The Sterling sale, is this the (new) Liverpool way?

Raheem Sterling split the opinion of an already divided fan base. The divide started at the beginning of the 2014/2015 season. The belief we had in 2013/2014 was taken apart, piece by piece, as the stars of that team left, one by one, and the loss of identity happened at an alarming rate. Brendan...

Manquillo vs Flanagan | A Statistical Comparison

Are some fans biased? With the emerging news of Javier Manquillo’s untimely departure, the question is, are some of us wrongfully in favour of non-foreign imports? In consideration of a recent article from the Liverpool ECHO in which they got fans to vote for players they would like to keep or sell, I will examine...

The Wildcard – Divock Origi

Is this the end for Mario?

One suspects that Mario Balotelli gazed upon Roberto Firmino with the green eyes of envy as the Brazilian attacker was cited as Liverpool’s newest saviour following a £29 million move from Hoffenheim in June.

Brendan Rodgers and Young Players

Heroes of our Past: Peter Beardsley

It was the World Cup in Mexico 1986, I was at home watching on tv, I believe it was England v Poland and my attention was taken by this awkward looking guy up front; I was mesmerised by him, dribbling past opponents and picking out the passes. I wanted to know his name and...

Bobby Adekanye in Profile: Not Another Wonderkid

Apparently he's a wonderkid, he's the next Arjen Robben, he's a future superstar. But actually for most Liverpool fans, he's an unknown. He may have brought the 'wonderkid' title with him, but the 16-year-old's off-field drama has attracted almost as much attention as his touted talents.

Sean O’Driscoll – Similar but Different

It's finally here. Pre-season officially began on July 6th. The 'big' news many ITK's predicted never actually arrived. Despite Callum 'credential' Wright saying a Dubai based company would buy the club they inevitably didn't. The manager wasn't replaced by a certain German. It was kind of nice how straightforward it was in the end...
