Victory at Old Trafford More Significant Than 2009?
Liverpool's 4-1 win at Man United in 2009 remains my favourite-ever away win by the Reds, in any competition.
Having started supporting Liverpool in 1994, it took until December 2000 to even see them prevail at Old Trafford, as Danny Murphy scored the only goal.

While those trio of 1-0 victories …
From a Weakness to a Strength: How Liverpool Finally Solved Their Left-Back Problem
Liverpool have had their fair share of dross players over the years: Antonio Nunez, Christian Poulsen and Milan Jovanovic roll straight off the tongue, for example. Indeed, the last few years have produced some teams with a dearth of star quality, culminating in frustrating league finishes and forgettable campaigns.

To this day, if I hear a track from Smashing Pumpkins’ “Mellon Collie...” album it takes me right back. It was the first time I fell in love with music, …
8 Memorable Bosman Signings for Liverpool
With confirmation of Joel Matip arriving in the summer on a free transfer earlier this week it got me thinking about previous Bosman transfers at Liverpool. It's almost instinctive to hear the words 'free transfer' and picture Joe Cole and Milan Jovanovic as a Liverpool fan but the club's history with Bosman deals isn't that bad, it's actually pretty good.
It may be controversial, you may not agree, but below are the top 8 most memorable Bosman deals Liverpool have …
Are The Full-Backs at Liverpool Good Enough?
The full-back position has been a problem area for Liverpool since the days of Alvaro Arbeloa/Steven Finnan and Fabio Aurelio. Some may call it bad luck, others may say it's a cursed position, whatever the case Liverpool full-backs seem to have faults.
Fans have witnessed the likes of Glen Johnson, Javi Manquillo, Jose Enrique, John Flanagan and recently Alberto Moreno and Nathaniel Clyne all fill the two jinxed positions with varying success. Glen Johnson's decline as a footballer happened quicker …
