Thiago Influence Can Lift Jordan Henderson To Old Self
Jordan Henderson is an extremely versatile player, as we've seen throughout the entirety of his Liverpool career.
Whether it's been as the midfield anchor, as an energetic, box to box tornado of engine room intensity or -- as we saw in his first season with the Reds, under Kenny Dalglish -- as a right midfielder in midfield four, the captain has been a consistent performer for most of the time since his summer 2011 move from Sunderland.

Thiago Could Have Lessons For Liverpool's Jones
For an incalculable number of reasons, the signing of Thiago Alcantara is a huge boost for Liverpool.
On the pitch, off the pitch, for dressing room morale and from a marketability viewpoint, the 29-year-old Spaniard could -- and should -- prove an extremely valuable acquisition for the Reds.
But perhaps the biggest impact that the former FC Bayern midfield linchpin could have is on the young players in the English Champions' squad, especially the likes of Curtis Jones.

Exciting Times To Be A Red - Drink It In
The date is Tuesday, 1st May, 1990. Liverpool have beaten Arthur Cox's Derby County 1-0 at Anfield. Having already wrapped up the league title a week prior following a 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers, the Anfield faithful were preparing to witness Steve McMahon lift the trophy up in the air - for the nineteenth time.
Such was the bar that Kenny Dalglish's relentless Reds set throughout their heyday in the 1970s and 1980s, winning First Division Championships were no …
A Full Circle
I have been a Liverpool fan since 2002 when the football scene in Malaysia was booming. Everyone in school had a favourite English football team. The earliest game I can recall is the one where we lost to Man United 2-1 when the ball went through Dudek's legs to Forlan. Yeah that game! That’s my earliest memory of LFC.
From then to now, from Hyypia to Gerrard to Hendo, the journey has been amazing. Other clubs may have seen more …
How James Milner became an unexpected Liverpool hero
This week marked the five year anniversary of James Milner's arrival at Liverpool, making the switch from Manchester City on a free transfer.
After weeks of speculation as to where the Yorkshireman would end up, it was former boss Brendan Rodgers who managed to persuade Milner to choose Anfield over any other potential destination.
While securing Millie's services was seen as a brilliant piece of business, especially on a free deal, there was no way of knowing just how much …
The What Could Have Been Liverpool XI: Attack
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 as, with the Reds or — with Torres as an example — enjoyed their career-best runs of form in a Liverpool shirt.
There have been …

Why Alexander-Arnold is Gerrard's heir
Countless players have been dubbed ‘the next Steven Gerrard’ over the years. Aaron Ramsey got the tag early on in his career, Dele Alli was supposed to be the reincarnation of the former Liverpool skipper but it wasn’t to be while there’s a strong belief that Birmingham City youngster Jude Bellingham is the long-term successor to the Whiston-born whirlwind’s crown.
The truth is, however, that Gerrard’s heir is already playing for the Reds. Trent Alexander-Arnold might not be the most …
Where would Steven Gerrard fit into this Liverpool team?
While it's practically impossible to improve on the kind of perfection that this Liverpool team has embodied over the last two year... it's always fun to fantasise, isn't it?
So with that being said, here's a Liverpool legend that might just fit into the greatest LFC side of our generation.
Steven Gerrard.
And before we get started, I don't think it's unfair to say that Captain Fantastic as he was so often referred to wouldn't fit into any of the …
How Would Xabi Alonso Fit Into This Liverpool Team
While it’s practically impossible to improve on the kind of perfection that this Liverpool team has embodied over the last two years… It’s always fun to fantasise, isn’t it?
So with that being said, here’s a Liverpool legend might just fit into the greatest LFC side of our generation.
Currently the Reds possess a wide choice of midfield options with multiple players all capable of performing in specific roles – in terms of depth this is the strongest that the …
