Daniel Sturridge
Against Aston Villa on Saturday, it was evident we lacked ‘something’ up front. I feel Sturridge is that ‘something’ – as well as Sterling, but he was on the bench. On Friday the 5th of September 2014, English striker Daniel Sturridge, Liverpool’s most prolific goal scorer in his first 50 games in the Premier league era, […]
“The Mark of a Genius!” They cried, when Luis put another past Norwich. “Dalglish is unstoppable!” They chanted, when Kenny put another past United. “Rush is on fire!” They bellowed, when Ian put the third past Everton. “Torrreeeeeeess!!!!” They screamed, as Fernando slotted home against the Gunners. Robbie Fowler, John Toshak, Michael Owen, John Aldridge, […]
BRENDAN Rodgers has grown into one of the most exciting and respected managers in the Premier League. The Northern Irish born man grew up in Ballymena where he learnt and played football with his local side. In 1990, at the age of 17, Rodgers moved to Reading to further his career but it was halted […]
Anfield Index is paving the way when it comes to recording the amount of pressing undertaken by Liverpool players. The analysis of pressing actions isn’t just another meaningless number to add to the myriad of useless statistics available to football fans, this data is integral to Liverpool’s system under Brendan Rodgers. The recent Anfield Index […]
We’ve all heard the rumours of how we are apparently in for every striker on the planet. Some names seem reasonable, others are somewhat… unrealistic. As much as we all love Daniel Sturridge, I’ll take you through some thoughts of how he he might have to cope flying solo. The SAS only truly clicked in […]
In just over a fortnight, the Premier League season will be upon us once again. Weekends will assume a deeper meaning, and thoughts of summer holidays and World Cups in far flung lands, will fade hazily into the memory banks, perhaps retrieved and discussed at some later date, when other matters appear less pressing. Liverpool […]
It’s often said that pre-season friendlies are meaningless money-spinning exercises, which if anything serve only to improve match fitness and sharpness. However, there’s an obvious trend when it comes to Liverpool’s opponents for these warm up games, and some noticeable tactical systems at play even at this early stage. With this in mind, here’s a […]
Liverpool Football Club just embarked on a pre-season tour of the United States. The Reds will play a least four games over the next fortnight, against the likes of Roma, Manchester City and AC Milan, in four different cities – Boston, Chicago, New York and Charlotte. The tour squad includes new signings Adam Lallana, Emre […]
It’s official, Suarez has left Liverpool Football Club for the Catalonian sunshine, to join Messi, Neymar and become one of the “new Galacticos”. Good for him, but where does that leave Brendan Rodgers and LFC? €90m richer, but seeking to replace 31 league goals, 12 assists and a whole lot of work rate. Rickie Lambert, […]
Daniel Sturridge was a promising youngster at Manchester City when he first made his name. He didn’t manage to fulfil his potential as he never really got to play in his desired position or some could argue his attitude was not right. Sturridge just wasn’t cutting it at Manchester City even though it was reported […]
