“He’s big and he’s fucking hard.”
He was our Captain. He was our Leader. He was our “Never-Miss-Set-Piece-Taker.” Now, he is our biggest regret.
When Gerrard left for LA Galaxy, I was pleased. I was excited to see a new team, a new Captain, going in a new direction.
Maybe the disappointment of the 14/15 season was...
Since the departure of Luis Suarez in the summer of 2014, only one man has claimed the title of Liverpool superstar: Philippe Coutinho. The little Brazilian has twisted, turned, and volleyed his way into the hearts of Kopites since his arrival on Merseyside in January of 2013. His quick pace, creativity, and laser-like accuracy...

You can’t go a minute without hearing something about Klopp these days – and it’s no wonder. Even though he’s barely warmed his feet managing Liverpool, Klopp’s already shown that he knows what he does and that he puts his heart into this which is probably a big reason as to why everyone seems...
Prior to kick-off against Bournemouth there was an article from the Daily Mail on Roberto Firmino. I won't share the link because it's not worth your time but in this piece the writer states how our newest Brazilian is failing to live up to the hype, how he's had ample chances to impress (he...
During the latter years of his time at Liverpool, Steven Gerrard famously nicknamed Philippe Coutinho as 'the magician'. If that is the case, and the Brazilian does indeed have special powers, it may explain why he's gone missing so far this season.
Alas, he hasn't quite disappeared. His cheesy grin, flamboyant step overs and flair...
Philippe Coutinho has been the main topic of a lot of debates so far this season. The mercurial maestro is perceived to be in a lull of form and this inconsistency in his game is becoming all but too familiar for Liverpool fans. It seems whenever the Brazilian international is out of sorts then...
During the summer months, most agreed that the arrival of James Milner was a coup for Liverpool. The Reds beat off stiff competition from Arsenal to land the England international, who allegedly chose us because of the promise of regular first-team football in central midfield – although I’m sure the £150,000-a-week wages helped, too.
That...
Perception is a wonderfully subjective thing. You, dear reader, delightfully urbane aesthete that you are, may consider the ideal evening to consist of a few glasses of Pinot noir and a poetry reading from a celebrated bard, whereas you, equally treasured reader, might prefer a night of sticking sharp objects in your sensitive regions...
If you’re a Liverpool fan and unfamiliar with Jürgen Klopp and you took the twitter narratives as gospel, then it’s fair to suggest you are under the false illusion that Klopp will win us the league and by the end of the season we’ll be playing in Dortmund yellow circa 2010 because we’re definitely...
It’s that time of the year again. The time as a kid where you stick your hand into a bin bag marked ‘Zombie Brains’ and hope it’s jelly sweets and not a mash up of frog spawn and boiled eggs. Liverpool’s performances over the past 11 seasons on, or just after, Halloween have been...
Daniel Sturridge is a bit of an enigma. Potentially world class but rarely available. The main man when he plays but that's not much use when you've missed more games than you've started for the previous 18 months. His quality is unquestionable. His reliability is undesirable.
This is a recurring debate. Should Liverpool keep Daniel...
"If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something." – Eminem.
I like Eminem. I really do.
Hidden ironies, duplicitous meanings and hyperbolic analogisms are all things I enjoy. But when these lyrics conspire to become comparative with the future, the lyrics remain relevant and...
Sturridge: 42 goals in 68 games.
It’s a phenomenal record that outranks some of the most prolific and proficient strikers to ever spearhead a Liverpool attack.
However, 73 games in which Daniel Sturridge was sat, frustratingly, on the sidelines, not simply due to one key weakness in his frame either. Suffering from two ankle injuries, one...
Even before Jurgen Klopp took over as Liverpool manager the English media had been pushing the idea that this Liverpool side is average. The same media were the ones praising the signings of James Milner and Christian Benteke saying they'd take the Reds up another level. So how can a team finish 6th last...
Unless you have been living under a rock in recent months, you are aware that Jurgen Klopp is the new manager of Liverpool. While there's no doubt that Klopp's appointment has galvanized the Liverpool fan base and is sure to bring drastic changes, will it be enough for the team to reach the top 4?
No...
Liverpool's recent feeder club (if feeder means selling over-rated, over-priced or over-aged players, while you turn away after doing the deal, laughing in hysterics) Southampton visit Anfield for Jürgen Klopp's first league match at home. Koeman's Saints recently turned Chelsea over, at Stamford Bridge, to claim their third win in five matches. While the visitors...
This wasn't heavy metal football, this was more an acoustic set with a beginner.
We've all experienced it at some point in our lives and if you've not personally then you a family member or friend most certainly has. You're in a car that's been fairly good to you over the years, you stick the...
One of the biggest issues that Klopp faces this season is how to fit in all of his best players into the team; his philosophy requires width, pace, penetration and a strong four-man defence, he also likes to employ a 4-2-3-1 formation that allows for quick counter-attacks with width, and offers rigidity and solidity...
Just days ago, when an Arsenal fan mentioned Sanchez, Arsene Wenger or their huge stadium as their x-factor, I would have struggled to respond. I would have suffered a similar fate when a United fan talked about their riches, their experienced and accomplished manager. Or a Chelsea fan brought up their world class manager...
Raheem Sterling had burnt just about every bridge between Liverpool and Manchester when he finally got his £49m transfer in the Summer. It was galling for many Liverpool fans to see a him leave in such disrespectful circumstances: Sterling was our wonderkid, our future football superstar and current Nivea skincare star, who we had...
The Klopp effect, the Gen-Gen Pressing machine, the German Maestro’s organised mayhem. Hyperbole had been thrown around for a week in preparation for the enigmatic German’s arrival, and much had been made of Klopp’s tactics in the lead-up to the away trip to White Hart Lane.
“A wild one” was the phrase that stirred already...
“Will you always ask the players about the manager? If Lucas thinks I’m an idiot, he’s not going to be able to say here! Why are you asking self-answering questions?”

Relentless overexposure via histrionic media saturation; unreasonably heightened expectations arising from forensic, but premature analysis; crappy lookalikes hanging around in Audis and behind Pep...
The problem with history is that we always look back to it – and it claims we cannot surpass it.
As with history, so with football.
Teams that are “used to winning” don’t always win; and a crisis begins where people start losing faith in their “special club", doubting they could ever win anything again.
After the...
There's an ever increasing trend for sports journalists to ridicule fans that have broadened their horizons and taken an interest in leagues other than the Premier League. There's no clear reason for this, maybe they're annoyed that their articles filled with inaccuracies are getting called out by fans these days. It's hard to pull...
The Tottenham game was just a sign of things to come. Jurgen Klopp managed to stamp his personality and style all over the Liverpool display and he managed this after having the squad for a matter of days. There's no need to be conservative, you're allowed to be excited.
There have been plenty of superb...
Ever since Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Liverpool, everyone at the club has been giddy with the effects of Klopptomania. There was the long build-up to his inevitable appointment, the endless vines of his goal celebrations and then, eventually, the press conference.
Far from making excuses about not having the right tools, Klopp went to great...
Liverpool’s slow start to the 2015/16 campaign can be easily attributed to a lack of goals, (eight in nine games.) As the Anfield crowd continue to be frustrated by a seeming lack of ‘flair’ in the side, many may be wishing that the transfer board take a punt on a talented French player who...
It's a common theme these days for a Liverpool player to split the opinions of the fans.
Every single individual has their own template for when they're judging a player. What's good and what's bad. Nobody is impartial. Very few are right but that's the beauty of football isn't it, everybody has an opinion.
Whether you're...
