Brendan Rodgers

Dear Brendan….

Dear Brendan, Firstly, on behalf of thousands and thousands of Liverpool Football Club supporters from every corner of the globe we call home, I sincerely thank you for allowing us to dream again after years of frustration. You had allowed us to dream about lifting the Premier League trophy 18 months back. And today, you're...

A Tactical Look at the 3-4-1-2 Formation Against Norwich

Brendan Rodgers rolled out yet another tweaked formation against Norwich. Formations are just a template on paper, a team can be as fluid or as structured as it likes depending on the instructions the manager gives. The Liverpool formation against Norwich could've been viewed as 352 or 3412 depending on when Liverpool had possession...

Brendan Rodgers – Foolish or Brave?

When Liverpool's line up was announced for their match at home to Norwich, Twitter could be described as being excitedly cautious. Every single Liverpool fan had the same questions - Is the decision to start Daniel Sturridge stupid or brave from Brendan Rodgers? Was it right to change an entire system? Was it a...

Five Observations from Liverpool vs Norwich

Whilst watching this game against Norwich, I couldn't help but feel a little bit of sadness and sickness as the last number of times we played Norwich, Luis Suarez ran the show. Reminiscence of a greater, more fun Liverpool did not make for a pretty Sunday afternoon, as I laid back and watched highlights...

Mamadou Sakho – Laying the Foundations

A friend recently asked if I had a monthly reminder on my phone to put a tweet out about Sakho only having x amount of months left on his current deal. Sad to say I had to cancel that reminder now. Myself and many more Liverpool fans got their wish on Friday when it was...

Jürgen Klopp: The Sole Candidate

As Brendan Rodgers' tenure as Liverpool manager edges towards an unsavoury climax, I look to the man on every supporters' lips and why he'd make the ideal replacement. Should the Liverpool job be made available, I expect it will be highly coveted and sought after. FSG, despite recent criticisms on decision making, are extremely generous...

Liverpool v Norwich Preview | Predicted Line-Ups & Stats

This is a great time for either team to be playing the other.  For Liverpool, the weekend brings a struggling-to-survive, newly-promoted Norwich that hasn’t quite got their feet off the ground.  The Canaries have taken down Sunderland and Bournemouth, but neither team is outside the realm of relegation fodder.  The Reds will feel more...

Brendan Rodgers: Presenting the Facts

For the dwindling number of Liverpool supporters who still had faith in Brendan Rodgers or were still willing to give him another chance this season, it seems the timid defeat away to Manchester United was the straw that broke the camel’s back. His backing amongst the fan base is now in Roy Hodgson territory. There...

Divock Origi – It’s Time To Give Him A Chance

Five Games in to the season and there are already calls for Rodgers head. 3 goals from 5 games is poor, however when you see that Liverpool have scored 2 or more goals in only 6 league games since January 2015, there is a deeper problem. The lack of creativity and general naivety from...

Manchester United vs Liverpool: The Autopsy

At the start of the season I thought I'd do a weekly tactical piece on the previous game. Primarily looking at the attack and how Christian Benteke and Roberto Firmino were bedding in with their new teammates. The United game was horrific to watch and although I tried I couldn't really find anything tactically to...
