"Just because everything is different doesn't mean anything has changed"
- Irene Peter.
Defensive frailties have been at the forefront of Brendan Rodgers' reign as Liverpool manager so far. The goals of last season papered over last season's cracks and despite the improvement since Christmas 2014, Liverpool are only 4 goals better off defensively than they...
I have always held FSG in high regard after their purchase of Liverpool Football Club. The manner in which they despatched their American compatriots, Messers Hicks & Gillett, was stunningly meticulous in it’s execution. Callous, cold and quite frankly ballsy to say the least. They came, saw what they wanted, and grabbed it from...
Many moons ago (roughly ten), last season ended in glorious failure, of sorts, for Liverpool Football Club and its fans. That failure (to get a point against Chelsea/to keep a lead against Palace) was however, very much tempered by the fact that nobody had truly expected us to ever have been in the position...
Philippe Coutinho was recently named in the PFA team of the year; but in expected style, not all agreed. It was questioned by some as to whether he deserved to make the line-up, but why shouldn't he?
In what has been such a frustrating and disappointing season for Liverpool, the Reds didn't make that stepping...
This season has been one of frustration on the most part, offset by early season excitement and a little bit of hope thrown in for good measure. I feel Adam Lallana epitomises this season completely.
Those of you who follow me will know I'm not the biggest Lallana fan. This is more to do with...
Nearing the end of a forgetful season it's easy to do one of two things; either remind yourself of the poor start of the season or at every given opportunity brag about the unbeaten streak we had at the start of 2015. In isolation both tell a completely different story but the season should...
Defeats are always hard to stomach, some more than others. Sometimes though, it’s not just about the defeats or the manner of them; it’s an accumulation of things that change the landscape.
For over 50 years, trophies have been the currency that Liverpool Football Club has dealt in and the sad fact is that 10...
Things are changing at Liverpool and it’s the start of a new generation. Steven Gerrard is moving to America after turning down a contract extension, Jamie Carragher now works alongside Gary Neville, once an arch nemesis, and young Jordan Henderson, is set to become the next captain of Liverpool football club.
Liverpool fans haven’t had much...
At around 2 pm on Sunday April 19th 2014, Aston Villa’s players will have looked at the individuals on Liverpool’s team sheet and thought: “You know what? We’re better than these.”
Tim Sherwood will have reinforced this belief, and sent his side out onto the Wembley pitch with plenty of confidence, a clear but simple...
Sunday's FA Cup semi-final seemed to be the perfect opportunity for Brendan Rodgers' Liverpool to answer many questions that had arisen over the course of the season. The pressure was mounting on the Liverpool boss and his neck was firmly on the line. The stage was set, fans had amassed from all over the...
Since Javier Mascherano left Liverpool for pastures new in Spain there has been a gap in the midfield that hasn't really been addressed. We've had the misfortune of seeing the likes of Christian Poulsen, Charlie Adam, Jay Spearing and Lucas Leiva all play that role with varying degrees of influence but they still fell...
It started with Mourinho.
It finished with Sherwood.
There’s a phrase that many seems to have adopted around Liverpool football club; weeks after the initial signs of a gravestone began to manifest itself around the persona of Brendan Rodgers; the term “for whom the bell tolls” seems to hover above his head like a wandering storm;...
So, does anybody know what happened to Brendan Rodgers?
You know the one I mean, right? The one that had the dossier that impressed FSG so much they broke the structure they had in mind to appoint him. The one that had an ethos that the Liverpool fans got behind straight away, the whole death...
"I've got no strings to hold me down, to make me fret, or make me frown. I had strings, but now I'm free. There are no strings on me"
That could well be the theme song for Liverpool's captain in waiting next season, Jordan Henderson.
For well over a decade Steven Gerrard has been the cornerstone...
In the space of a month, Liverpool’s season seems to have fallen apart. They’re out of the FA Cup and the possibility of a top four finish looks slim, although there is still hope. Liverpool currently sit in fifth place, on 57 points, seven points off Manchester City who are in the running for...
