Are Liverpool The Right Club for Fabio Borini?

On-going speculation and several transfer links with other clubs has clouded what might have been a pleasant summer holiday for Fabio Borini.

Diamonds may be a girl’s best friend but the diamond is also starting to be crucial to Brendan Rodgers and his Liverpool team.

Proactive vs Reactive | Liverpool’s divided back four?

Monday was disappointing wasn’t it? After impressing for the majority of the first half, Liverpool went in at half time 1-0 down but with justification to remain positive that we could come back into it in the second 45. However, as we all know, it wasn’t to be and after 95 minutes we had been...

Losing Luis Suarez – is it a Big Problem?

The thought of writing this article was a no brainier.

Is Solo Sturridge Strong Enough?

We've all heard the rumours of how we are apparently in for every striker on the planet. Some names seem reasonable, others are somewhat... unrealistic.

The Lucky Lucas Shirt

Rumours suggesting that Lucas Leiva could leave this summer may be music in the ears to some, in large part thanks to the massive regression in form shown by the Brazilian since the two long term injuries he suffered, and in some way has never truly recovered from.
