Liverpool v Norwich Preview | Predicted Line-Ups & Stats

This is a great time for either team to be playing the other.  For Liverpool, the weekend brings a struggling-to-survive, newly-promoted Norwich that hasn’t quite got their feet off the ground.  The Canaries have taken down Sunderland and Bournemouth, but neither team is outside the realm of relegation fodder.  The Reds will feel more...

Brendan Rodgers: Presenting the Facts

For the dwindling number of Liverpool supporters who still had faith in Brendan Rodgers or were still willing to give him another chance this season, it seems the timid defeat away to Manchester United was the straw that broke the camel’s back. His backing amongst the fan base is now in Roy Hodgson territory. There...

The Importance of Jordan Henderson to Liverpool

It’s often said that you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone. That statement will certainly ring true with Brendan Rodgers, who is likely to be without his captain Jordan Henderson for a while after the midfielder travelled stateside to seek assistance with a heel injury. Liverpool’s captain has already missed three games...

How Seriously Should Liverpool FC take the Cup Competitions?

Before I answer the question of how seriously Liverpool Football Club should take the cup competitions, I think it is important to first do something that Liverpool fans are famous for: talk about our history; it is vital to understand the philosophies that this great club was built on. Going back to, in my opinion,...

Divock Origi – It’s Time To Give Him A Chance

Five Games in to the season and there are already calls for Rodgers head. 3 goals from 5 games is poor, however when you see that Liverpool have scored 2 or more goals in only 6 league games since January 2015, there is a deeper problem. The lack of creativity and general naivety from...

Manchester United vs Liverpool: The Autopsy

At the start of the season I thought I'd do a weekly tactical piece on the previous game. Primarily looking at the attack and how Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino were bedding in with their new teammates. The United game was horrific to watch and although I tried I couldn't really find anything tactically to...

Where has Liverpool’s fight gone?

May, 2005, 49 minutes past 11 was the first time in my life I cried at a game of football on television. Being 7 years old, it was the first time I was of conscious mind when my beloved Liverpool got their hands on some silverware, and better yet, the 5th European Cup. Doesn’t...

Bordeaux Sequence – Previewing Liverpool’s Europa Opponents

Liverpool travel to Bordeaux this Thursday on the back of one of the most uninspiring derby defeats in recent memory. Brendan Rodgers’ men will be looking to add some spark to what has been a flat start to the season, but wily Willy Sagnol’s side will be looking to pile further misery onto The Reds...

Derby Disaster: What Next for Rodgers and Liverpool?

After watching the game on Saturday, many are wondering what next? Where does Liverpool go from there and specifically, where does Brendan Rodgers do now? Many a Rodgers fan has seen their faith rocked by Liverpool's recent performances. Twitter erupted with anger and disappointed. Hordes have heaped themselves on the 'Rodgers Out' campaign after such...

Brendan Rodgers: “What are you doing?”

Stood in the middle of a bar in Huddersfield. United fans surrounding me, but my Liverbird proudly making it’s presence felt, or more putting on a brave face as I begin to believe a comeback was on the cards for a split second. Christian Benteke’s over head kick momentarily stunned the Mancs, maybe they...

FSG: The Caretakers Role coming to an end?

A desolate house gives off a bad first impression. You see the exterior and it's judged purely on that. You don't see what's beneath the cod web and boarded up windows. You look at the rickety, rotted beams that barely keep the house standing and think it's just been poorly looked after. Set foot on...

Emre Can, Young Foreign Players and the Blame Game

On September 4, 2015 Emre Can made his debut for the German national team. It is not often you have a young Liverpool player make his debut for the World Champions. So the rarity that this is calls for celebrations by all fans. Instead I found myself reflecting on a tweet of some days...

A Guide to Girondins De Bordeaux

Liverpool's Europa League draw wasn't the toughest all things considered. Barring the trip to Russia there shouldn't really be anything there to concern us. There's no reason The Reds shouldn't top that group but It'd be foolish to take these matches for granted. Many fans don't watch Ligue 1 and I myself only watched...

Five Strategic Keys to Champions League Football | Part 2

In Liverpool FC 15/16 | 5 Strategic Keys to Champions League Football - Part 1, we discussed two of the five strategic keys that Liverpool will need to fulfil in order to attain a top 4 finish and Champions League football, including; 1) the need to excel and execute in our plan to play...

Liverpool’s Horror Show Tactics

From a very early age we're all exposed to the 'happy ever after' theory. Beast gets the Beauty. Pinocchio ends up being a real boy. Rocky Balboa defeats everybody. Danny Ocean and his 10 friends get away after robbing the Bellagio Casino, and a random player winning a jackpot at Red Flush online casino. Liverpool beat...

