It has been ten years since Liverpool were in the quarterfinal of the UEFA Champions League. In many ways, that sombre evening at Anfield when a Branislav Ivanovic-inspired Chelsea ran out 3-1 victors in the first leg of that quarterfinal was the start of a spectacular decline that has seen the club on the...

Liverpool have been playing well, despite one or two blips, since late October. That is no mean feat. Klopp's men have impressed on almost all of their outings since...
With an epic two-legged quarter-final looming against Manchester City, I took a look at the way both teams attack. The Champions League tie promises to be one of those contests for the ages. Two brave, attacking teams locking horns; this could be another legendary European contest that, we as fans, will be talking about...
28 league goals so far, and he doesn't seem to be slowing down: Mo Salah is blitzing his way through records as fast as he leaves defenders chasing dust on the pitch. It's truly remarkable, seeing Salah develop into a second striker, as Klopp looks to wean the very best out of his skills....
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...
