Reds Stoppers Frustrating Summer Window
The Quiet Frustration of Caoimhin Kelleher: Celtic's Interest and Liverpool's Reluctance
The Dilemma of Being Second Choice
Caoimhin Kelleher, Liverpool's backup shot-stopper, finds himself in a bit of a quandary. The young Irish goalkeeper is eager to get more minutes under his belt, but with Alisson Becker firmly established as the first-choice keeper at Anfield, opportunities are few and far between. Kelleher's appearances are mostly confined to cup competitions, leaving him yearning for more regular action.

From Envy of Europe to Transfer Turmoil: Liverpool's Journey
The Golden Age of Transfers: Remembering the Glory Days
Ah, Liverpool. Once the shining beacon of transfer sagacity, now seemingly stumbling in the dark, searching for the light switch. It's like watching your grandad try to use a smartphone.
"Remember when we were the envy of Europe?" I hear the nostalgic Reds fans whisper. Ah yes, those were the days. But as with all good things, they come to an end. Or in this case, they take a sabbatical.
Couldn't …
FSG Out - The Rise & Fall of our Controversial Owners
For the entirety of January, I was convinced my football club would recruit that midfielder which was desperately needed. My misguided faith in our owners (doing the right thing) has left me saddened, as I wanted to remember them for all the good they have done for this historical club. It can never be denied how they were able to modernise, restructure, grow, and bring this franchise to the very peak of modern-day football. Their success was built upon smart …
Could Roberto De Zerbi Be The Long Term Successor To Klopp
I wrote previously how it could be a choice as to who leaves the club first, Jurgen Klopp or FSG. Given the underwhelming result against Chelsea this past weekend, I still think the big German could depart his post, certainly if results were to continue in an unsatisfactory manner. My hope is that the club’s sale process speeds up and something can be done within this January transfer window. If that does not transpire, it could make for a very …
Liverpool v Leicester - The Premier League Preview
With one game won and two to go, the Christmas Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a successful Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp will now be hoping to heap further misery on former Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, as Friday will see his Leicester side travel to Anfield for a game under those famous lights.
Leicester’s last game saw them taken apart at home to big spending Newcastle United, with a 0-3 …
Opinion: United's Misery Echoes Our Own Dark Days Pre-Klopp
After tuning in and watching from my sofa as Liverpool were on the wrong side of a 3-0 thumping at Anfield, I remember the feeling crashing over me:
"We're not a big club anymore."
The date was 29 August 2015, and it was the first time that thought had ever crossed my mind. Here we were, humiliated at home by a mid-table West Ham side that had never beaten us at Anfield in the Premier League; some 16 months removed …
The Windows of Change
It seems an absolute eternity ago that Liverpool were signing certain players under the management of Brendan Rogers at Liverpool. This summer could see some of Mohammad Salah, Sadio Mané, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, James Milner and Joe Gomez leave the club. Whereas the first two are key components within this current Liverpool side, there is no longer the absolute fear of what (or who) comes next. The recent signing of Luis Diaz has been sensational, and helps to reaffirm the current …
Thankyou Arsenal
In a period where life is still somewhat irregular, a little bit scary and often times frustrating, there is still the odd football moment that brings pure joy.
Last weekend Liverpool entertained a visiting Arsenal side, and their young manager, Mikel Arteta. For Liverpool’s fanbase, the pre game was relaxed, and confidence was high. The Reds' injury list was manageable, and the match was very much something to look forward to, after the international break. Arsenal are often a team …
The Liverpool Players In Their Final Days
The final few embers of the Brendan Rodgers regime still remain, with Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Joe Gomez and Divock Origi now rotation pieces of varying quality, within Jürgen Klopp’s squad. As part of any management era, there is always incoming failures that have a shelf life. Under the Brendan stewardship, the hits were few, and the misses often spectacular. This past summer saw a few more players moved on, in what is commonly a summer of attempting to release …
