At the end of the transfer window, Jurgen Klopp looked at his left back options, nodded and moved on. With Alberto Moreno throwing himself about with reckless abandon, the German gave the shirt to the 30 year old James Milner, knowing that the Yorkshireman would simply get on with it. Left back was done...
…And Liverpool’s right centre back conundrum.
Ever since the halcyon days of Jamie Carragher’s partnerships with Sami Hyypia and Daniel Agger Liverpool fans haven’t witnessed a truly balance centre half pairing at Anfield. We’ve seen Skrtel, Kolo and a selection of left sided centre halves trying to fill the void at right centre back.
The club’s...
From the past to the present, there are players we adore, there are players we appreciate, there are players we are content with, there are players we are disappointed in, and then there’s Martin Skrtel.

When it comes to Sakho everyone is eager to be proven right. The media that strenuously tag him awkward and for whom he is a representation of the ills of the transfer committee cannot stress enough how poor and overrated he is at any opportunity that comes their way.
On the flip-side the fans that...
Pitchforks down please. This isn't about whether Sakho and Lovren are good enough for Liverpool. It's about their durability.
Liverpool may find themselves in many predicaments this summer but one that's been overlooked due to more pressing issues is the Dejan Lovren and Mamadou Sakho conundrum. Both players divide opinion amongst Liverpool fans but this...
When times are darkest and everything seems hopeless people tend to gravitate towards something to believe in and as Liverpool fans we are no different. Yet at the end of the Hicks and Gillette era at Liverpool there was very little to believe in. The club was at the brink of financial demise and...
It’s not a great time to be a Liverpool supporter right now. The league campaign – what, for many, gives the season it’s real wings – is in danger of spiralling into a damage limitation exercise. It can be grim watching the Reds; a chronic lack of pace, a blunt object seemingly incapable of...
