Looking ahead to February – the biggest month of Liverpool’s season

The January transfer window is over. Disappointingly for some, Liverpool ended up with Steven Caulker as the only addition to a squad that many believed needed more strengthening than what Ian Ayre and co. have managed. But there is very little to time to nurse those wounds, if there are any. The upcoming month is...

Is No Business Good Business? Liverpool’s January Window

"These are our new signings" - Jurgen Klopp as he prepares to welcome back Martin Skrtel, Daniel Sturridge, Philippe Coutinho and Divock Origi back to training this week. Frustration was rife on social media as it dawned on Liverpool fans that there wouldn't be a surprise last minute signing. No, Alex Teixeira wasn't going to...

Could Coutinho find himself frozen out of Klopp’s 1st XI?

Could Coutinho find himself frozen out of Klopp’s 1st XI? To say that Philippe Coutinho is a top footballer would be a criminal understatement. The diminutive Brazilian has the kind of ability that can bamboozle defenders and leave spectators speechless, his touch is a thing of unrivalled beauty, his long-range strike a sight to behold....

All Eyes on Cam Bran

Somewhere deep inside the Camp Nou is a cabinet. Inside that cabinet, somewhere, is an envelope. No, it isn’t filled with names of players who Luis Enrique feels will let him down this season. It isn’t filled with Javier Mascherano’s tax forms. It houses the scout report of a player. A player that goes by...

Rising Ticket Prices, FSG and Atmosphere

The Spirit of Shankly group released a statement on Monday 1st February stating the owners of Liverpool FC, Fenway Sports Group, "had chosen to increase prices (of tickets) for many". When this was happening wasn't disclosed and the price hike is yet to be confirmed, but £70 seems to be the touted price on...

The Importance Of Jordan Henderson

So captain Jordan Henderson is injured AGAIN. Surprisingly enough I'm not that surprised. I mentioned it before the Stoke City match on Tuesday night that maybe it was a risk playing Henderson so soon after the Norwich City match, which as we all know was a high intensity match. With the reoccurring injuries it...

Why Jon Flanagan is the Most Important Piece of Klopp’s Liverpool Jigsaw

When Stoke were welcomed to Anfield for the League Cup second leg clash last week the resulting game from a Liverpool perspective could only be described as drab and disjointed. The performance of the team lacked any of the fluid, free flowing football that rears its head every so often but seems to have...

Why Replays Aren’t So Bad This Year For Liverpool

The most recent result is in – after a fair performance by a young Liverpool squad against a full West Ham side, the FA Cup Fourth Round came to a nil-nil close.  West Ham confirmed the replay date shortly after the match: 9 February. Replay.  It’s a word Liverpool fans have grown to loathe in...

Alternatives to Alex Teixeira

With the looming figure of deadline day hovering beyond the next horizon, and Sky’s ever-present coverage seemingly set to focus on whether Liverpool will be successful in their pursuit of an attacker, specifically of Shakhtar’s devastating little Brazilian, questions are abound. Will Liverpool re-enter negotiations? Will Shakhtar be convinced into selling their prize asset?...

Liverpool Set for Midfield Revolution

The sixteenth week of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool inspired a good deal of irrational, kiss-the-closest-living-thing, stay-up-all-night-making-a-shrine-to-Joe-Allen joy. When our future selves recall the vicissitudes of the 2015/16 season, few memories will endure as brightly as the hysterical game of see-saw that was Carrow Road or Allen’s brief, fist-clenching fall from modesty as he wheeled away...

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly – Luis Suarez

I don't get it, I really just don't get it. I don't get the love affair some Liverpool fans, sorry the majority of Liverpool fans, still have with ex-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez. I for one am glad he's gone from Liverpool and that he is now plying his trade in La Liga. Some of...

Observations from Liverpool’s goalless draw against West Ham

Coming into their ninth game in twenty-nine days, the last thing that Liverpool would have wanted from this FA Cup fourth round fixture was a replay. But that is exactly what they got, after a goalless draw against West Ham United at Anfield. Here are a few points I picked up from watching the Reds...

Liverpool FC 0 West Ham United 0: Player Ratings

The FA Cup game ended in a stalemate; a result which would not have pleased Klopp at all, as it means they have one more additional fixture to play in an already congested season. This is how the players did on a cold night at Liverpool. Simon Mignolet (5.5) - Mignolet had a relatively idle...

Joe Allen: The Unlikely Hero

I’ve always had a soft spot for the underdog, or the less fashionable if you will. For the full backs of the world whose 90 minute endeavours flit by largely unnoticed aside from the occasional errors that cost us. For the unsung midfielder, trudging from a mud-filled pitch, steam rising from sodden kit and...

Lucas vs Norwich – Why a DM is the More Important Transfer Target

11:00 p.m. GMT, 1 February is just around the corner, and little transfer business has been done by Liverpool this year.  Marko Grujic is bought and loaned back to Red Star Belgrade while Steven Caulker, believed to be a centre-back while actually, secretly being a centre forward, is loaned in from QPR.  Yes, yes,...

