Liverpool’s title chances under Klopp next season

Anyone mad enough to claim that the Premier League isn't the best league in the world will have another thing coming to them next season. The English top flight will have seven major players in the 2016/17 season, namely Manchester City, Manchester United, Arsenal, Tottenham, Leicester, Chelsea and, of course, Liverpool. Winning the Premier League...

Liverpool Supporters: Pessimistically Optimistic

Liverpool Football Club is a massive club, to say the least. The supporters are those who know it better than anyone. After all, we’re the ones who have witnessed the highs and lows over decades and decades. Players, managers, and staff come and go. But it’s us fans, who are the constant in the...

Criticising Klopp’s Debut season is Lazy

It's bewildering to me but there are some fans who are dissatisfied with how Jurgen Klopp's first season as Reds boss panned out. A run to the Europa League final littered with memorable moments and a League Cup final wasn't enough to appease an impatient, Premier League deprived bunch of fans. Those who seem...

What is “Success” for Liverpool FC?

Back to the Future As the dust settles on another domestic season we get an opportunity to assess where our great club is at, and the journey we can reasonably expect it to bring us on in the season to come.  As discussed on the LFC Daytrippers pod last week, some fans are happy to...

Mignolet’s Time as First Choice Liverpool Goalkeeper is Over

Liverpool Twitter is hardly ever united. There is always an argument or a disagreement which seems to fracture the fan base, even with Jurgen Klopp in charge. Yet on Tuesday 24th May 2016 the fan base was unequivocally unified as Liverpool announced that they'd signed Mainz 'keeper Loris Karius. The unity wasn't because Karius...

Who Will Be Liverpool Number One Next Season?

They say all goalkeepers are a little bit crazy. Then again, Simon Mignolet might be the exception to this rule. Steady, but rarely spectacular and for every calamity there’s a world-class save thrown in for good measure. He is a bookies worst nightmare; no-one can predict which Mignolet will show up on the day....

Buying Players vs Shopping for Clothes: The Similarities

Twice a year, football clubs from all over Europe get the chance to go shopping for players. And for fans it’s one of the most exciting moments of the season, because it could either make or break their season. You go into a store looking for a watch, because the one you have is either...

How Liverpool Can Improve Their Communications

Following on from Sam McGuire’s excellent analysis of the PR disaster that is Liverpool Football Club, it got me thinking of how Liverpool should improve their communications. Working in public relations, I consider myself to have a level of authority on the subject. It’s often difficult to watch Liverpool operate in a communications field, with...

The Curious Case of Mamadou Sakho

Being a football fan demands that you put your emotions on the line week in, week out. However while we often tell ourselves we won’t let the game effect us, we can’t help it. Being a football fan is an emotional bond. At this moment in time Liverpool fans are on an emotional come down....

Liverpool still haven’t mastered the PR game

"I'm looking forward to the new season with Bayern." - Mario Gotze, 23/05/2016 Liverpool aren't allowed nice things. Their potentially quixotic end to the season now a distant memory as Mario Gotze seemed to end all the rumours by committing his future, short-term at least, to current club Bayern. This news comes less than a week...

Jordan Henderson – Keep or Bin?

Jordan Henderson began the season as Liverpool’s new captain. The man to take over the mantle from Steven Gerrard and drive Liverpool on to new heights. He ended it as an unused substitute in the Europa League final and with big question marks over his future after starting just two more games than 35-year-old Kolo...

Liverpool FC Makes Sponsorship Deal With Betting Site and Casino Provider

If you love playing online games and you love football, something new is in the works for the both of these hobbies. Liverpool FC is actually currently making a sponsorship deal with a betting site and a casino provider. So if you love both of these worlds, they are coming together in a new...

Forget the Big Name Signings for Liverpool

As this memorable season for Liverpool comes to a close, thoughts begin to drift towards this summer’s transfer window. The press have been awash with transfer rumours and speculation for weeks and in turn, it’s fed the online shopping lists of fans with imaginative expectations of just what this summer holds in store for...

5 Defining Moments From the Reds’ 2015/16 Premier League Season

Yet another season of the Premier League has just ended with a new champion being crowned (how rare is that!) and Liverpool ending in 8th place (not so rare!). Once Liverpool changed their manager in October, it was always known that this season would not be where we would be competing at the top...

Why Liverpool Need to Keep Dejan Lovren Next Season

Dejan Lovren started the season as one of the most maligned players and in the eyes of the fans, the fifth choice centre back, behind Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Kolo Toure and harshly even Joe Gomez (Gomez came as a centre-back even though he can operate on the flanks and started the season as...

