Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp paid tribute to former Reds manager Gérard Houllier after news of the Frenchman's passing on Monday at 73 years old.
Houllier managed Liverpool from 1998 until 2004. During that time, he led The Reds to their 2000/01 treble of the FA Cup, League Cup and UEFA Cup.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com following the...
There have been several players in Liverpool’s recent past who have enjoyed the best football of their careers at Anfield and inscribed themselves into the club’s history with memorable performances.
Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres — to name but three — either spent all of their careers or, in Gerrard’s case as good...
In April 2009 Liverpool went to Stamford Bridge and looked for a miracle.
Six days earlier the Reds led from an early goal by Fernando Torres, but it was not a strike which set the tone for the night as Guus Hiddink’s side battered us by three goals to one. The Dutchman coaxed an imperious...
Over the years and certainly in the Premier League era, Liverpool fans have become accustomed to defence first football. The Liverpool of the Premier League have played football that is predominately tight, cautious, balanced and astute. There's nothing wrong with that defence first mentality, but how many league titles did it result in? None.
Arguably...
The dust may have settled after Liverpool’s 2-2 draw with Sevilla, but the fume is still very much alive and well.
Another slick attacking display was ruined by defensive incompetence, with the La Liga outfit scoring with both shots on target at Anfield. How many times does that seem to happen these days?
Whether it be...
It's been a season of progress at Liverpool Football Club.
Having ended the 2015/16 campaign in a disappointing 8th place, the consensus was that Jurgen Klopp had done a good job at recycling such a limited squad inherited by his predecessor, Brendan Rodgers - leading Liverpool to both the League Cup & Europa League final...
International breaks are a bit of a curate's egg. Now, that is supposed to mean that there are both good and bad aspects to them and yet the origin of the expression yields a meaning far closer to this columnist's opinion of the all-too-frequent Premier League interruptions. Apparently, the turn of phrase comes from...
Many past Liverpool managers have experienced utterly disastrous summer transfer windows.
Gerard Houllier, Rafa Benitez and Brendan Rodgers all spectacularly failed to build on near title-winning seasons in 2001/02, 2008/09 and 2013/14, respectively, with dross such as El Hadji Diouf, Salif Diao, Philipp Degen and Alberto Aquilani bought in.
Even Kenny Dalglish, for all his...
Liverpool are 13 matches into their assault on another Premier League title, and they have arguably never looked more likely to seal that holy grail we have all craved so badly since 1990.
Under Jurgen Klopp, the Reds are looking the part more and more by the week, and they are picking up points in...
Is there a perfect Liverpool Manager?
There have been twenty two people fortunate enough to manage Liverpool Football Club. Some successful, a few who failed to live up to the high expectations of the great club, and one, to my recollection, that was disastrous. There has been a trend amongst them all since the 1990’s...
