When Liverpool win their opening Champions League group game 3-2 at Anfield, it tends to be good omen.
This was a game that got the juices flowing in a similar vein to that victory over Paris Saint-Germain three years ago, except this time the scoreline gave it the illusion of a contest.
Thanks to a Jordan...
Javier Mascherano and Xabi Alonso were a magnificent double act for the reds, with vital attributes that suited each other’s games perfectly. The balance of these two players were a joy to see, and we may be about to witness a similar midfield pairing evolve this season, that can become even more effective for...
When Ole Gunnar Solskjær became the Manchester United manager, it created a potential dilemma for the fans and the ex United players, especially those that are now pundits. The choices of David Moyes, Louis Van Gaal and Jose Mourinho all failed to bring the required glory of old to United, and a familiar face...
When Liverpool fans say that playing Leeds 'should suit us', this is why. Having been shut down by the low block of 10-man Chelsea prior to the international break, the Reds must have relished the space and the freedom they were afforded here.
That's not to say Leeds are a push-over. Some would point to...
There’s been so many different players that have threatened excellence, yet their eventual path has seen them achieve so little. Careers have been mapped out before their teenage years are complete, only for stalled progression, indifferent form and unlucky injuries to tarnish what could have been, and often times, what should have been.
The emergence...
Liverpool Football Club certainly boasts their team like no other with their many iconic players. Be it those ‘Famous Anfield nights’, ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ or the ‘Spirit of Shankly’, football fans the world over recognise the iconic Merseyside terminology. Thanks to the club's recent resurgence under Jurgen Klopp, he has restored Liverpool to...
A few weeks ago, Burnley rolled into Anfield with a certain and pleasing team sheet on view. As the starting line ups were confirmed, something became evident, which was the squad numbers rolling out of the Burnley roster. To see numbers 1 through 11 was a lovely sight, especially if you’re a particular age...
The older you get, the more and more you appreciate fantastic memories from your past. As children we would sometimes be baffled by our parents' preference for ‘ancient’ music, movies or celebrities from their own youth. As I close in my 40th birthday, I acknowledge that I have become that very person, and fully...
I recently watched the remake of the Magnificent Seven, a modern take of the original classic. The film revolves around impossibly unrealistic scenarios, a suicide squad of unlikely heroes, with a battle to overcome the odds and succeed.
The plot of the film is ridiculous, how the movie then plays out absurd, but the idea...
The history of Liverpool FC is littered with attacking brilliance, overflowing with characters, and allows the fans a chance to relive memorable moments with a smile. Recent years (predominantly the Premier League era), has seen a marvellous array of forwards grace the Anfield turf, and disagreements as to who was better than who, will...
I wanted to distract a little from the joys of the transfer window, so would like to share some thoughts on one of the reds' greatest ever central defenders.
Hint: it’s not Dejan Lovren.
In 2008 Chelsea and Liverpool met on four separate occasions throughout the calendar year. The first, on February 10th (towards the back...
The Liverpool Soccer Club moniker has been associated with fame and achievement since its inception in 1892. Liverpool is the most famous Professional club on the international stage, having won numerous European trophies. They have approximately 200 fan clubs in at least 50 countries, making them one of the most popular football teams in...
Liverpool were unable to defend their Premier League title last season. The Reds went through a disastrous period midway through the season, where injuries and poor form contributed to a steep decline.
Jurgen Klopp’s side were able to steady the ship towards the end of the season. Impressive end of season form, including eight wins...
With the window now shut, it’s a worrying and continuing issue that has seen Liverpool fall behind their immediate rivals in the summer's recruitment. With vast sums being spent by both Manchester clubs, Tottenham & Chelsea, it’s now becoming a worry to see a club at the level of Liverpool seemingly happy to sit...