Pragmatism has doomed Rodgers’ once magical Liverpool side

Clubs like Livepool, Man Utd or Barcelona have their own ‘way’, by which their club is meant to operate. These clubs have principles that define them; their identity empowers its players and managers to play a certain way, it strikes fear into visiting clubs, and it inspires jealousy in rival fans. Bill Shankly embodied...

Five observations from Man Utd vs Liverpool

Writing an article like this is never easy after a horrific viewing of an abysmal display against one of your biggest rival’s both for league positions and pride. To make matters even worse, I was surrounded by a family of Manchester United supports who jumped on my back (not literally) when it came to...

Liverpool’s Apple Pie Defence Lacking Basic Instinct

I should've been mad but that anger and resentment after a humbling loss subsides when it becomes a weekly occurrence, and it has with the Reds as of late. In the last 12 games we've conceded 2 and 3 to Manchester United, 3 to Crystal Palace, 3 to West Ham, 4 to Arsenal and...

Man Utd 3 Liverpool FC 1 – Player Ratings

Liverpool turned up at Old Trafford and did only that. The Reds put in a performance so shambolic that questions need to be asked of the team and manager. There was nothing noteworthy to be taken from this game hence the following player ratings are going to take a mighty effort to stay fair...

Falling Out of Love with Brendan Rodgers’ Liverpool

I can pretty much pinpoint the moment when I thought to myself ‘fuck me we’re back’. Tucked away in the far corner of a cosy Whitehaven golf club for my nephews christening, surrounded by family, pint in hand, transfixed by that most beautiful of things - the Reds in full flow. Christmas was a...

Dysfunctional Transfers And The End For Rodgers?

Since Rodgers has taken over at Liverpool 33 first team players have been signed on a permanent basis with a total of £270.50m spent. However, no significant improvement has been made. The first reason for this can be explained by the phrase “you have to spend to stand still”. This is best shown by Chelsea...

Flag Day for Liverpool Supporters

For decades Anfield has been synonymous with flags, colour and song. The Kop in full cry is probably the most marketable image for the club as it advertises the passion and uniqueness of the Liverpool support. Everyone has their own favourite flag, be it ‘JOEY ATE THE FROGS LEGS etc.,’ the more recent and...

Manchester United v Liverpool Preview | Predicted LFC Line-Up

It should be a bloody holiday.   Even if it's not ascended to the reverie of a day we can take off work, there surely will be bloodshed this weekend.  In one of the greatest rivalries in the history of football, we find mediocrity at the moment. Manchester United have yet to win convincingly in...

Should Liverpool Have Done More To Keep Steven Gerrard?

In the wake of Steven Gerrard’s revelation that he would have stayed at Liverpool had he been offered a job with the coaching staff, Neil Poole explains in simple terms why he should have been given the opportunity. In the book Animal Farm, there’s a cart horse called Boxer. He works his whole life for...

Retiring Your Support for Liverpool

There is an elephant in the room for many common and garden match-going Liverpool supporters. Where is your ‘line in the sand’ when it comes to following the Reds in a physical and on a geographical basis? How do you envisage life after Anfield? Bill Shankly hated the word ‘retirement’. It sounds so, well, so final...

Liverpool vs Manchester United – The Key Battles

Liverpool travel to Manchester United after the international break with an almost identical record after four games played. Both teams have seven points from their opening quartet of fixtures, having won two, drawn one and lost one apiece. Both teams also go into the game on the back of their solitary defeats so far. Liverpool’s...

What’s the plan for Flanagan? – Injury, Clyne & the Future

Under King Kenny in 2011, two young full-backs were given their first appearances for Liverpool in the Premier League. Whilst Jack Robinson, the club’s second youngest player to make an appearance, failed to live up to expectation and has since been sold to QPR, the other debutant is still at the club. Now 22,...

A Solid Spine Would Do Liverpool Just Fine!

I’ve watched a lot of football over the best part of nearly 20 years and I’ve seen some great sides, some played beautiful expansive football, whilst others adopted a more defensive approach where they’d be ruthless on the counter attack. I’ve witnessed so many great managers and tacticians orchestrate various formations such as 4-5-1,...

Jonjo Shelvey – The One That Got Away?

After Jonjo Shelvey's man of the match performance for England against San Marino on Saturday, I can't help but wonder whether Liverpool let him go a little bit too soon. When Liverpool signed 18 year old midfielder Jonjo Shelvey from Charlton Athletic in May 2010 for £1.7 million, it quickly became apparent that Liverpool had...

Are Liverpool still too reliant on Daniel Sturridge?

Eight new signings, near £90 million spent and it took a mere 4 games before it all started, yet again. "When Daniel Sturridge returns we'll start smashing teams." "We're just lacking Sturridge now, then we'll be putting teams away." Absence makes the heart grow fonder. Scrolling through Twitter I felt like I'd seen all of this before. I...
