Some parts of Jurgen Klopp’s Rote Maschine are still on the production line, but during the past few weeks there have been signs that some of the components are finally coming together.
Devils in the Detail
Following a run of games which saw Liverpool regularly playing twice a week, the week break between the two Europa...
For many Luis Alberto Romero is one of the personifications of the failings of Liverpool’s transfer committee. He was acquired as Brendan Rodgers put it back then because he had the “correct football profile and mentality to be a Liverpool player”. However, together with Iago Aspas, they became one of the pointless transfers for...
I don’t need to explain to anyone with a modicum of football knowledge just how big a Liverpool versus Manchester United game is and emotions usually run very high for these encounters. However, the overriding emotion for me from the Premier League meetings between the two sides both this season and last has been...
Like Portuguese defender Tiago Ilori before him, Serbian winger Lazar Marković has become one of Liverpool's forgotten men this season. As an out and out winger Marković was the last player fans expected to see loaned out this season especially with Jordan Ibe being Liverpool's only other out and out winger in the 2015/2016...
It is easy to preach in football about the virtues of patience and context, but it is far more difficult to mobilise those concepts in the race to form opinions. Jürgen Klopp has taken charge of 33 games as a Liverpool manager - games which include finals against the richest clubs in the world,...
Different paths, same direction. No matter which road Mario Balotelli decides to take, the finish line full of praise and success always seems to end up as an unreachable target for much maligned forward. To reach there, all he had to do was follow the signs and the instructions of others who have experienced...
I’m going to attempt to do something here that is perhaps a little alien to me when it comes to Liverpool Football Club, I’m going to attempt to write the following from the head as opposed to the heart.
The reason for this, is that I was recently thinking about Jurgen Klopp’s opening shots as...
Social media blew up in response to an interview that BT Sport pundit and former Liverpool player Michael Owen gave to the Daily Mirror. In it, Owen was asked about current Reds star Roberto Firmino and his response was surprising; he said he was split on him and claimed that he’d played well against...
He can not pass the ball, he can not tackle, he can not dribble and he looks like spaghetti when he is on the ball. These are just some of the phrases that have been used by fans and pundits alike when they describe Liverpool defensive general Mamadou Sakho.
Sakho was signed from French club...
Captain? Yes. Leader? Not quite. At least since his return to the side last month after his heel problem, Jordan Henderson has not been the robust central midfielder that he has shown he can be. Steven Gerrard's departure last summer left a gaping hole in the very fabric of the squad.
Minus Gerrard, Liverpool went...
