Adam Lallana’s a funny one, isn’t he? He throws in a sexy little Cruyff turn one minute and follows it up with a weak shot. He draws gasps from the crowd as often as he does groans. His Liverpool career to date has been the very definition of stop-start, as niggly injuries have struck just...

“The first thing you need, maybe in life, is a stable defence.” He said, enthralling the world’s Red collective. “Because you can only stay confident in a game when you know not each offensive move of the other team is a goal. That's the first thing and when you start a development nobody starts a...

"If you want to be happy, be." Leo Tolstoy "You're in pretty good shape, for the shape that you are in." Dr. Seuss An unusual thing can happen when one is confronted with the disquietingly fragile nature of one's own mortality. Instead of becoming maudlin and resentful of the unseen forces threatening to extinguish life, sometimes the reaction...

While it's arguable as to who is the top dog in Liverpool’s strikers – whether it’s Daniel Sturridge who is the favoured spearhead or Christian Benteke who leads the pack – one thing that’s for certain is that they are different types of players.

The diminutive Brazilian hasn't had the best of times since his beautiful long-range winner at Stoke City on the opening day of the season. So what has been the issue for Coutinho? Lack of options in front of him? Lack of...

You all know, I'm no advocate of Brendan Rodgers.  There are have been several articles and podcasts that I've been on where I've slated, bemoaned, and even be-damned our former manager. But, if we're honest with one another, we wouldn't be in this current position without him. Going back a little, we were a club that...

Jurgen Klopp hasn't had it easy since taking over as Liverpool boss. He's had to cope with an injury crisis  of unparalleled proportions. It's not often you have your three first choice strikers out injured as well as your captain. Not only this though, he's had to put up with the British media way...

“Bück dich, befehl ich dir.  Wende dein antlitz ab von mir. Dein gesicht ist mir egal. Bück dich!” – Rammstein, “Bück Dich.” 60% possession. 20% conversion. 100% killed-it. The Heavy Metal Juggernaut has arrived. If people thought Klopp was going to iron-out the creases, then they’ve got more than they bargained for. He bulldozed them. This was a...
