Anfield

Lessons Learned against Real Madrid

A schooling, a hammering and absolute annihilation. Three comments I saw on social media afterwards, which are all completely true. What started to look like being another dream night at Anfield quickly disintegrated into an absolute nightmare for Liverpool as they were well beaten by an outstanding Real Madrid side. Even the most optimistic...

The Cult of Personality at Anfield: Examining the Role of Passion in the Club’s Success

Tony Evans: Klopp’s Team Capitulated, He Needs to Sort it Out, Quickly!

The performance in the 3-1 defeat by Brentford was unacceptable. There were so many things wrong that it’s hard to know where to start. It was not the way to open the new year.
