Remember those blues standards where the poor unfortunate warbler always seemed to have been abandoned by his beloved? Remember how he was invariably quite annoyed about this turn of events and had therefore picked up his ol’ gee-tar to pen said morose ditty? Well, I couldn’t help but be reminded of those powerful tunes...
It is a sign of the changing face of football in this country that the match between Liverpool and Manchester City was seen as much as a clash between two coaches as it was between two groups of players.
The media narrative surrounding the match painted this as the first time that Jurgen Klopp and...
When was the last time an opponent took on Liverpool, played their natural game and got the better of the Reds?
When did a game finish and you genuinely thought, “they’ve gone toe-to-toe with us there, and deserved their win”?
It has barely happened in 2016/17 to date, if at all.
Arsenal were their usual selves on...

Jürgen Klopp leads his Liverpool side into their third fixture in seven days on Monday, as Liverpool visit Sunderland looking to keep up the pace with Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table.
THE DETAILS
Match: Sunderland vs Liverpool
Venue: Stadium of Light
Date: Monday 2nd January
Time: 15:00 BST
FORM
Liverpool's good form continued with a superb defensive display, winning 1-0...
Sadio Mané has been a surprise blessing for many Liverpool fans. Despite his inconsistencies from past seasons still being seen in shades thus far, the Senegalese wide-player has been a great addition to Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool side. Needless to say, he’s gone beyond proving himself to the Anfield faithful, many of whom had doubts...
Liverpool's 1-0 victory over Manchester City was a big step in their title bid, confirming the progress they have made this season.
Simon Mignolet - 7
Did well when called upon and kept Liverpool ticking with his distribution. Not much to complain about since he took up the reigns from Karius.
Nathaniel Clyne - 7
Clyne is perhaps one...
And so the time is upon us once again.
As December draws to a close, the sense of excitement and anticipation increases with the prospect of the of the January transfer window opening once more. Twitter is abuzz as the rumour mill goes into overdrive, irritating clickbait articles spread like a common cold and everyone...
With another trip around the sun completed and the festive period behind us (by the time you read this), let’s look at the Red year and see exactly what we have and haven’t learned.
January
A brand new year lay ahead. A time for renewal and rejuvenation. A chance to draw a line under everything and...
Liverpool's New Year's Eve tie against Manchester City has already been noted as a "6-point" match, and with Chelsea already sitting atop the table, with a 6 point gap between them and nearest rivals, Liverpool, which will likely remain when considering Chelsea's upcoming fixtures, this fixture has the potential to go a long way...
The last five league matches provide something of a snapshot of the season so far for Liverpool. There has been the good, 4-1 against Stoke 1-0 against Everton and 3-0 against Middlesbrough, the bad, a draw against West Ham and the downright ugly as Bournemouth came out with a 4-3 win.
Inconsistent form interspersed with...
Liverpool close a record breaking year out with a mouthwatering clash against Manchester City on New Year's Eve, one which could go a long way to decide who gives Chelsea the biggest challenge at the top of the Premier League table.
Jürgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola, previous rivals in the Bundesliga, will meet each other...
It’s not a sentence Liverpool fans would have expected to hear this season for various reasons but they did after that emphatic 4-1 win against Stoke. The majority of this squad are the same players labelled as bottlers over the past two seasons but with the pressure on they showed an almost alien resilience....
Is there a reason to buy players in January? Isn’t it better to show your true believe in your own squad and the players you have right now and wait until the summer, when there is more time for everything?
I believe that any sort of signing helps in a certain way, even if it’s...
It's cliche I know but a year in football is a long time. If you compared December 2015 and December 2016 they're almost unrecognisable.
After the Boxing Day fixtures in 2015 Liverpool were in 8th position with 27 points and a -1 goal difference. Watford and Crystal Palace where both ahead of the Reds and Everton...
Liverpool put in a strong display at Anfield against Stoke, as the Potters were dispatched, in a 4-1 victory. Jon Walters gave Stoke an early lead before Adam Lallana and Roberto Firmino sent Liverpool into the break the happier side.
A Gianelli Imbula own goal and Daniel Sturridge's first Premier League goal of the season...
For all that he's done throughout his career there are still people who believe Jurgen Klopp is a one trick pony. There's a misconception that his playbook had just the one page; the blitzkrieg approach. Pundits and media alike questioned the long-term viability of it because teams who sat back reportedly nullified it. After...
Imagine not being able to love both Steven Gerrard and Xabi Alonso at the same time. Or Sami Hyypia and Jamie Carragher. That would be mad, wouldn't it? Bizarrely, however, this is the position we find ourselves in with Liverpool’s current midfield generals Georginio Wijnaldum and Emre Can - two brilliant but hugely contrasting...
The recent victories against Middlesbrough and Everton have thrust the usual names into the spotlight. Adam Lallana took the headlines in the North East and, a few days later, fans of both colours were all about Sadio Mane, either with a deep, nourishing love in their hearts or with a ‘jammy redshite bastard’ tone.
I'd...
“I am a Liverpool player and what the manager asks me to do I will do. Ultimately, if he thinks that is the best thing for the team then I will do it.” James Milner, August, 2016.
There it is. The quote that, for me, cements the fact that what we have in our experienced,...

On the first day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me,
Jurgen Klopp’s appointment at LFC
On the second day of Christmas,
My true love sent to me,
Two Derby wins,

On the third day of Christmas,

And Jurgen Klopp’s appointment at LFC

Twelve months ago, Liverpool were sitting ninth in the Premier League table with just twenty-four points from the first seventeen games. Jurgen Klopp had been in charge for just two months, and hadn't really had the effect that we all hoped. In fact his record was worse than his predecessor Brendan Rodgers, averaging just...
Liverpool host Stoke City on Tuesday in a bid to deliver a late Christmas present to their fans, in the form of three points.
In a packed festive schedule full of high-profile fixtures, this one is likely to go a little under the radar, but it's an important one for the Reds to win in...
Without Daniel Sturridge, Liverpool would not have beaten Everton at Goodison Park. It really is as simple as that.
The 27-year-old was introduced late in the day at the home of the Reds’ local rivals, and every time he got the ball, it felt as though something may happen.
He looked bright and unpredictable, and you...
So, here it is, Merry Christmas reds, and what a superb early present we got this past Monday with our win across the park in the dying embers of the game vs our Merseyside rivals.
Sadio Mane sparked jubilant scenes in the away end with his 94th minute winner vs Everton, but what was more...
For the first time in six years Liverpool don't play a game on Boxing Day. In 2010 it was only because bad weather didn't allow a game at Blackpool, that the Reds not play on 26th December.
But this time the revenue and the money from television has given the fixtures a spin, and the tradition of...
It's been quite the entertaining year as a Liverpool supporter. Here are my end of year awards for 2016 for Liverpool FC, in conjunction with OneFootball.
Best XI
Coutinho Firmino Mane
Can Henderson Lallana
Milner Sakho Matip Clyne
Karius
I've gone with Karius in goal because I think Liverpool have had good results on...
When Georginio Wijnaldum signed for a fee of £25 million, many saw him to be another attacking midfielder within the side, raising questions about what he could bring to the table given the current array of talent already at Klopp’s disposal.
During his Newcastle days, Wijnaldum’s form was hugely inconsistent. Dipping in and out of...
Learning to Love the Fat Lady’s Tune
When Sadio Mané reacted fastest to the rebound, breaking Everton hearts on Monday night, he unleashed the most primal act in all of us. If you weren’t at Goodison, then, like me, you were up off the couch, fists clenched with the most guttural of roars leaving your...
