An Evening With Rodgers

I met them both at the Stadium Bukit Jalil press box when the 2nd half started. Duty calls, you see. I was adamant that I spend the 1st half before with my family, eager to impress upon my two elder girls and their cousin sister what it meant to immerse themselves in the game...

Stoke City v Liverpool Preview – Predicted Line-ups and Facts

The Premier League returns this upcoming week, and our beloved Reds begin the campaign with a grudge match away to Stoke City.  After The-Match-That-Will-Not-Be-Named closed out the 2014/15 season, we go again to the Britannia to face the Potters.  The pressure mounts every passing day, but so too does the excitement for league football...

It’s time to get dirty – Liverpool need some bite!

Cast your mind back to the last time Liverpool played at Stoke. Yes, that game. 'The 6-1', as it's become known. The humbling at the Britannia provided no finer example of the need for a streak of nastiness under Brendan Rodgers. A team being humiliated in this fashion by supposedly inferior opposition should have been...

Liverpool Summer Holiday Series – Wunderbar Bundesliga!

As part of the AI Summer Holiday series, I've gone to the German Bundesliga to identify 3 players who I believe would improve the current Liverpool team. Benedikt Höwedes I initially thought it would be pointless identifying an upgrade on Martin Skrtel after he signed a new contract and appears to be the front runner to...

What type of left back do Liverpool really need?

It's an unwritten rule that managers tend to like two players for every position within their squad. The Liverpool squad as a whole hasn't looked this healthy for years but we seem to be lacking a second left back. The links to Lucas Digne may have stemmed from this. It's easy journalism. Liverpool need...

How will Liverpool Line-up vs Stoke?

With the season opener getting closer and many transfers completed already it's now when fans and journalists start looking at how the team may line up. Obviously injuries could play a part and new signings could happen but generally 99% of the players here now will be those in contention for a start against...

The Mario Balotelli debacle is bad for business

One week before the Premier League season kicks off and James Pearce's Blood Red article made its appearance on the Liverpool echo website. It was supposed to be about Rickie Lambert leaving but that wouldn't have caused controversy so for an added bonus he decided to have a pop at Mario Balotelli. He quickly...

The ‘Awkward” Parisien | Mamadou Sakho

When Yannick Bolasie was roasting Dejan Lovren on Gerrard’s last Anfield appearance memories of the six consecutive away clean sheets that ended in April had long faded. The not so assured defending of the early season had returned. Coinciding with that period was the loss of Mamadou Sakho to injury. The Parisien who had...

Season Preview: Liverpool 2015/16

The summer break often has mystical powers when it comes to football fans. Any disappointments from the previous season become fading memories and the positives can be somewhat embellished; a few new signings and the magical optimism returns. The excitement builds as your team travels to the four corners of the world to play...

Jordan Henderson – Defensive Midfielder?

With the season just around the corner many fans have started naming their 'Dream XI' for the season ahead. Sometimes you'll see these though and think yeah that'd be boss on Football Manager or Fifa. This is real life though and you have to consider the tactics and the shape. In the last week...

HJK Helsinki 0 Liverpool 2 | Tactics & Player Review

Liverpool goals - Origi 72', Coutinho 77' There are no player ratings as it's pre-season, but here's a look at the tactics and player performances from Liverpool's pre-season game against HJK Helsinki. All pre-season caveats apply. Simon Mignolet Didn't have much to do. Came out for a corner early on and got nowhere near it. Made a routine save...

Do Liverpool Have Squad Depth in Midfield?

Much has been made this summer about Liverpool buying in bulk again. Many fans believe we now have the numbers to compete in the many competitions we'll be involved in this coming season. The question is however not 'if' Liverpool have the numbers but whether they've got the requisite quality? After all, numbers don't...

Do Liverpool Have Squad Depth in Defence?

Much has been made this summer about Liverpool buying in bulk again. Many fans believe we now have the numbers to compete in the many competitions we'll be involved in this coming season. The question is not 'if' Liverpool have the numbers but whether they've got the requisite quality? After all, numbers don't always...

Heroes Of The Past – Bruce Grobbelaar

Character. A word that the majority of Liverpool fans are sick of right now. Probably because a certain someone has singlehandedly managed to suck all the joy out of it. However, the definition of the word that I am referring to is "the quality of being individual in an interesting or unusual way". When...

Liverpool Summer Holiday: Holland – Not Just Windmills and Clogs

First, check out the other Liverpool FC Summer Holiday pieces – in Brazil (by James Nalton) and in Italy (by Srikanth Bala). Close friends and people who generally read my tweets know that I’m an avid fan of the Eredivisie and the Netherlands national team. It may not be the most competitive league out there,...

Main Stand’s Naming Rights: Good or Bad?

