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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...
