Dortmund
This is what I was expecting to write, after Thursday’s exhilarating performance. When Liverpool crashed out of the Europa League on Thursday, the backlash on social media was bitter and full of vitriol. Whilst losing hurts, especially in the last competition Liverpool had an opportunity of winning this season, sometimes you have to accept you […]
Friday 18th March The draw. This is where it really starts. The fabled legend who you can’t quite recall doing something remarkable alongside the official from UEFA reminding you of something from the Eurovision Song Contest. There won’t be any “dooze pwaan” for anyone here, just fate… and possible destiny. By the time the sixth […]
Liverpool travel to Germany to face Borussia Dortmund on Thursday night in the first leg of the quarter finals of the Europa League. Thursday’s game promises to be quite the spectacle with a return to Germany for Jurgen Klopp making all the headlines in the build up to the crucial tie. Both sides will be […]
For those of you who took the time to click on an article so shamelessly titled in such an abhorrent manner, fear not: I am not deluded. Though many have mused that very possibility, and while there have been times when that may have been the case, this is not one of those times. While […]
It was written in the stars, with an almost certain inevitability to it, that Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund would be drawn together in the Europa League quarter-finals. For Jürgen Klopp and everyone associated with Dortmund it is a very emotional tie; you only have to look back at his final game at the Westfalenstadion to […]
When Jurgen Klopp was appointed as Liverpool manager at the beginning of October many fans took to social media to give their thoughts on how the current squad could replicate how the mentalist German set up his successful Dortmund side. One of the favourite comparisons was that £32.5 million man Christian Benteke would be Liverpool’s […]
Amidst mediocre performances against the likes of Augsburg in the Europa League and Manchester City in the Capital One Cup finals, the midfield (or lack of) has been the biggest topic when it comes to pinpointing the flaws of the Klopp-influenced Liverpool side. A high-calibre midfield sets the tone for the rest of the team […]
The Reds made hard work of it but they’re through to the last 16 of the Europa League. The English media often treat this competition with disdain as though it’s the European equivalent of the League Cup. Their ignorance is astounding as this year’s final 16 rivals anything the Champions League could offer. Excluding the […]
When it comes to Liverpool Football Club, I’m forever the optimist. A glass half full sort of person clinging to an undying faith that the football powerhouse we once were, we will be again. One day. Hopefully. Okay, I’m mostly the optimist. But there are times when it’s necessary to take a step back, drop […]
Injuries have blitzed the Liverpool squad since Jurgen Klopp was appointed as manager in October. Within his first week as manager he’d lost Joe Gomez for the season with an ACL Injury. Immediately he was down to just four first team centre-backs. Four centre-backs for practically an entire season and of those four two of […]
