Virgil Van Dijk has been not just one of Liverpool’s best players this season, but one of if not the best player in England. His deserved triumph at the PFA Player of the Year awards, coupled with the fact that he’s now a realistic contender for the Ballon D’Or, means that he is swimming...
I'll never forget the first time I spoke about Daniel Sturridge at length.
I was on holiday with my family in 2008, and in true father-son fashion a footballing debate was going on.
My dad was adamant that the state of English football was in a bad way - he was probably right, in hindsight -...
Jürgen Klopp said once that he likes his sides to play heavy metal football.
We have had many, many examples of this over the past three-and-a-bit years of his reign as Liverpool manager, with some incredible and memorable performances along the way.
We all remember some of the roller-coaster games of Klopp's Liverpool; Norwich 4-5 Liverpool...
Why do we sing our songs? Is it for nostalgia. Is it to give confidence to the players, to reassure each other? Is it to intimidate the opposition?
Maybe it’s all of those things, but after taking the title back to Anfield, we sing because it’s fact. Again.
We conquered all of Europe, would be met...
It’s always different than how you imagined it. Because imagination can’t possibly predict every emotion. The almost-overwhelming nerves in the build-up, the way your eyes close when the first rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone resounds throughout the Wanda Metropolitano, the sensation of suddenly being eight feet in the air when the ref blows...
Define ignominious: Liverpool's 4-1 defeat away to Tottenham in October 2017.
That dank autumn afternoon was Jurgen Klopp's nadir as Reds manager, at a time when the first few doubts were creeping on about this most charismatic of men.
While he wasn't under the kind of pressure many managers find themselves under at low points, frustration...
What a night. Liverpool are the Champions of Europe for the 6th time, following a hard-fought, stoically defensive 2-0 win over Spurs. This is a night that will go down in the history of the club, and a night that finally breaks Jürgen Klopp’s duck as Liverpool manager, winning his first trophy for the...
Told Gags I'd do the ratings regardless of the result, but come on, thank fuck we won. Just back from the parade myself. Did you make it? Not a big surprise if you did, given there were 750,000 fans of the Reds knocking about. Oh, apologies. 750,000 fans of the SIX TIME EUROPEAN CUP...
A lot of fear around the match at the weekend seems to stem from it being a final and anything can happen. Spurs are a dangerous team with many players who can beat you with a moment of magic if you allow them space and time. Kane, Lucas, Son, Alli even Eriksen - they...
What stage of your life were you at on May 25th, 2005, when Liverpool enjoyed the most famous night in their great history?
On a personal note, I was on the verge of taking my A-Levels, and can confirm that the following day was not spent in exam mode, but instead spent suffering from the...
