The Case For Zero Liverpool Signings

Liverpool have been linked to several of Europe’s top prospects with De Ligt and Nicolas Pepe drawing the most interest. There is a case to be made that Liverpool should spend loads this summer …
Liverpool Fans: From Doubters to Winners
It’s always different than how you imagined it. Because imagination can’t possibly predict every emotion. The almost-overwhelming nerves in the build-up, the way your eyes close when the first rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone resounds throughout the Wanda Metropolitano, the sensation of suddenly being eight feet in the air when the ref blows for the penalty.
Words fail supporters of football clubs at those kinds of moments, and for Liverpool, a team so bound by fighting the unwavering tide, …

This Liverpool team continues to amaze us.
During the week, Klopp's mighty Redmen defied all the odds to knock Barcelona out of the Champions League and set up another final - this time against Spurs in Madrid.
Domestically, The Reds have still not given up the fight for a first …
Liverpool 4 Barcelona 0 - What happened? "Football"
What happened? “Football.”
The one-word response from Jurgen Klopp somehow summed up yet another breathtaking night at Anfield.
With the team missing three of its most vital performers in Mo Salah, Bobby Firmino and Naby Keita, the three goal deficit left for The Reds after the first leg was so insane that it somehow made us feel more confident. It was a set-up made for this crazy club.
Who would the manager piece together to take on this herculean task? …
Newcastle 2 Liverpool 3 - Rafa's Red Carpet Left Much To Be Desired
When the time comes, you'll be down in the crypts. They're the safest place to be.
We'll put you in the crypt, where it's safest.
Rafa will roll out the red carpet for Liverpool.

Cardiff 0-2 Liverpool: Player ratings as Reds make it nine in a row
It may not have been the most enjoyable watch, but literally all that matters in the heat of this title battle is the end result. Jurgen Klopp's ever-patient, rarely-ruffled Reds continued their delightful habit of finding a way to win ahead of a potentially decisive Manchester derby on Wednesday.
It was a set-piece that provided the opener against the resolute hosts shortly before the hour mark, with Georginio Wijnaldum lashing a bouncing ball beyond Neil Etheridge. Substitute James Milner then …
Cardiff 0 Liverpool 2 Match Report: Klopp On Top on Easter Sunday
A scuffed volley that lands perfectly on a Cardiff boot, caromed up to the top shelf where Grandma hides last year’s Easter Peeps. In season’s past, this would have been the ender, the heartbreak moment we all fear but deep down, somehow expect. But, this is Alisson Becker and he doesn’t have time for your anxieties. He simply punches a potential atomic-bomb over the bar in the 43rd minute and Liverpool go again.

Observations as Liverpool bag their second Champions League semi-final in 2 years
This wasn't vintage Liverpool, nor did it need to be. The Reds had done half the job at Anfield and just needed to maintain composure in Portugal, knowing that an away goal would likely be enough to see them through to their second semi-final in two years.
VAR Margins
VAR is essentially marmite - you either love it or you hate it. Some football fans will argue it takes away from the spontaneity of the game, the thrilling ecstasy and …
