A schooling, a hammering and absolute annihilation. Three comments I saw on social media afterwards, which are all completely true. What started to look like being another dream night at Anfield quickly disintegrated into an absolute nightmare for Liverpool as they were well beaten by an outstanding Real Madrid side. Even the most optimistic...
When Liverpool was at their Premier & Champions League winning peak, there were certain players that were able to drive the team to a brilliantly unbeatable standard. In goal we had the best stopper on the planet, at fullback we had the most ridiculously attacking wide men who would consistently service the attack, in...
And just like that, the Champions League returns. In this most peculiar of seasons, the Qatar World Cup has managed to cause multiple disruptions and irregular form across much of Europe. With that controversy ridden tournament now in the wind, hopefully we can now all zero in on some European football, with that classic...
It is amazing what a week in Premier League football can do for a disheartened fanbase. The issues are still apparent, the changes are still required, and a raft of new players are a must in the summer transfer window. What has improved, however, is the tone of the messages within my WhatsApp groups,...
For much of the season (and especially this last week), there have been rumblings that James Milner could be offered yet another one year extension. Having just turned 37-years of age, the Leeds born footballer defies all common sense in his continuing ability to represent an elite level club. However you regard his current...
At the seasons start, you could have been confident that the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Antonio Conte would have been fighting it out for top honours at the end of this campaign, yet the latter two have suffered either mild or scary lapses in their usual levels, whilst the Etihad is...
It’s quite staggering that in a season where Liverpool have been largely woeful that they still have a chance to finish in the top four. The gap to Newcastle is now reduced to just six points and with a game in hand. There were plenty of ups and downs in a game that we...
FOMO informal. : fear of missing out : fear of not being included in something (such as an interesting or enjoyable activity) that others are experiencing. There is a real concern amongst most reds that with recent developments this could be the case long-term. With developments at other clubs and the lack of...
Since Georginio Wijnaldum departed Anfield in 2021, I have tended to write at least three articles a year, that allude to the red’s failure to replace the Swiss Army knife of midfielders. I’ve often spoken about the necessity of system players within our team, that can facilitate the special talents of others to rise...
The performance against Everton felt like a throwback to a golden age. Last season. Things change that quickly.
Granted, the Blues were really poor. We expected the Dogs of War. Instead we got yard-dogs with distemper.
Still, there are grounds for optimism after the derby. The pace of the front three for the opening strike was...
