A captain is something Liverpool has taken for granted this may well be due to our two previous captains being Sami Hyppia and Steven Gerrard. Both of them, not a single person could questioned, Gerrard took over the armband from Hyppia on October 15th against Slovenian side Olimpija Ljubljana and from that moment until...
Philippe Coutinho is a player you would go to games just to watch him play, even if you were a neutral or supported another club. On his best day, there’s arguably only a few players in the world that can provide jaw-dropping moments like he can.
In our title-challenging season, Coutinho was arguably the biggest...
Steven Gerrard leaving Liverpool a year ago was the epitome of sadness for Liverpool fans. We’ve lost a legend, a leader, and a player who could guide academy graduates or incoming players to settle in Merseyside and show them what it means exactly to play for Liverpool Football Club. Plenty of names have left...
*"Baby I don't need dollar bills to have fun tonight (I love cheap thrills) But I don't need no money as long as I can feel the beat. Cheap thrills, Yeah I love those cheap thrills..."

The Famous “Spine”
Every successful team needs one.
In the ‘80s Liverpool had Grobbelaar, Hansen, Whelan and Rush. United’s dominance of the ‘90s was largely down to their leaders through the middle - Schmeichel, Bruce, Keane and Cantona.
Wenger’s Invincibles had Lehmann, Campbell, Viera and Henry and Chelsea's successes during the last 12 years or...

- Steven Gerrard, January 2015
The words that plagued Liverpool fans and...
Growing up in America, Philadelphia to be exact, is not exactly a hot bed for soccer. I started following Liverpool Football Club in 1998. I grew up playing just about every sport except soccer. One might ask how I became such a Red fanatic then? Well, let me tell you...
Being from Philadelphia there are...
Back to the Future
As the dust settles on another domestic season we get an opportunity to assess where our great club is at, and the journey we can reasonably expect it to bring us on in the season to come. As discussed on the LFC Daytrippers pod last week, some fans are happy to...
To Infinity and Beyond…
I feel I’ve let our captain down. His story is similar to that of Woody in Toy Story. The arrival of Buzz Lightyear, coupled with an injury-ravaged campaign has meant that Jordan Henderson has been pushed to the back of my mind.
In this case, our Buzz Lightyear may well be...
Liverpool FC, European Elite.
That’s one of many banners that hang amongst the Kop on European nights, and one of the easiest to understand.
We are Liverpool. Whether rival fans like it or not, we are a club known for its European exploits. Five European Cup’s, three UEFA Cup’s and three Super Cup’s do little to...
