The Etihad Anomaly – time to move on from City

When Sadio Mane was given his marching orders at The Etihad on 37 minutes on Saturday, I, along with, I assume, many others, instantly felt a pang of inevitable defeat. Gary Neville agreed - the spectacle was over - the game was over - call me defeatist, but for me, I couldn't see any way back. Upon receiving...

FSG: The Next Seven Years

Liverpool’s complex relationship with their owners closed another chapter as the calendar turned to September. Despite the Transfer Window ending in relative disappointment, the club made several astute deals again this summer on the acquisitions they did complete as well as on selling end. The problem for most supporters is that they didn’t make enough...

Dispelling the Myth that Klavan is Better Than Lovren

Mention the name Dejan Lovren to most Liverpool supporters and you'll be greeted with various responses many of which will be particularly negative. "He can't defend." "He's not good enough for Liverpool." "Klavan's better than him." We all know that Joel Matip is our best centre-back by a considerable margin, the man just oozes class...

Liverpool v Sevilla Preview – Time to heal the wounds

The Details Venue - Anfield Referee - Danny Makkelie (Netherlands) Date & Time - 13th September 2017 @ 19:45 BST It’s amazing the effect that football can have on you. In the aftermath of Saturday’s collapse at the Etihad Stadium, it has taken me the best part of two days to finally gather myself enough to write this match preview....

Man City 5-0 Liverpool: A Tactical Breakdown

A brutal decimation unbefitting of a club like Liverpool, but one handed out nonetheless. I usually enjoy reviewing the game and scrutinising key points within it, but this was anything but enjoyable. In fact, only on my second and third viewing did I fully comprehend what a truly abysmal performance it was. For this analysis, I'm...

Liverpool FC: A Reality Check

Just 24 hrs ago, many of us were relishing the prospect of Mane, Salah and Firmino tearing apart the likes of Otamendi and Stones. 4 wins in 5 matches in August had all but made us title contenders. We had the "best" attack in the league. We had a midfield trio that out"pressed" anything...

Picking apart Liverpool’s lunchtime problem

Liverpool's thrashing at the hands of Manchester City on Saturday left the Red side of Merseyside feeling sick to their stomachs. One, two, three four and five, City brought the rain - not the scattered showers - after Sadio Mane was sent for an early bath. For many, it ruined their weekend. Losing at Saturday lunch...

Liverpool Players Active on International Duty

Premier League clubs are full of International players and Liverpool are no different. Their players depart for duty heading to various countries all around the world. This most recent international break has seen the World Cup Qualifiers hotting up and here we take a look at how some of Jurgen Klopp’s charges faired when...

Virgil Van Dijk – The Fake News Saga

Ok Reds, I can't take it any more. Three months of shallow and brainless analysis of the Virgil Van Dijk transfer saga and I've had enough. The information in the public domain simply doesn't make sense. There is no way Klopp chooses to enter this season with the present choice of centre-backs, does he? At least...

Liverpool’s Can Plan

With attention turning back towards the pitch and Liverpool’s nine game unbeaten run going into the match against Manchester City there was a perceptible lack of negativity in the LFC universe this week … Like clockwork, the media and social-media panic mongers filled that void with Emre Can’s contract status. The Reds’ midfield strongman is...

Does Klopp Want To Prove A Point Or Win Trophies?

Heavy Metal. Sometimes it gives you an adrenaline rush. Sometimes it blows your ear-drums out. Heavy Metal Football. Most of the time it has been great. Certainly entertaining. Competitive enough to get very close to silverware and has returned us to the Champions League. Against Manchester City the Reds came out with a formation made up...

Liverpool and the Lack of Fight

There are two ways to handle a defeat. One is to shrug the shoulders, assess the next few games and get on with things. After all, we play again soon and you’re going to lose from time to time. The other is to be so angry that it takes hours for the mind to...

Observations from Liverpool’s Etihad embarrassment

Liverpool were torn from pillar to post for around an hour after Sadio Mane's red card, losing 5-0 to Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. A goal from Sergio Aguero had broken the deadlock in a game that looked as if it could swing either way until Mane's right boot swung into the jaw of...

Manchester City 5 – 0 Liverpool: Player Ratings

A game whose result was decided by one reckless challenge and the Reds' heads just dropped. The Reds were royally whipped by an all star City team, leading to Klopp's heaviest defeat in his reign as Liverpool manager. (Considering how Liverpool and Klopp had given up on the game in the second half, we need...

Manchester City 5 – 0 Liverpool: City in Cruise Control

Why it’s time to forgive Coutinho

It’s time to forgive Coutinho. On social media, over the past few weeks, I’ve seen people chastise and criticise him. I’ve seen people spew in his direction some of the angriest vitriol I’ve ever witnessed. I’ve seen the love of his fans diminish, fading into, at best, ambivalence and, at worst, pure hatred. All this from...

