Liverpool will face Villarreal on Thursday evening in the first leg of the Europa League semi-final. The Reds will hope to bring back a positive result for the home time at Anfield and progress to the final of the competition.
Liverpool are just three games away from ending their season with European silverware, with Thursday’s...
Mamadou Sakho divides opinion. The Frenchman has done so ever since his move from Paris Saint-Germain in the Summer of 2013. His first season with the Reds was hit and miss. He shared the left centre-back berth with Daniel Agger. Both players struggled with injuries so it was a sort of timeshare role.
Many fans...
I think the last time I wrote anything about Hillsborough was on Dec 19th, 2012. A cold and drizzly day but I don’t remember feeling either of them on my skin. Walking away from the Royal Courts of Justice my only thought was one of hope. The old coroner’s inquests had just been quashed...
Based in the tiny City of Vila-Real in the Comunitat Valenciana on the East Coast of Spain, Villarreal have arguably been the 21st century’s biggest football over-achievers. With a stadium that could fit half the city’s population, the club captivated the football world back in 2006 when they reached the Champions League semi-final with...
The events of the last three days have scarred the entire club and the entire fan base. Mamadou Sakho was well on his way to attaining cult status on the Kop. On Saturday, when it emerged that he had failed a drugs test in the aftermath of the Europa League game at Old Trafford,...

But Liverpool need not dream because they have a striker of the...
Sidelined defender Mamadou Sakho is facing a nervous 24 hours after UEFA gave Liverpool notification on Friday that the central defender had tested positive for a banned substance after the Europa League fixture versus Manchester United on March 17th. A decision, by Europe’s governing body, is set to be announced on Tuesday (April 26th).
Whilst the exact...
After another significant bottle job by this very fragile Liverpool team against Newcastle United, there is definitely reasons to be concerned about our defence. Once again from leading 2-0 at half time, this side managed to surrender by the full-time whistle, and one player seemed to have a game of two halves. Alberto Moreno summed...
Since Jurgen Klopp took over there seemed to be a raging debate about whether Philippe Coutinho would make the cut under our German manager. Did he have the energy and the enthusiasm to keep up with the dynamic style of play that our boss wanted to employ? We had all seen evidence of fantastic...
Liverpool are magic, Everton are tragic, tra la la la, tra la la la…
Those words rained down from the Kop last Wednesday as Everton limped to a humiliating defeat at the hands of Liverpool. Four – nil, could have been eight, should have been really.
And yet as a Liverpool fan watching on, it was...
