Trace your mind back about 14 months and a huge amount of trepidation surrounded Liverpool's acquisition of Andy Robertson.
Alberto Moreno's hit-and-miss form had called for an upgrade at left-back, with plenty of exotic-sounding names across Europe touted as ideal replacements, such as the forever Liverpool-linked Ricardo Rodriguez.
Instead, Jurgen Klopp opted to sign a scrawny-looking...
Andy Robertson's journey to becoming Scotland skipper and an Anfield regular following in the footsteps of Tartan team icons like Alan Hansen and Kenny Dalglish is a curious one.
Released by Celtic in his early teens for being too small, he's proved the Bhoys academy coaches completely wrong by forging a top-flight career on both sides of...
Patience isn’t a word that gets heeded much in the modern era of football.
Instant gratification has been normalised and expected, and signings are often cast aside as “flops” in as short a space as six months. And that’s fine because some signings don’t work. But, if one casts their mind back to the final...
Liverpool aren't technically top of the table, surpassed by Chelsea on goal difference as the sun goes down on this Premier League Saturday. The Reds are, however, undefeated, having only allowed two goals in five and eased past Spurs in London. Liverpool now have more away points against top-six opponents than they amassed in...
Liverpool did enough to see off Spurs 2-1 in an exciting game at Wembley. But what were the key stats from Liverpool’s fifth win in five league games?
Spurs’ Defence Falls Apart
Liverpool ended up scoring twice, with both goals contributed to by shocking goalkeeping errors. But it could and should have been more for the...
7. The number of combined league games lost by Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade Crvena Zvezda last season.
91. The number of points Napoli picked up in Serie A last season.
108. The number of league goals scored by PSG last season.
0. The number of fucks you should give, I'm giving or Jurgen Klopp...
I must confess that I was amongst those potentially frustrated when Liverpool decided not to spend big money on a left-back last summer, instead plumping for Hull’s Andy Robertson. However, once I did some digging on Robbo, as I have several friends who support Hull, the overwhelming response was that it was a very...
Every season we band about how ‘it’s our year.' Liverpool will finally land that elusive Premier League title, surging to the top with Jurgen Klopp’s scintillating philosophy of football. Things never really pan out that way, though.
This year feels different mind you. The Reds now have the depth of quality; Shaqiri, Lallana, Sturridge and...
Having spent £40m on Fabinho this summer, some fans would’ve expected him to come straight into the starting eleven and offer a blanket to the back-four we’ve not seen since the days of Javier Mascherano.
Crunching into tackles and feeding the ball to his teammates higher up the pitch, his inclusion would bring Liverpool to...
The World Cup is over. The transfer window has, to use a particular cliché, slammed shut. Now it’s time for the actual thing – the real football. For nine months across the length and breadth of England (and a little bit of Wales), 20 teams to fight it out for one prize. Before a...
