Divock Origi was one of those players that Liverpool bought but didn't really know what we were getting. Brendan Rodgers and the committee saw a player that certainly had potential and was flourishing in the 2014 World Cup. So they splashed the cash and loaned him back to Lille to continue his development. By the...
It's hard to believe that Jurgen Klopp took over as Liverpool manager just six months ago. The Reds looked like a team that had lost its identity in the latter stages of Brendan Rodgers’ reign but now, following their recent 4-1 win against Stoke City, Liverpool look like a side with confidence flowing through...
See that man pacing the touchline, intensity and focus etched into his brow.
See that man tearing from the dugout, leaping and punching a fist through the air.
See that man smile and laugh, the gathered masses of the press sat comfortably in the palm of his hand.
That man is Jurgen Klopp, and Liverpool will never...
Dejan Lovren...
He’s improved quite a bit under Klopp, but he’s still a player who divides opinion. There’s even been talk, both on Twitter and from mainstream journalists, that he’s the centre-back Klopp trusts most, and that he’s the one who will partner Matip next season. Not everyone holds this view, however – a competing...
You can see the images now. A slightly disheveled, sleep-deprived, Jürgen Klopp emerges from his office in the middle of the night. The dim lights cast shadows on his maniacal face as His assistant, Mr. Buvac, silently stalks in the background. They both watch on, as lightning strikes and thunder crashes. There in the darkness...
Why the optimism?
Maybe it's because we wrote this season off when Rodgers was sacked in October. A new manager, whoever it was, would need time to affect change and instill their vision within our club. Then it happened… Klopp-mania. The question is not “why did we expect immediate miracles?” but “how could we have...
Behind us lie the ashes of the false dawns. Scattered across the landscape of the nineties when illustrious and God gifted Liverpool men such as Fowler and McManaman weren’t enough to steady a ship ran from its course under the guidance of Souness. Haunting us through the opening acts of the new century, as...
Two of the most pertinent issues surrounding the Liverpool squad at this moment in time involve the Welsh midfielder Joe Allen. The diminutive Welsh international has found his role in the squad somewhat limited at times under new manager Jürgen Klopp whilst, puzzlingly, still finding himself at the centre of some good talking points...
When he arrived in the summer of 2012, Joe Allen was something of a statement signing for Brendan Rodgers; he was the player he desperately wanted. The two had worked well together at Swansea and Rodgers saw Allen as a vital cog, a key component in how he envisaged his Liverpool team playing. Many...
It seems to be the constant posture Liverpool Football Club has found itself in since circa 1992. We are always “in transition”, always going through changes, always waiting for players to be bedded in, always looking for the deadwood to be shipped out.
After our 2013/14 season, where we so nearly brought the title home,...
