Luis Suarez: We Could Never Get Enough
The Controversial Yet Genius Career of Luis Suarez
As Liverpool fans, we've been lucky to witness an amazing collection great players throughout the history of the club. No matter your age, you'll have seen great players wearing the famous red shirt. Everybody has their favourites, everyone has their own choice as to who the best they've seen is.
Often, people's views on who the greatest player in club history is will be influenced by their age and the era they …
Will this be Mo Salah's final season in a Liverpool shirt?
When Mo Salah arrived at Liverpool in 2017, few would scarcely have believed the heights he would hit at Anfield in the six years that have followed.
Let's not forget that some even thought he was being signed as a backup option to Sadio Mane. Genuinely!
There is no question that Salah is now one of the greatest players in Liverpool's history, though, belonging firmly in the same company as Steven Gerrard, Kenny Dalglish, John Barnes, Ian Rush, Graeme Souness, …
Favourite LFC Signings And Worst LFC Departures: Good Buys And Goodbyes: Part 2
So myself and Trev were having a chat because neither of us could think of what to write this week. We'd both had ideas but none of them seemed to be worth pursuing at this moment in time. It's the transfer window, people want transfer related content and being the kind, considerate lads that we are we thought it best to give the people what they want.
We settled on the concept of favourites signings and least favourite sales, with …
Favourite LFC Signings And Worst LFC Departures: Good Buys and Goodbyes: Part 1
I assume, gentle reader, that you, like me, are a hopeless consumer. It's not our fault. Decades of crass commercialism, manipulative media advertising and force-fed capitalistic ideology have taught us to crave the next purchase and moulded us into believing that the next shiny thing will be the one that finally fills the yawning void in our cynical 21st century souls. Cars, clothes, books and kayaks are how I self-medicate, for example. I know, it sounds just as mental to …
Another Poor Season and Trent Alexander-Arnold Might Leave
Trent Alexander-Arnold was excellent in midfield in England’s 7-0 thumping of North Macedonia. His performance did not answer any of the questions that swirl around the 24-year-old, though.
Of course he can dominate the central areas against a team as bad as North Macedonia. Gareth Southgate deploying him as an out-and-out midfielder is hardly the act of an innovator. The England manager is deeply conservative and is unwilling to take the risk of playing TAA at full back. It’s doubtful …
Tony Evans: Trent Alexander-Arnold Will Always Be A Full-Back, Embrace It
Let’s put the six goals at Elland Road into context. Roy Hodgson’s Crystal Palace scored five there.
OK, we’re starting with a cold shower. But Monday night was a step in the right direction.
Quite a few of the team seemed to have their appetite for the game back. Diogo Jota’s two goals were a relief to everyone. And Trent Alexander-Arnold’s performance boded well.
Again, it was only Leeds. But getting TAA on the ball and involved is high on …
Tony Evans: A Rampant Steve Heighway & Our Future Alien Overlords
Steve Heighway has retired from coaching. It’s hard to believe he’s 75. His greatness should not be underestimated.
He had a big impact on my family. The decision was taken before the 1971 FA Cup Final that the child my mother was carrying would be named after the first player to score in the big match.
Did my parents fear that Emlyn Hughes would notch? Probably not. Did they know it was going to be a boy? No. A girl …
The Brilliance of Steve McManaman
When listening to Champions League matches on BT Sport, there’s perhaps younger viewers unsure of the ex footballer on co-commentary. For the past few seasons a certain Scouse voice has echoed through the midweek coverage, and everyone should be made aware of what this man was, as a player himself.
When thinking of the former Liverpool player, Steve McManaman, I try not to immerse myself too much into what he offers from the gantry, but the absolute brilliance he brought …
Terry McDermott - You’ll Never Walk Alone
Having been born in 1981, I had the privilege of watching legends and players of such quality, and that European and domestic dominance was assured. John Barnes, Ian Rush, Peter Beardsley, Alan Hansen, Ronnie Whelan & Bruce Grobellelar were just some my first generation of Liverpool players, albeit at a very young age. My best and clearest memory of Liverpool FC probably started at the back end of those players, as King Kenny neared the end of his first reign. …
The Team That Was - Liverpool 1989/90
I was lucky enough to grow up in an era where Liverpool won an array of trophies on a regular basis. If we didn’t win the league one season, you could bank on us winning it the next; such was our dominance.
Sadly, these trophies dried up to largely become few and far between. In the case of the league title, it completely evaporated. As rival fans like to shove down our throats, Liverpool have never won the Premier League …
