings that included giving away a sloppy free-kick in the lead-up to Harry Maguire’s equaliser...

Liverpool’s two new, big money, acquisitions were expected to dominate the team sheet sooner or later, and the question of which...

Naby Keita – Our Midfield Missing Link

Building a team can’t be easy. Take a look at Manchester United. Take a look at Chelsea.
