The 5-1 aggregate win over Manchester City would've made even the most sceptic of Liverpool fans dream - could this be our year?
Friday's draw was certainly kind, with Liverpool matched against AS Roma for the semi-final of the Champions League. Avoiding European heavyweights in Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, Jurgen Klopp's side have a...
After the resounding, comprehensive display that was Liverpool's scorching 5-1 aggregate win over Manchester City, it seems unfair to spend my time talking about 'sustainability' and 'mature growth', but I'm going to anyway.
You'll hear and read many impressive things in the coming days, weeks, months and perhaps even years about the tie, but what...
When Liverpool lost 5-0 at the Etihad earlier this season, I mentioned in my breakdown that typing in the scoreline just felt wrong, but there is something immensely gratifying about typing out the aggregate scoreline for the Champions League tie: 5-1. I might even do it again. 5-1. Lovely.
Anyway, there are five minutes until...
It's April 5th, 2017. James Milner makes another start in the Liverpool lineup in his unfamiliar left-back role. Liverpool draw 2-2 at home to Bournemouth and everything was a bit flat. Prospects of Milner playing in central midfield in this Liverpool lineup are seemingly nothing but a pipe dream.
Jump forward a little over a...
For someone who has worked his way to the top of his profession, Dejan Lovren doesn’t half receive endless abuse.
He is an international footballer who plays for Liverpool, which in my eyes, makes you fairly decent at what you do for a living.
I am fully aware that it's all relative, and that he should...
Ah, the word “passion.”
Somewhat overused in the day and age of exposition, Liverpool Football Club has something of a connection to the idea of pure, unadulterated passion in the vast landscape that is football. Everything is magnified tenfold, because of its relation to everything else in the football sphere.
So, when people marry the word...
When I watched Ryan Babel sprint past a tired Cesc Fabregas to finish off an incredible Champions League night, little did I know it was going to take me that long to experience that feeling again.
That feeling! That feeling of being in the semi-final of the UEFA Champions League. That feeling is back again, thanks...
Liverpool battled from behind at The Etihad to record a 2-1 win in the second-leg of the Champions League quarter-final, taking one step closer to Kiev. A goal inside two minutes set the pulses racing as Manchester City came out all guns play, with Liverpool unable to string any momentum together in an attempt...
ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZ,
ALLEZ ALLEZ ALLEZZZZZZZ.
I was on press duty for another site I write for (sinning) so this gives me a chance to express some joy I had to hold back sitting around a bunch of journalists and City fans.
Not seen a replay of anything so if my Dejan Lovren praise is a bit...
