Apparently he's a wonderkid, he's the next Arjen Robben, he's a future superstar. But actually for most Liverpool fans, he's an unknown.

Sean O’Driscoll – Similar but Different

It's finally here. Pre-season officially began on July 6th. The 'big' news many ITK's predicted never actually arrived. Despite Callum 'credential' Wright saying a Dubai based company would buy the club they inevitably didn't. The manager wasn't replaced by a certain German.

Despite the signings | Are Liverpool in disarray?

Disarray: a state of disorganisation or untidiness. An apt word to describe the current state of affairs at Liverpool Football Club at this moment. A disastrous season has thrown the club into a state of limbo and no one can quite predict what the owners next move will be. Obviously, we are not privy to...

Philippe Coutinho: Tactical, Flexible, Magical (Part 1)

PFA Player of the Month for February 2015, LFC Players’ and Fans’ Player of the Season, and PFA Team of the Year. Four individual awards in a year is a remarkable feat, to say the least. With the cherry on top that is to finally cement a place in the Seleção – it’s been...

What are they Smoking over at Anfield?

Let’s be honest, Liverpool is a pretty great football club. It’s fun supporting this team. Not without it’s ups and downs but it’s not too shabby all round. Some of the players to come through this place are better than most clubs will ever see and before about 2010 we used to get to...
