This is not my first article on Fernando Torres on this site. I had written one when he played at Anfield during the Steven Gerrard testimonial some time back. You can read that piece here.
As you can see, I am a huge fan of Torres; a Torres fanatic would sound a bit more apt...
Have you all managed to stop laughing?
It took me a while too but I'm serious, that really is the opinion of a select few muppets on Twitter who are eager to write off the young Serbian.
I know what you're thinking. It's an easy comparison to make what with both being strikers, right? Oh, no,...
Even after spending over £110m on player recruitment last summer it looked as though Brendan Rodgers was never sure of what his best XI was. More often than not he seemed desperate to justify the validity of those acquisitions that was displayed by his decision to stick with Dejan Lovren even though it was...
The Liverpool players returned to training this week ahead of their pre-season tour of Australia and South East Asia. The pre season is now an opportunity for the clubs to gain exposure in a new market and increase their global fan base, but its also one of the most important parts of the year...
Liverpool are interested in signing Internacional’s 18-year-old Brazilian midfielder Allan Rodrigues de Souza, with recent stories suggesting that a £500k deal is all but done.
The club spotted the player during the Frenz International youth tournament in Malaysia and Indonesia earlier this year, where a Liverpool squad made up of youth players including Sergi Canos,...
Last season, full-back proved to be a problem position for Liverpool, but in Nathaniel Clyne and Alberto Moreno there is reason to be quietly optimistic about having two quality players in place for the foreseeable future.
The list of players to fill in on either side of the defence in 2014-15 was seemingly endless. Aside...
It's finally here. Pre-season officially began on July 6th. The 'big' news many ITK's predicted never actually arrived. Despite Callum 'credential' Wright saying a Dubai based company would buy the club they inevitably didn't. The manager wasn't replaced by a certain German. It was kind of nice how straightforward it was in the end...
Call me miserable, and rest assured you won't be the first, but there's an underlying apathy towards Liverpool Football Club at the moment. I mean, even after the acquisition of Bobby Firmino, as pleased as I am, I couldn't help but revert back to my repetitive, crestfallen self. Be it the result of the...
Comparing Gerrard and Beckham’s MLS Impact:
Global icon David Beckham arrived in Los Angeles in 2007 and took his place amongst the myriad of stars in Hollywood. The poster boy for both Armani and English football was set to begin playing soccer in a very young developing league. It was the perfect storm for marketing...
Joao Carlos Teixeira essentially auditioned for a move to Anfield and got it. His standout performance against the Reds in the now defunct “NextGen” series in the 2011/12 season caught the Anfield hierarchy’s attention. In February 2012, the former Sporting Lisbon youth star who had been tagged the “New Deco” in Portugal was signed....
With Brendan Rodgers backed by FSG and secure as Liverpool Manager who is going to accompany him and who will wave goodbye. As we know there has already been two cut throat departures of backroom staff, Colin Pascoe and Mike Marsh fell victim to last season’s shortcomings. Brendan’s court is going to be a...
The academy is in place for the clubs to use the elite youngsters to subsidise their first teams and then sell the players that aren't quite Liverpool quality for a decent price and use that money to reinvest.
As Liverpool fans we're always hearing about the next big thing coming up from the academy to...
Fume. There is lots of it going round at the moment. The capture of Roberto Firmino reunited the fanbase and gave us all something to shout about and look forward to. Since the announcement, the ongoing pursuit of Christian Benteke has re-opened the cracks amongst fans which then firmly split open when it was...
Sam McGuire wrote this article before jetting off to Egypt and it links in nicely with the Sean O'Driscoll rumours.
The season is still two months away from the opening game but people have already started asking others how they think the team will line up next season. One thing the majority have mentioned is...
So it looks like Nathaniel Clyne will be Liverpool's sixth summer signing of the season. The infamous 'transfer-committee' have worked tirelessly this summer to ensure that Liverpool's transfer dealings get done early before the start of pre-season. James Miner and Adam Bogdan (free transfers), Danny Ings (Tribunal fee), Joe Gomez (£3.5 million) and Roberto...
