One Hit Wonders: Sebastian Coates
One Hit Wonders. There have many throughout the years so I’d start by listing my favourites
80's - Nu Shooz with I Can’t Wait. It wasn’t a rapper who came up with that tune!
90's - Haddaway, What is Love? We’re still trying to work it out.
00's - Take your pick. Lots of shit songs!
Sorry, back to the football!
Liverpool’s had plenty of one-hit wonders and one terrible blunders to match. The soft rules for myself on this …
Why LFC need Naby Keïta more than Van Dijk
Liverpool FC, since the departure of Rafael Benitez, has struggled defensively. Indeed, the last time the team conceded less than 40 goals in a league season was in the 2009/10 season, in which Liverpool conceded 35 goals. Since then, Liverpool have conceded 44 (2010/11), 40 (2011/12), 43 (2012/13), 50 (2013/14), 48 (2014/15), 50 (2015/16) and 42 (2016/17).
In that period, Liverpool has had Carragher, Agger, Skrtel, Kelly, Coates, Toure, Lovren, Matip, Klavan and others who have all played at centre-back. …
Another Crocked Liverbird: Liverpool's Knee-Hilistic Past
Some weeks make you wish God had come up with something other than knees - weeks when you can't wear shorts for fear of seeing your own knees in a mirror and losing all sense of what it means to 'be'. It has been a year since the beginning of one such week, when as a result of two Liverpool employees falling over in unconnected incidents, the phrase ‘anterior cruciate ligament’ achieved unprecedented frequency of use.
At the time, Danny Ings …
Signing Nathaniel Clyne - Another canny move by Liverpool?
So it looks like Nathaniel Clyne will be Liverpool's sixth summer signing of the season. The infamous 'transfer-committee' have worked tirelessly this summer to ensure that Liverpool's transfer dealings get done early before the start of pre-season. James Miner and Adam Bogdan (free transfers), Danny Ings (Tribunal fee), Joe Gomez (£3.5 million) and Roberto Firmino (£22 million + £7 million add-ons) have already been added to the Reds' squad with the club yet to sell any of the deadwood around …

Are we still dreaming for a team of Carraghers? | Jamie Carragher
“We all dream of a team of Carraghers” goes the Kop chant, but exactly how long will it be before we have a team-less Carragher?
At the age of 33, Carragher’s best years are behind him, yet he remains a stalwart in the centre of defence.
While some may say he has lost his pace, I would question how much pace he had in the first place.
Instead, the Bootle-born defender possesses a greater understanding of the game that has …
