There is no right way to leave a club. If nothing else, that’s the lesson that we can take from Liverpool in the last few months and even years. Zeroing in more specifically on Emre Can, it seems to me that there simply is no way that Emre can leave the club that won’t...
A few of my writings over the years have had reference to songs or movies of old. This one is no different. As it’s a blockbuster tie, there’s only one way to go which is Frankie Goes to Hollywood!!! We've two legs coming up against Manchester City. The fun all starts at Anfield on...
The Champions League quarter-final draw certainly didn’t do any favours to England’s two remaining clubs, with Liverpool and Manchester City being drawn to play each other in what, with all due respect to Real Madrid and Juventus, has to be the tie of the round.
Whilst the draw could have been more favourable and despite...
As I write this the early days of April 2018 contain the following fixtures.
Wed 4th April: Liverpool v Manchester City
Saturday 7th April: Everton v Liverpool
Tuesday 10th April: Manchester City v Liverpool
Three games in six days that will provide a season’s worth of drama and mayhem. Talk about make or break.
Those are three huge games....
Liverpool are into the last eight of the Champions League following a tepid 0-0 draw with Porto, seeing them through 5-0 on aggregate. But what were the key stats that emerged from the game?
Pass, Pass, Pass. Don’t Shoot, Shoot, Shoot
This was a game that Liverpool dominated, dictated, and played at their own tempo. The...
Liverpool cruised into the quarter-finals of the Champions League, following up their 5-0 away win at Porto with a comfy 0-0 draw in the return leg. So what were the observations from a rather un-exciting game?
Boring, Boring Liverpool Do The Job
On paper, it wasn’t billed as a hugely exciting game, and perhaps Liverpool deserve...
Liverpool: Karius; Gomez, Matip, Lovren, Moreno; Henderson, Can, Milner; Lallana, Mane, Firmino.
Porto: Casillas; Pereira, Felipe, Reyes, Dalot; Costa, Torres, Andre, Corona; Waris, Aboubakar
Match Review
It's not often Liverpool are involved in games that fail to get the pulses racing.
Scoring 28 goals in seven Champions League matches prior to kick-off, The Reds boasted an average of...
Job done, professional work, blah blah blah. That was a little boring, wasn't it?
Liverpool (5) 0-0 (0) Porto. Onto Old Trafford and into the quarter-finals.
Another clean sheet for Big Loris
Loris Karius (7):Â Keeps clean sheets, looks cool. And now he's done the simple stuff in a simple manner! Lively off his line in the first...

After yet another superb performance this weekend, Andy Robertson is continuing to develop into a very good left-back in Liverpool's system. Since Alberto Moreno suffered an injury in the Champions League game against Spartak Moscow, the Scottish international has grabbed the opportunity Klopp has given him, progressing game on game, implementing the team's style...
