Could 4222 Shape Be Liverpool’s Next Tactical Step?

As much as Arsenal fans on the internet will tell you otherwise, the Community Shield is a glorified friendly and its importance should be framed as such. There were, however, some interesting takeaways for Liverpool in their 1-1 draw -- and subsequent penalty shootout defeat, again -- with the Gunners at Wembley. Namely the switch in...

A Full Circle

I have been a Liverpool fan since 2002 when the football scene in Malaysia was booming. Everyone in school had a favourite English football team. The earliest game I can recall is the one where we lost to Man United 2-1 when the ball went through Dudek's legs to Forlan. Yeah that game! That’s...

Key Stats as Liverpool celebrate trophy lift with a bang

Liverpool briefly returned to an earlier version of themselves where everything was a bit chaotic, they didn’t have two competent centre-backs and they were scoring goals for fun, as they won 5-3 against Chelsea in their final home game of the season, on a night where the Premier League trophy lift took precedence over...

Silence isn’t golden

We’re a few weeks into this football falseness. We’ve won the league for the first time in 30 years and it felt incredible. But for me, only for a few hours. Then a form of depression set in; sadness that the trophy - that ugly silver premier league totem with an awfully grotesque lion atop -...

Built on Emotion, Yet Ruthlessly Executed

Somehow, it was inevitable that it ended this way. Not with a roar that had been pent up for thirty years, not with a glorious cavalcade, not even in front of any fans. In fact, there weren’t even any red shirts on the pitch at the end of the ninety minutes that confirmed Liverpool as...

Title-Winning Liverpool the Best for Decades

Well they did it. It’s over. Liverpool were officially labelled Premier League Champions as Man City slipped up at Chelsea, losing 2-1 and giving Liverpool a 23 point lead with seven games to go. This is the first time in my lifetime I’ve seen Liverpool win the title and for many of you it’s likely either...

Liverpool’s Wait Is Over

Finally, after what felt like an interminable wait, Liverpool Football Club are Champions of England once again. The Reds' 19th crown -- their first in the Premier League era -- is all the more impressive, given the club's recent boom and bust history; where a title challenge would inevitably be followed a season later by...