Not wanting Europa League Football is a mistake

There’s a train of thought currently steaming along that suggests not competing in Europe next season is actually a blessing for Liverpool and Klopp. That it was a Champions League or bust situation, and bust was worth more than a spot in the Europa League. It’s a train of thought that I won’t be boarding,...

Liverpool’s Next Season Syndrome

"Next season is our year." "We'll be better next season." "Just wait until after the summer." "The push for Champions League is next year." You've heard them all. I've heard them all. I've said most of them, or the like. Such is the life of a Liverpool Football Club supporter. Recently, always just within touching distance of what...

Victory in Defeat for Liverpool

Our second half capitulation against Sevilla in Basel was very painful viewing. Almost 24 hours on from the loss and our heads still replaying the Sturridge worldy and how different it could have been if not for that offside interaction and penalty claim. Then Moreno’s inability to make a tackle and thus, breath-taking destruction...

Can Liverpool really compete for Lewandowski?

Robert Lewandowski was the top marksman in the Bundesliga again with an incredible 30 league goals in 32 games for Bayern Munich. The 27 year-old striker has his critics in certain quarters but he is a true world class player at the top of his game. There is no doubt Lewandowski is reaching the peak...

What does the 2016/2017 season hold in store for Liverpool?

The disappointment of losing the Europa League Final in Basel may leave a different angle on the 2015/2016 campaign, but it should not take away the many positives that Liverpool have experience since Jurgen Klopp arrived at Anfield. A rollercoaster of fortunes and emotions may be the most fitting way to sum up the...

Liverpool Trophyless But Cup Still Half Full

Another final, another defeat. Many will wake with sore heads across the Liverpool family, as was probably always going to be the case. However, the sweet hangover cure of silverware and a spot in the Champions League will not be waiting on the bed side table. “Liverpool and European Cups are a match made in heaven,”...

A Look at Liverpool Target Loris Karius

Twitter was abuzz on Monday when news broke that Liverpool were 'closing in' on a £5 million move for Mainz goalkeeper Loris Karius. Does he warrant the hype or is this a familiar case of fans overhyping a target? The 22 year old German has had an extraordinary season with his club side as he...

A Statistical review of LFC’s 2015/16 Premier League Season

It's that time of the year again. I take a look at Liverpool's Premier League season from a statistical point of view. I did something similar for the 2014/15 season which you can find here although it's doubtful many will want to relive that season it's necessary as a point of reference. Liverpool's league campaign...

James Milner’s Impact On The Current Liverpool Team

A victim of his own versatility, his ability overshadowed by his dependability. Then again, you can almost guarantee that James Milner is one of the first names on Jurgen Klopp’s team sheet. The 30-year-old has flourished under the enigmatic German and has been one of the Premier League’s standout performers since the turn of the...

Klopp, Finals and Tragic Rom-Coms

It wasn't supposed to be like this. Liverpool's fairytale season wasn't supposed to end in heartache. Of all the movies out there it seems we took inspiration from Titanic, one of the few rom-coms that ends in tragedy. The scene was set. It could've been a remake of the movie "She's all that". Jurgen Klopp steps...

The Uniqueness of European Finals

The 1984 European Cup final was the first I can recall watching Liverpool in; I was only 8 years old at the time and staying at my Grandparents' house. I vaguely remember throwing a tantrum because I was sent to bed during the second half, despite my protestations that Liverpool were my favourite team...

Europa League Final Preview: Liverpool vs Sevilla

Liverpool face Sevilla in the Europa League final in Basel on Wednesday night, with a place in the Champions League next season the prize for the winners. Since arriving at the club, Jurgen Klopp has placed great importance on the competition, due in part to a disappointing Premier League performance this year. The Reds finished...

Home Comforts & The Anfield Factor

A few months ago, Liverpool had lost the League Cup final to Manchester City, on penalties, then a few days later they exacted a bittersweet 3-0 revenge upon Manchester City at Anfield. Arguably this illustrated Klopp's impressive ability to motivate his players, but when you consider that Liverpool played a weaker side in the...

Europe and the League – Klopp’s superb Juggling act

Liverpool's Premier League season petered out towards the end with all efforts going towards setting the players up to have the best chance possible of winning the Europa League. Reds boss Jurgen Klopp decided to field weakened sides in six of the last eight league fixtures, fully utilising the youngsters within the squad to...

Relive Liverpool’s route to the Europa League Final

Liverpool 0-1 Grazer AK – 28th September, 2000. Liverpool 0-0 Rapid Bucharest – 24th August, 2004. Remember them? Nope, me neither. Rarely do European campaigns begin with barnstorming victories and scintillating football. The two aforementioned results won’t live long in the memory, but the Reds ended each season with European silverware to their name. The same could be...
