Opinion: United's Misery Echoes Our Own Dark Days Pre-Klopp
After tuning in and watching from my sofa as Liverpool were on the wrong side of a 3-0 thumping at Anfield, I remember the feeling crashing over me:
"We're not a big club anymore."
The date was 29 August 2015, and it was the first time that thought had ever crossed my mind. Here we were, humiliated at home by a mid-table West Ham side that had never beaten us at Anfield in the Premier League; some 16 months removed …
Liverpool and Man United finally meet in fixture to match the hype
When Liverpool play Man United, it always means a huge amount. It remains the No.1 fixture in England, bar none.
The history between the cities, whether it be relating to music, fashion or the success of their football teams, makes it a heavyweight match-up that will forever feel special.
Despite the build-up always being gargantuan and those pre-match nerves arriving regardless of where both sides are in the table, the hype is rarely justified.
For starters, too many recent games …
Cavani Liverpool's Werner Alternative?
The ongoing global pandemic has already had a big impact on football finances.
With games returning behind closed doors, clubs have been deprived of matchday revenues, in terms of hospitality, ticket sales, and other streams of income, such as club shop sales. Additionally, and more impactfully, television rebates — even given the fact they have been pushed out for another year — will hamstring many teams’ abilities to flex their financial muscles in the transfer market.
Liverpool have already felt …

Mbad Idea: Liverpool Already Have Their Number 9
Reports of Liverpool’s chase for Kylian Mbappe have lingered throughout May and June. The Reds have been tracking him for quite a while and have not been put off by his rocketing notoriety or his price-tag. Good for them. Let’s be honest, if he were signed it would change perceptions among supporters and rivals alike and Jurgen Klopp would find an effective way to use him.
However, with Mané a key addition last year and Salah brought into the fold last …
Assessing Liverpool's Striker Targets: Eto’o, Bony, Cavani, Falcao and Balotelli
It’s been almost a month since Luis Suarez signed for Barcelona and it seems every week that passed a new striker target is revealed. Liverpool will start the season with 3 recognised front men in Sturridge, Lambert and Borini with the latter potentially making a move to Sunderland before the end of the window - leaving Liverpool rather short up top. With Sturridge’s injury record and an ageing Rickie Lambert it seems pivotal for Liverpool to act and sign a …
Liverpool's Transfer Window Shopping
Less than a working week to go before the new season gets underway, and Liverpool have played their last two pre-season friendlies, in preparation for the big push. Games against Jürgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund and Sean Dyche's Burnley, provided Brendan Rodgers's team with their final two tests, in a summer which has taken the Reds to Ireland and the USA, via Preston, before returning to Anfield.
Two victories (4-0 against Dortmund at Anfield last Sunday, and 2-1 against Burnley behind …
Can Liverpool Afford A World Class Forward?
This Summer Liverpool has been spending money like it’s going out of fashion. With the unfortunate sale of Luis Suarez to Barcelona, increased TV broadcasting revenue, new commercial deals and champion’s league money the club seems to have more purchasing power than ever before. As we stand, a week before the Premier League kicks off, Liverpool has added 6 players to their ranks and by all accounts are soon to add their seventh with the signing of Moreno. Despite all …
