Why there’s every reason to believe Liverpool can win the league
Supporting this Liverpool team is a real joy at the moment. After an incredible December, the mighty Reds sit at the top of the table. A healthy 7 point lead over nearest rivals City. If that kind of lead had been offered to any Liverpool fan a month ago, every fan would have bitten your hand off. Yet here we are.
Destiny awaits
It seems harsh that after such a tremendous end to a memorable year another serious test awaits …

Can Momentum Be Liverpool’s Greatest Title Weapon?
No team thrives more with momentum behind them than Liverpool.
We are an emotional fanbase and when things are going well, the Reds can become an unstoppable force, as we have witnessed throughout history.
Using modern examples - I know, football existed well before 1992 - nothing stands out more than 2004/05 in that respect.
Nobody even gave Liverpool the slightest chance of glory in the Champions League that season, with countless teams ahead of them in the favourites' pecking …
Liverpool 0-0 Manchester City: Mahrez miss costs Citizens rare Anfield win
Liverpool kept their unbeaten Premier League start intact, just, as Riyad Mahrez's late penalty miss cost Manchester City the chance for a first league win at Anfield since 2003.
A stalemate was the last thing expected between the country's two finest teams, but a mutual respect between Jurgen Klopp and Pep Guardiola saw chances few and far between as the two teams suffocated each other in possession.
City had the better of the chances, culminating in Virgil van Dijk's challenge …

Liverpool Form
Liverpool's form has taken a definite hit over the last week or so. Yet, the most important fixture, in my view, was when Jurgen Klopp's men attained the most positive result of the last week - with Daniel Sturridge bagging a late equaliser at Stamford Bridge to maintain The Reds' unbeaten league …
Rampant Reds have no reason to fear European group
7. The number of combined league games lost by Paris Saint-Germain, Napoli and Red Star Belgrade Crvena Zvezda last season.
91. The number of points Napoli picked up in Serie A last season.
108. The number of league goals scored by PSG last season.
0. The number of fucks you should give, I'm giving or Jurgen Klopp will give.
Liverpool are cruising through Group C of the 2017/18 UEFA Champions (and 2nd, 3rd, 4th placed) League.
You might be worried. …
Klopp's Liverpool and Doing Things the Fun Way
Playing the Liverpool way.
It’s a fairly common trope, perhaps an oxymoron when every football club seems to have a “way” these days – there’s even a “Norwich way”, apparently. For Liverpool fans, however, identity is everything. Football is bound together by its unique fan culture, the interconnectedness of the football landscape means stories are perpetuated, and Liverpool’s story is one of decorated trophy cabinets and an envied atmosphere.
Perhaps Anfield’s atmosphere hasn’t lived up to its hype recently.
But …
Premier League 2018/19 Season Preview
After an enormously entertaining World Cup full of drama and decadence, we the football faithful have been cast into the darkness of a month without the beautiful game. This has not stopped the majority of the big Premier League clubs from making money moves in anticipation. Ahead, we preview what to expect from them this season.
Arsenal
Arsenal’s relatively early business in securing the tenacious Lucas Torreira (aptly auto-corrected to terrier), supplemented with the earlier additions of Borussia Dortmund’s spine, …
Why Liverpool Can Win The League (Redux)
Last summer I wrote a piece on how I thought it was possible Liverpool could win the Premier League title. I felt most of the points that I made in that article were largely valid, although of course things didn’t pan out the way we hoped. Overall, the lack of a centre-back signing, Phil Coutinho turning into a huge snake and Man City going full cheat mode were the big reasons we didn’t end up winning the league, but here …
How Klopp Could Unleash the Big Guns in the 4-2-2-2
A manager requires perpetual change if he’s to succeed in the savage land that is the Premier League.
That’s the narrative that gets swung about on the regular, amidst pundits and fans alike. In Pep Guardiola’s first season, his tactical ministrations were seen as too imposing, not giving English Football’s top tier its due. Jose Mourinho has been accused of remaining “stuck in his ways” on multiple occasions; accusations which surprisingly were most stark in the Champions League against Sevilla. …