2019/20 was the crowning season of a Liverpool team that had collected 99 points on the way to the title, beating the previous year’s 97 point total. Arguably one of the greatest sides in Premier League history, Steph Jones’ review of the team in The Guardian rightly asserted that the team played almost flawlessly,...
The nervous nature and anticipation of a big major game rarely sees the emotional ride end when the final whistle blows. There’s sometimes jubilation, now and then dismay, and here and there it’s bitter annoyance. Football can offer the best of times, yet deliver periods of distress that can be absolute weekend destroyers.
As match...
It’s no secret that Liverpool would benefit from a reliable centre-forward. Roberto Firmino is good for double digits in the Premier League and he brings more to the team than just goals. But it is becoming increasingly difficult to overlook the fact a ruthless No9 would make a difference.Â
Now, the dream signing for most...
The amount of young hopefuls to pass through the Liverpool factory is almost unlimited. Every fan will one day come across a name or a face as they watch some obscure early stage FA cup match, and see a senior pro still playing lower league football, that was was destined for the top.
I can...
All good things come to an end, it’s sad but true. There’s always that outstanding TV show you binged, that particular period of time that you loved, or even the sport you played, that eventually had to come to an end. Time catches up with everything & everyone, especially in football.
When you look at...
Having been born in 1981, I had the privilege of watching legends and players of such quality, and that European and domestic dominance was assured. John Barnes, Ian Rush, Peter Beardsley, Alan Hansen, Ronnie Whelan & Bruce Grobellelar were just some my first generation of Liverpool players, albeit at a very young age. My...
Every machine requires certain parts to work efficiently, some are the more intricate components, whereas some are simply the much needed pieces that help push the machine to where it needs to be.
Over the years Liverpool Football Club has had some truly magnificent midfielders that have held the captain's armband, helping to push their...
Football can be pure joy to the eye, with wonderful technicians (thanks Brendan) scattering the past and present of the game. I grew up watching the gliding destruction of John Barnes, mesmerised by his abilities. Later I would sit pitch side, enthralled by the elegance of Steve McManaman as chalk dusted his boots, and...
Liverpool continued their 100% winning start to the Premier League season with a 2-0 win over Burnley at Anfield.
Diogo Jota and Sadio Mane scored the goals in front of full Anfield house as the Reds, after a slow start, deservedly swept to victory against Sean Dyche's visitors.
Burnley, who were undefeated away to Liverpool for...
At 29 years of age, Mohamed Salah stands as one of the five or six best forwards in world football. His goal return since becoming a red is simply phenomenal. 126 goals in 204 games is world class, and with much still to come, we could be about to see him evolve into the...
Diogo Jota has a bit of a knack for not particularly playing that well but managing to find the back of the net. It is a handy trait to have.Â
He did just that against Norwich City in Liverpool’s season opener, scoring the first as the Reds romped to what was a relatively straightforward 3-0...
For a only a few players, they will (if they’re lucky) get that one offer to join a huge club, perhaps throughout their entire career. With Philippe Coutinho, it was Barcelona, for Craig Bellamy it was Liverpool, and even the returning Robbie Fowler was an exciting player for Rafa. Some moves you simply cannot...
Earlier on in pre-season, Liverpool journalists claimed Ibrahima Konate was likely going to start the season alongside Joel Matip in defence. It was something of a surprise to see Virgil van Dijk named alongside the former Schalke man in the starting XI against Norwich City on Saturday.
He'd come through the friendlies unscathed but it...
Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah, Sadie Mane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Marco Reus.
Above are just some of the former undervalued assets, or former prospects that were able to reach the pinnacle of football. All have three things in common, Jürgen Klopp being a link to all.
1 - Before their move to a Jürgen Klopp’s side, each was...
Expectations were high when Naby Keita turned up at Anfield. But can he be the kind of system player Jurgen Klopp expects him to be? The year-long gap between Keita becoming the Reds’ most expensive signing ever and becoming a part of the team created a lot of anticipation.
Fans may be finally ready to...