It's clearly a good thing, who are we kidding? Rumours broke in the media that Liverpool were looking to sell the naming rights for the new stand that's under construction. You'd assume this would be a positive and fans would react accordingly so but apparently it's "small time", "plastic" and "beneath a club with such...

Good Signings but Where is the Defensive Plan?

Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino, Danny Ings, James Milner, Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Bogdan, Joe Gomez and the returning Divock Origi have all been added to the squad this summer in quick time. Great credit must go to the club for quickly bringing in their chosen targets. Whilst many will debate on whether these signings represent...

Are Liverpool in a Perpetual State of Transition?

Evolution is inevitable. In football and in everyday life you change to adapt. So what's the difference between transition as a club and evolving? Why are some teams praised for adapting whilst others use being in transition as an excuse? Since Brendan Rodgers took the helm of Liverpool FC it feels like 'Liverpool are in...

How do Liverpool win the Premier League? ‘The Bottom 14 Teams’

How do Liverpool win the league?  A little too ambitious? Perhaps. But I feel it is better to aim for the stars.  If you drop short then you are guaranteed Top 4 and that coveted Champions' League spot.  Aim for Top 4 and miss and well........ We all know what happens next.  Let us...

Exit This Way: Spending Over, Awaiting Departures

Christian Benteke's arrival brings total newcomers to seven and expenditure to £69.8 million. It makes for a crowded dressing room, but with August almost upon us and spending completed, Liverpool desperately need a clean-out. They're often messy. Just as contracts give clubs great platforms when selling, players can equally sit back and run down lucrative...

Lovren’s Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Dejan Lovren is mentally weak. I don't like making assumptions or accusations like this, especially when they're towards people I don't personally know, but this is just something you can't ignore. All players want to be loved but Dejan Lovren seems like the sort that needs positive reinforcement to function. Less than one week after saying he...

The Five Contenders to Become Liverpool’s Vice-Captain

A short while ago, the club announced the inevitable and Jordan Henderson was officially unveiled as Liverpool Football Club's new captain. It was hardly a closely kept secret, but it was certainly music to the ears of Liverpool fans around the world. The turnaround from the central midfielder - from a onetime makeweight in a...

James Milner – Adding Another Level to the Liverpool Midfield

James Milner's move to Liverpool was a poorly kept secret. It was more of a matter of when and not if he'd sign for Liverpool. His signing once again split an already fractured fan base. Yes, he arrived on a free transfer but wages and signing on fee were rumoured to be a fairly handy...

Goals, Goals, Goals!

So the new season is nearly upon us. Just over two weeks to go until LFC can begin to pick up the pieces of a shambolic end to last season and try to instil confidence in themselves and the loyal fan base. New signings and coaches are settling in and the fans are trying...

Video: Coutinho, Ibe and Markovic take on The Redmen TV!

The Redmen TV, in collaboration with Vauxhall Football present Liverpool players Phil Coutinho, Jordon Ibe and Lazar Markovic taking on Redmen TV’s Chris "The Cat" Pajak. The players have 5 seconds to score, but will they?! It seems the lads had a great laugh recording this and we're sure it'll appeal to you all! Important to...

Benteke vs. Firmino – Let’s have a gander, shall we?

In lieu of pissing off yet more Scousers I have decided to tone down the abuse and cast a more critical eye. Fuck knows how it’s going to turn out. One confirmed impressively early and the other at the centre of yet another drawn out, big money move; Roberto Firmino and Christian Benteke represent two sides...

Ray Clemence | Heroes of Our Past

Let’s start by being a little contentious for the younger generation who never saw the man play, or – at best – have seen little bits of his performances on YouTube and official LFC merchandise: Raymond Neal Clemence was the best goalkeeper I ever saw, in any team, ever – better than Banks, Shilton,...

Danny Ings – A shrewd summer signing in the shadow of Benteke?

On January 30th I wrote an article on the site titled "Danny Ings isn't that offensive". It was the day after the rumours began about the 22 year old joining Liverpool this summer and Twitter was having its daily meltdown. Fast forward 6 months and Danny Ings is a Liverpool player, has already opened his...

The Ghosts of Pre-Season Past

Pre-season is upon us with all the thrill, excitement and hope that comes with it… Okay, maybe not thrill and excitement but there’s hope, there’s always hope right? That’s what kills us, every year, every pre-season a player rises from the shadows stringing together a series of quality performances only for that glimmer of...

Lights, Camera, Action — Gerrard’s Hollywood Premiere

It has been quite an exciting week filled with firsts for Liverpool icon, Steven Gerrard.  It began July 11th, with his highly anticipated debut for the Los Angeles Galaxy.  Making his first home appearance in an International Champions' Cup match-up at the StubHub Center against Mexican power Club America.  Though the fixture itself wasn’t...