It's 19:23 as the Virgin Super Voyager speeds towards Chester. Should I be on this train? Quite frankly no, I had reserved seats on the 21:20 from Euston (sorry Virgin).
How did I get here? Well it all started on Saturday morning with a 4:15am alarm, a quick open of my birthday presents/cards and a 5:50 train to Crewe. After getting on the Virgin Pendolino...
When Valencia’s former manager Juan Antonio Pizzi announced the signing of Rodrigo De Paul last year, he knew what a special player he'd secured for the Bats:
“Rodrigo is the best prospect to come through in Argentina in the last five years. This is great news for Valencia.” “He’s a player who has proven himself...
Villa fans will be making the trip to Wembley with renewed optimism after a surprising 1-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur last time out. There is, however, an element of Jekyll and Hyde with the Midlands club - which side will show up? - the one that battered Sunderland 4-0 or the defensive shambles that...
Only just introduced from subs' bench, Andros Townsend looked on as the player who’d dispossessed him faded into the distance and fired a well placed shot past Hugo Lloris. Whilst the sight of a pacey left-back gliding down the wing to score at White Hart Lane may have stirred some fond memories amongst Spurs'...
Jurgen Klopp has certainly built up a reputation over the past few years and rightly so has many admirers throughout Europe. He managed to take Dortmund to great heights and implemented a style of play that the great Pep Guardiola has taken on at Bayern in certain games. Imitation is the greatest form of...
False starts. Many could argue Liverpool had a false start to this season but there was nothing false about Coutinho's performance as a false 9 against Newcastle and that can only be a positive for Brendan Rodgers moving forward.
Liverpool showed some arrogance and confidence in their win against Newcastle, especially in the first half....
Premier League proven vs Foreign League signings is a debate that continues to rage on. The transfer window fans the flame of this topic and the signings made, or not made, during those windows keep this topic of debate relevant until the next transfer window is upon us.
This isn't a new concept, not by...
The summer of 2014 saw Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers spending £117m in the transfer market in an attempt to boost the club’s title aspirations. After a season that saw the Reds finish second and qualify for the Champions League, the plan was to strengthen the squad in preparation for a crowded fixture list. Of...
Judging. There’s a lot of it going on lately. The manager, the players, the owners, and the judges themselves, are all being judged.
Football is about being a good judge. From the owner choosing whether or not to buy a club, to appointing the right manager, instilling the right philosophy, employing the right staff and...
One of my all-time favorite books is titled 'The Hover Car Racer' by Matthew Reilly, who incidentally happens to be my favorite author too. I have read this book around 15 odd times and I am sure I will read it a lot more in the future. The fast paced novel had its fair...
As per the story of the past 20 years, fans have been gifted the chance to sit in the hotseat and try their hand at one of the most desired but challenging jobs in the world. So, what type of manager are you?
Football Manager 15 means that you can now define your managing style...
Liverpool's highly rated central defender, Tiago Ilori, is now beginning to blossom at Bordeaux after a tough start to life on loan in Ligue 1.
A hamstring injury back in October against Reims, that consequently saw him miss around two months, curtailed what had been a decent start to his loan spell.
Since his return from injury, however, the...
Liverpool fans have utterly enjoyed Manchester City's rise and United's fall of late. That 'Aguero' moment back in 2012 got us in a frenzy of celebration and jubilation at the fact that Manchester United lost the league title to their bitter rivals. Why United and not City then? They are both Manchester teams after all. No, Liverpool...
It seems to me that a marquee signing means different things depending on who it is you speak to. Some will argue it's already a recognised star, some will say it's a player that takes your team to the next level but the majority of people will say it's an expensive signing.
The actual definition...
Brendan Rodgers, manager of Liverpool FC, rustles around his office after the most recent defeat. A 4-1 drubbing by in-form Arsenal has the gaffer feeling lost, without hope or will to go on. He battles this sort of self-pity by busying his mind with other things. By keeping the pain inside, no one else...