Shouts for a defensive-midfielder (or more commonly termed as ‘DM’) has never been louder than it has in the summer of 2015. Gone were the days of having a defensive stalwart in midfield – the days of Graeme Souness, Dietmar Hamann, and Javier Mascherano. Varieties of midfielders have since occupied the deepest spot in...
Tony 'Bad news' Barrett shattered the tranquillity that the Roberto Firmino signing had brought to Liverpool FC twitter by announcing on Thursday that Liverpool were still very much in for Christian Benteke and they were hoping to get the transfer fee for the Belgian down to the £25million mark.
Cue the floods of Christian Benteke highlight...
With the current occupant of the Liverpool number 31 number looking to be on their way out of the club it looks as though the club have already identified a player to take it over: Kevin Volland.
Someone at Liverpool has been playing Football Manager. Not long after the announcement of a certain Roberto Firmino...
Major League Soccer is building quite a bit of a buzz throughout world football recently. With the growing popularity of the game in the US, we can expect to continue to see a massive growth in the product’s quality. The key contributing factors being the migration of talented players on the pitch and tactical...
Outstanding technique, mature tactical understanding and quick feet, Roberto Firmino is everything Liverpool wanted. Off the back of his 22-goal, 12-assist season, the hefty fee of €41m might have been more justified. Despite Firmino's final season in blue being a more tepid affair, the excitement surrounding the Reds' new playmaker is justified.
The swagger and...
The Redmen TV, in collaboration with Vauxhall Football present Liverpool FC players Phillippe Coutinho, Raheem Sterling, Jordon Ibe and Lazar Markovic facing up to the RMTV skill challenge:
“Dizzy Pens!”
Each player must spin around 15 times before attempting to score past Liverpool Fan and Redmen TV presenter Chris. Sounds easy right? Right?
Producer Thoughts
“I am absolutely...
In the first part of this series which tactically analyses Philippe Coutinho in various formations, systems, and structures, we examined the Brazilian magician in the 2013/14 diamond midfield within a 4-4-2. Check it out here. However, for the second part, I decided to look at the 3-4-2-1 formation in which Liverpool utilised in during...
Earlier last week an account I follow on twitter tweeted a message.
“ First day in a new job today. Got bullied for being a Liverpool fan and couldn’t defend myself”
I’m sure we’ve all had a similar experience, either in school, college or in the work place and been the butt of many a joke...
Liverpool FC have this morning announced that they have agreed a deal with Hoffenheim for Brazilian International Roberto Firmino. The signing has been met with a mix of shock and joy on social media as Liverpool rarely conduct their transfer deals with such speed.
Firmino had been coveted by many clubs across Europe in the...
Disarray: a state of disorganisation or untidiness.
An apt word to describe the current state of affairs at Liverpool Football Club at this moment. A disastrous season has thrown the club into a state of limbo and no one can quite predict what the owners next move will be. Obviously, we are not privy to...
The Germany U21's manager Horst Hrubesch told us all yesterday that Emre Can's future at Liverpool was in midfield. This despite being Mr Versatile in his debut season at the club, this to the detriment of his form.
"I was in Liverpool and they confirmed to us that Emre Can would be taking up (Steven)...
For those who don't know what bobby-dazzler means I'll give you the definition:
A person or thing considered remarkable or excellent.
It's a very befitting description of the Brazilian international who has been recently linked with a move to Liverpool, Roberto Firmino.
The 23 year old would be considered an excellent signing, remarkable if you consider...
The Oxford Dictionary defines x-factor as “a variable in a given situation that could have the most significant impact on the outcome”. X-factors tend to be the difference between teams that win trophies, those who fail to make top 4 and those that end up being relegated. An x-factor of some sort is therefore...
Raheem Sterling, just the mere mentioning of his name evokes a wide range of emotions from football fans all over the world, especially Liverpool fans. He's a player who now divides opinions on his talent, but seemingly unites opinion on how he's handled himself over the past six months. It's a shame just how...
PFA Player of the Month for February 2015, LFC Players’ and Fans’ Player of the Season, and PFA Team of the Year. Four individual awards in a year is a remarkable feat, to say the least. With the cherry on top that is to finally cement a place in the Seleção – it’s been...
