Liverpool are in the Champions League final. Just keep thinking about that.
The Champions League final - the biggest match in club football - and Liverpool are in it, in their first season back in the competition since 2014/15.
It is a genuinely staggering achievement and one that Jurgen Klopp merits endless plaudits for masterminding. But...
Liverpool refuse to do things the easy way.
5-2 up in a Champions League semi-final ahead of the second leg, Jürgen Klopp would surely have been less restless had his side already confirmed a top four place, but alas the looming figure that is the tie in Rome seemed to provide enough distraction for Stoke...
ALLEZ. Liverpool lost 4-2 in Rome, but it was enough to send them through on aggregate, as they saw off Roma 7-6 on aggregate to reach the Champions League final in Kiev. But what were the key stats from a magical if horribly tense night for Klopp’s side?
Game of Two Halves
On paper, this was...
KIEV BABY! Get in you beauty, up the Champions League final Reds.
We didn't really do it the hard way if you think about it, there was no comeback needed for us and even when Roma scored to bring the gap back to one there was no time.
Of course, watching the game I was fully...
So, Liverpool are a bit good.
Jurgen's Reds booked their place in the Champions League final following a 4-2 defeat in Rome (7-6 aggregate win) with another supreme performance among Europe's elite.
Only Liverpool fans would have been worried walking into a second-leg tie three goals to the good, with two late goals for the Italians...
Allez, Allez, Allez!
I’m tempted just to give them all 10’s. OK, we lost the actual match 4-2, but one was a wacky own-goal and another a last second, questionable penalty. Bottom line is that we didn’t look overly nervous as a collective and we had enough players with supreme performances to get us through....
Killer whales. Orcas. The most dominant force in the ocean. They could feed on tuna, penguins, small children, anything really. But what really seems to get an orca going is a nice, fat sea lion.

A lot has been made of Liverpool’s depth issues recently, and particularly in attack. There are good reasons for this, as Liverpool have drawn three of their last four league games, two of them 0-0, as they attempted to balance crucial Premier League and Champions League fixtures. I myself wrote an article on the...
The news of the sudden departure of Zeljko Buvac comes as a surprise to many. Personal reasons have been cited but the full details are currently unclear. Whether Buvac returns next season remains to be seen. The timing isn't great, particularly as the Reds go into the remaining handful of games that will define...
So, a video wherein a contract was signed without looking, and said person proceeded to leave the room whistling ‘Allez Allez Allez’.
Liverpool’s announcement of Roberto Firmino extending his contract for five more years was about as Roberto Firmino as it could get.
Firmino isn’t about being normal. Be it his role on the...
With the summer fast approaching and Liverpool’s march towards Kiev in full effect, injuries are shining a light on Jürgen Klopp’s worrying lack of depth. A devastating long-term injury to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Danny Ings’ glaring lack of cutting edge in comparison to the men he usually replaces off the bench and Emre Can’s likely...

A disappointing goal-less draw at home to Stoke following the Lord Mayor's show, as Lineker put it last evening. But a point nonetheless and a point which should go a long way to securing top 4, come the end of the campaign. The real pressure is on Chelsea and that's ready-made for our approach. The...
The Premier League trophy is one of the most prestigious trophies available in England which has only been won by 6 teams since the formation of the league 1992.

Reds High-Flying Attack Brought To Earth
Liverpool’s normally scintillating attack ran into a brick wall against Stoke. On paper, there was nothing wrong with their attacking performance, with twenty...
Funny isn't it. Tuesday night saw one of the most free-flowing attacking performances Liverpool have produced this season, possibly ever under Klopp. Running riot against Roma, five goals in the Champions League semi-final was no small feat; an indication of what this side are capable of in the final third.
The contrast between that performance...

The game got off to a steady start with Stoke tending to be more positive than expected. The mystery about Liverpool's line up was sorted with Trent Alexander-Arnold lining...
A performance that makes you wonder why you bothered getting up for it in the first place.
Yes, Liverpool have got bigger fish to fry at the moment, but in a season that's been defined by European nights it seems a little odd that we're not more worried about making sure we're in the Champions...
Liverpool’s irrepressible front three once again stole the show as the Reds gloriously ripped Roma apart in the first leg of their Champions League semi-final but, for 80 minutes at least, it was close to a perfect team performance.

Aside from the last ten minutes of the past two matches, everything is looking rosy in Liverpool-land. Sunday night Mo Salah was awarded the PFA Player of the Year award and, of course, Tuesday night ended with Liverpool holding a 5-2 advantage going into the Champions League semi-final away leg. Things are going so...
The home leg against Roma brought with it tragic stories that you never want associated with a football match. The terrible consequence is that many Liverpool supporters either will avoid the trip to Rome or won't be able to enjoy it because they'll be on a alert. Liverpool, Roma and UEFA are meeting to...
If ever a night encapsulated a team. Liverpool took their season to new heights with a thrilling, brave, brilliant performance at Anfield, smashing Roma to all four corners of the ground as they took a 5-0 lead in a European Cup Semi-Final. And then, well, you all know what happened next. Lovren switched off,...
What do the summers of 2002, 2009 and 2014 all have in common? Liverpool ballsed up every one, that's what.
On those three occasions, the Reds had a wonderful chance of kicking on after near-title-winning campaigns, only to come crashing back down to reality after recruiting poorly and allowing rivals to pull clear again.
