Another week, another mixed set of results, another chorus of grumbling from Liverpool fans over their £32.5m striker. Saturday’s 2-0 loss at Upton Park provided the latest round of evidence in the trial of Benteke, a cloudy affair in which almost everyone employed by the club, from scouts, to former managers, to current owners,...
Eyes were widened and surprise stated as Liverpool’s lineup for the Leicester City game was confirmed, with Jurgen Klopp abandoning his usual 4-3-2-1 system since joining the Reds and matching up to the Foxes in a tactical sense with a 4-4-2.
Pre-game (and, for some unfortunate watchers, in-game) chatter was about how Klopp was affording...

A long time ago, in the annals of English football, there was a club... But this was no ordinary club.
18 League Titles, 5 European Cups and dozens of alternative trophies had launched Liverpool into the status of Global Superpower.
Having fought against common enemies...
When great attacking sides are mentioned, one quality above all springs to mind - pace. Barcelona’s front three of Lionel Messi, Neymar and Luis Suarez are synonymous with bursting runs past labouring defenders, while Alexis Sanchez and Eden Hazard lit up the Premier League last season as they left hapless opponents in their wake.
So...
We're coming up to the midway point of the season already. It's hard to really get a handle of what's happened so far. Depending on the day my opinion shifts from 'how are we halfway through the season already? It feels like it's just started' to 'how are we only in December? It's dragging'....
The Shackles are off Ladies and Gentlemen; our young guns are flying again!
Jurgen Klopp may have been right in putting the brakes on expectation, but how can you not be excited by what is unfolding before our very eyes?
1-6 at St Marys, 1-4 at the Etihad and 1-3 at Stamford Bridge are the kind...
It's considered the norm these days for Liverpool players to divide fan opinion. Reds manager Jurgen Klopp was supposed to unite a fractured fanbase but if you scan Twitter you'll find fans squabbling over players. There are consequences to not rating a player. You could state in December you think x player is okay...
Does He Really Need New Pliers?
When interviewed following his third from last game in charge of Liverpool, Brendan Rodgers identified a lack of quality ‘tools’ as the reason for his poor managerial record in 2015. “Give me the tools, I’ll do the work” were his exact words in the aftermath of September’s 3-2 victory...
Liverpool is on the up, the players are playing out of their skins, the fanbase is united, Brendan Rodgers has gone and Jürgen Klopp is now in charge. Genuine footballing superstars like Ilkay Gundogan, Leroy Sane and Tino Horn are being linked with the club and there is a real possibility that some of...
"Where are the goals going to come from?" was probably amongst the top five questions Liverpool fans have asked in 2015. It's not like there wasn't cause for concern either, saying the Reds looked blunt up front would've been polite. The toothless attack is a mixture of Daniel Sturridge having shares in the injury...
