Thiago - It’s a Kinda Magic
Football can be pure joy to the eye, with wonderful technicians (thanks Brendan) scattering the past and present of the game. I grew up watching the gliding destruction of John Barnes, mesmerised by his abilities. Later I would sit pitch side, enthralled by the elegance of Steve McManaman as chalk dusted his boots, and I now shuffle forward in my seat every time a certain Spaniard receives the ball.
When rock and roll football announced its arrival at Anfield, it …
The Euros Stars We’d Love To See At Anfield Next Term
International tournament football is always one of the most exciting shop windows to peer through, but as Liverpool fans know, it really can be as random as playing the likes of PayPal bingo - it’s luck of the draw. El Hadji Diouf, anyone?
Even so, while a player can come out of nowhere to have an incredible tournament, only to find you’ll get the one, solitary number in a bingo draw rather than the full house, there has already been …

What a shitshow we've witnessed in the football world in the last few days. Our club, disappointingly, was at the centre of all that is wrong with the game at the minute. The proposed Super League was a dire idea and I hope it dissolves into the ether like the scarily …

Liverpool's midfield vs Chelsea: A selection headache at long last
There was much to admire about Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Sheffield United, as the Reds made a welcome return to winning ways.
Adrian, Nat Phillips and Ozan Kabak largely did well against a physical Blades attack, while Trent Alexander-Arnold looked somewhere close to his best again.
Gini Wijnaldum and Thiago purred in midfield, the front-three looked more vibrant as a unit, and of course, Curtis Jones was the star of the show.
One of the most heartwarming aspects was the …
Injuries aside, Liverpool's lack of fight and mentality is inexcusable
Just when you thought you'd pretty much seen it all this season, the unthinkable happens.
Everton's first win at Anfield since 1999, combined with a hammer blow of an injury to Jordan Henderson and what was, at best, an abject performance saw Liverpool's season plummet to a new low.
This was a fourth straight defeat at Anfield after going almost 70 games at home without losing, and was another game in which the Reds failed to score or muster a …