Why the Hell Would Liverpool Need a Director of Football?

Jürgen Klopp’s Reds are on a march to Wembley for a showdown with the uber rich Manchester City to challenge for the Capital One Cup. If you’ve somehow been cryogenically frozen for the past 6 months, or abducted by sexy aliens from Mars in the past 6 months, you would be euphoric about that...

Are The Full-Backs at Liverpool Good Enough?

The full-back position has been a problem area for Liverpool since the days of Alvaro Arbeloa/Steven Finnan and Fabio Aurelio. Some may call it bad luck, others may say it's a cursed position, whatever the case Liverpool full-backs seem to have faults. Fans have witnessed the likes of Glen Johnson, Javi Manquillo, Jose Enrique, John...

Wild Celebration and Wembley Qualification…

...But let's not get carried away! Just four days after the dramatic stoppage-time victory at Carrow Road, Liverpool qualified for the Capital One Cup final on Tuesday night thanks to the perhaps unexpected heroics of Simon Mignolet in the penalty shoot-out. Not only are we on our way to ‘Anfield South’ once more, but those...

2001’s Liverpool vs the current side – Is It Possible?

Gerard Houllier's Liverpool achieved legendary status with their treble winning season. Can Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool manage the same feat? Is it even possible? Simon Brundish and I analyse the squads with stats for the 2001  team and the current side and try to see whether or not this current Liverpool team can achieve greatness. They...

Mamadou Sakho – The Great Debate

For years I've felt isolated. Part of a small minority, that truly believed Mamadou Sakho had the ability to go onto being one of the finest centre backs in the EPL, and a leader at the very heart of this Liverpool team. Whilst I wasn't alone in this view, I often faced animosity and...

Is Roberto Firmino finally showing he’s the Suarez Replacement?

Replacing Luis Suarez was an almost impossible task. The sort that nobody wants to take on because you knew it was going to be thankless. The Uruguayan sensation lit up Anfield during his time with The Reds. The goals, the controversy, the desire to win and the spectacular moments that will live long in...

Semi-Final Win Points to More Pressing Issues for Klopp

Liverpool players, former stars and fans worldwide were ecstatic following the Reds’ progression to the League Cup Final last night. It’s a chance of silverware for Klopp’s men, something that has long been missing at Anfield. Jurgen Klopp, though, will be far from happy with last night’s showing. It was one of the worst Liverpool...

Why Liverpool Should Pay Over the Odds for Alex Teixeira

Value for money. Paying over the odds. Cheaper alternatives. It's quite common now for fans, and the media, to believe they know the value of players and what their club should be spending when they they're looking to bring somebody in. The latest player to be put under a microscope is Shahktar Donetsk's Alex Teixeira. Plenty...

Observations From the Win That Sends Us to Wembley!

"Man City or Everton, it doesn't matter. We'll win the Cup." - Jurgen Klopp Our manager is fanning the flames. He's bringing back a trophy in his debut season. It wasn't particularly pretty and it won't be remembered as a spectacle but Liverpool once again dug deep to take something away from a disappointing performance. It's been...

James Milner, Time To Say Goodbye?

James Milner, seasoned England international,  Premier League winner, FA Cup winner, League Cup winner. These are all impressive stats from Liverpool's most high profile signing from last summer. And I'm sure there were some fans out there who thought the same as me when he was announced as one of Brendan Rodgers first summer...

Daniel Sturridge; is he worth the wait?

Following the most recent setback in Daniel Sturridge's recovery plan, social media was flooded with angry Liverpool fans, fuming about the 'obscene wages we pay to a professional hospital patient', venting their obvious frustrations at both the club, for not pushing upwards in the league, and at Sturridge who suffered his tenth injury whilst...

Lallana and Milner: The End of Vanilla

If Saturday's game took-place in a coal mine, the canary would have exploded. Lallana and Milner's lack of goals and assists has seen them recently labelled "useless", "awful", "overrated" and "beige." They had become representative of the modern Liverpool: bland, boring and mid-table. From about as much promise as a tub of Wall's - this Vanilla-Pod-Duo could only manage so much...

Dissecting Liverpool’s Defending Against Norwich City

The dust has settled on what the scoreline suggests will be looked back upon as a Premier League classic. But, in truth, Liverpool's game against Norwich ended 5-4 only because of some horrible defending, especially from the visitors. As I will try to show by the end of this piece, none of the four goals...

One For The Future, Brad Smith

Who would have thought that four games into his Liverpool career, young Australian left-back Brad Smith would have two assists and a goal for Liverpool. After initially rejecting a new contract with Liverpool last year, Smith's Liverpool career has gone from strength to strength. He is one of the academy players who has been...

Klopp’s Infectious Passion is Gaining Liverpool Points

In an era where managers are supposed to be cool figureheads on the touchline, it's a welcome change to see Jurgen Klopp sticking two fingers up to what's expected and just letting his emotions rule his head. He's once again showing why he is 'The Normal One', because what did every Liverpool fan do...
