Early Premier League win could help Liverpool retain it

With Premier League teams across the country leaping back on the horse to finish the 2019/20 season this week, there is much to play for. Liverpool require just six points to seal a first league title in 30 years, with teams such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Sheffield United scrapping for Champions League spots a...

Is forgotten man Minamino ready to star?

What's been the best performance by an opposition player at Anfield this season? It's obvious, isn't it? Takumi Minamino's masterclass for Salzburg in the Champions League was a joy to watch at times, even if he was doing his best to rob Liverpool of group stage points. The Japanese caught the eye throughout on a balmy...

Champions Elect.

We're past that stage now aren't we? That fear? That suspension of belief? We only sang "We're gonna win the league" with gusto after we beat United at Anfield back in January. Was it really only six months ago? It seems like an age seems like 30 years. Liverpool are going to win the league...

Do Liverpool need Philippe Coutinho?

It’s that time of the year again. With transfers being discussed, Philippe Coutinho is once again being linked with a return to Liverpool. It’s been a regular occurrence ever since he forced his way out of Anfield to secure a dream move to Barcelona. But that quickly turned into a nightmare.  He was nothing more...

Jordan Henderson: Liverpool’s Linchpin Leader

This past week marked the nine-year anniversary of Jordan Henderson's transfer from Sunderland to Liverpool. From a skinny right-sided midfielder -- who admitted to being daunted at sharing the same midfield as Steven Gerrard -- to a colossal leader of men, Henderson has come of age at Anfield and is the ideal player to lead...

Liverpool, football, and the return to normality

Depending on when you’re reading this, it’s about a week, or maybe less, until the season continues, and Liverpool travel to Goodison Park in a game scheduled originally for Monday 16th March. That game will now be played, three months later, on Sunday 21st June. I recently noted on Twitter, as Liverpool’s move for Timo...

How FSG treat Liverpool like an American sports franchise

A few years back now, I entertained the idea that football could soon follow American sports by essentially getting rid of transfer fees. With more and more players looking to move on free transfers, the next logical step was either inserting reasonable release clauses into every single contract or accepting that a player will...

Why Mohamed Salah is one of Europe’s elite

Since returning to the Premier League, Mohamed Salah has been utterly dominant. The Liverpool No.11 has claimed back to back Golden Boot awards and when the 2019/20 campaign was paused, the Egyptian had 16 goals to his name. A third Golden Boot was unlikely but not impossible. Remarkable considering he played a large chunk...

Liverpool’s Werner Swerve Could Strengthen Team Bond

Excuse the pun, but Timo Werner's decision to join Chelsea came out of the blue. The RB Leipzig forward publicly flirted with the Reds on an almost constant basis; notably taking time to flutter his eyelashes at Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp -- describing both the team and the coach as "the world's best" -- after...

Does Liverpool FC have a problem with institutional racism?

From the death of George Floyd to Black Lives Matter protests and the unceremonious dumping of the statue of Edward Colston into the Bristol docks, events across the world have put a magnifying glass up against how our society behaves when it comes to the treatment of ethnic minority groups. While clubs have sort to...