Pressure on Joe Gomez to Shine at Centre-Back

Every Liverpool supporter has their own take on the Reds’ summer transfer window, with some pleased with the business done and others left disillusioned about missing out on certain key targets. Whatever your stance, one thing that seems unforgivable is not bringing in at least one new centre-back, with a move for Virgil van Dijk...

Liverpool Lucky To Have A Player Of Daniel Sturridge’s Calibre

Liverpool’s transfer window, whilst being rich in terms of the numbers of incomings, has been a source of frustration among many of the clubs’ fans with a lot of frustration being centred on the failure to land Virgil van Dijk after a well-publicised courtship. However, something the Reds’ fans should revel in is the fact...

Manchester City v Liverpool Preview – Key Battles

The transfer window is over, the international break is over. It is now time for some real football. And what a way to kick the Premier League back off, as Liverpool travel to the Etihad Stadium to face Manchester City. Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp will face off for the third time in English...

Liverpool’s Manchester Litmus Test

Most of the question marks over Liverpool’s ability to challenge for titles this season have been over their squad depth – and rightly so. But this implies that there is a general consensus amongst Liverpool fans that in general the starting team is good enough to compete with the very elite – at least...

Are We Fully Appreciating Klopp’s Record Against Rivals?

What has been the main narrative at Liverpool since Jurgen Klopp took charge back in October 2015? They can't beat the lesser sides. This has undoubtedly been a major issue, and one of the main reasons why a title challenge evaporated in such alarming fashion last season. In fact, it has been an achilles heel for...

Liverpool U23 boss Critchley on Woodburn’s “Wow” moment

To describe teenage Liverpool forward Ben Woodburn as a promising youngster with a great deal more to learn might seem an understatement following his exploits for Wales - but that is exactly how he will see it himself, according to one of his first and most recent coaches. Liverpool Under 23s manager Neil Critchley, who...

Manchester City v Liverpool – Livin’ it up at the Etihad?

The Details Venue - Etihad Stadium, Manchester Referee - Jonathan Moss Date & Time - Saturday, September 9th @ 12:30 BST So, the international break is over and ‘real’ football returns this Saturday. Liverpool kick the Premier League weekend off in the early game at Manchester City. This game has often turned out to be one of the...

Ben Woodburn – Minimum expectation, maximum reward

Ben Woodburn was born 77 days prior to the turn of the millennium. Ben Woodburn is now a goalscorer on debut for both Liverpool and Wales. Will England regret losing him to their neighbour? Only time will tell, because as of now, Woodburn is just a special talent, nothing more than that, nothing less. It...

After a Summer of Turbulence, Liverpool Must Now Reintegrate Coutinho

It's been a torrid few weeks for Liverpool fans regarding Philippe Coutinho. We've had continuous rumours, a fake back injury and a transfer request as the Brazilian looked to force through a dream move to Barcelona this summer. The Spaniards were desperate to land the playmaker and believed they had every chance in doing so despite FSG's...

A Guide to Jurgen Klopp’s Midfield Set Up

Thanks to the internet, football fans from all over the world are able to voice their opinions on any, and every, topic relevant to their chosen football club. The growth of social media sites, in particular, provides all fans with voices which, although generally considered a positive, can lead to debacles such as the...

Bookies expect Coutinho to stay beyond January

Philippe Coutinho is back and we are assured he will “give everything” for Liverpool this season. The Brazilian magician was at the centre of one of this summer’s highest-profile transfer sagas but the bottom line is he has remained a Red, despite Barcelona’s pesky persistence. Compatriot Ronaldinho is sure Liverpool fans will see Coutinho back to...

Analysing Liverpool’s Summer Window

It was a pretty busy window for Liverpool this summer, albeit less busy then some would have liked given Paul Joyce's remarks on the eve of deadline day. Reports of Jurgen Klopp splurging £175million proved to be widely off the mark in the end, with The Reds getting one deal over the line in...

FSG – Learning From Past Mistakes?

Things have changed a lot in Liverpool football club and in football in general since Fenway Sports Group acquired the Reds back in 2010. FSG themselves have evolved as owners after trying several different approaches in managing the organization within the club with questionable success. It is still too early to rate this summer's...

Liverpool’s Phenomenal Summer Transfer Window

So the transfer window is finally over. After months of scrutiny, Liverpool have their squad for at least the front half of the season and plausibly the entire campaign, given Jurgen Klopp’s January transfer record. So, with Mo Salah, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Andy Robertson, Dominic Solanke all coming in, not to mention Naby Keita next...
