Renewing James Milner Is a Step Backwards 

Another year goes by, which brings us to the moment where James Milner is primed to be given yet another 1 year’s contract extension.   I’m a fan of James Milner, as I believe he has a superb attitude for football, can offer vast experience (to younger players) and can be a senior presence on the...

Liverpool Midfield: Two Steps Forward …

It’s okay for those people to admit to themselves or others now the dust has finally settled on Sunday. As one scroll of social media would have told you, not too different for most weeks truth be told, there was a real nervousness around the midfield that Jurgen Klopp had selected. There wasn’t too...

Curtis Jones Should Be Next In Line

On so many occasions this season we have seen our Liverpool team stumble to either a disappointing or disastrous result. The recent dropping of Naby Keita has clearly left the Guinean international staring adoringly at the exit door. We know that both he and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be leaving (when their contracts expire in...

The Reason We Love Klopp Could Be His Undoing

I loved Kenny Dalglish because he was the King, whilst I was all in on Souness because of his Liverpool heritage, until that went very wrong. Roy Evans was a joyful figure that brought a wonderful feel to our football, before Gérard Houllier became the man that delivered a bucket load of silverware. Rafael...

Which Liverpool Players Should Make Way for The Regeneration?

The worse this Liverpool team gets, the more likely there will be wholesale changes within the club. I don’t think the manager is a certainty to start next season in our dugout, but there are many players I would rather see leave before our illustrious German coach. Klopp has recently dismissed the notion of...

All hope far from lost in Liverpool’s top-four push

As Liverpool games go, few in history have felt more dispiriting than Tuesday's 5-2 mauling at the hands of Real Madrid in the Champions League. Frustratingly, the Reds actually played well for a chunk of the first half, racing into a 2-0 lead, with much-maligned individuals such as Fabinho and Jordan Henderson looking more like...

Tony Evans Column: Buckle Up! Beat Newcastle & Madrid to Avoid a Total Bust

The performance against Everton felt like a throwback to a golden age. Last season. Things change that quickly. Granted, the Blues were really poor. We expected the Dogs of War. Instead we got yard-dogs with distemper. Still, there are grounds for optimism after the derby. The pace of the front three for the opening strike was...

Newcastle and Real Madrid the real gauge of ‘revitalised’ Liverpool

Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Everton was a delight. It earned the Reds local bragging rights, it represented a much-needed return to winning ways, and most importantly, it resembled something close to the team of old. All of a sudden, there was more purpose in the pressing, more focus at the back and more cohesion in the...

Liverpool 2 – 0 Everton – The Post-Mortem

I wrote last week how the issues engulfing Manchester City (right now), could have a positive effect on the Reds' mentality. With Pep Guardiola having had a series of press conference meltdowns, it would have surely changed the dynamic and conversation within the AXA training ground to see their rivals being charged (with over...

Lessons Learned In Win Over Everton

Ahhh ... I love the smell of a derby victory in the morning! Probably like most Reds who’ve been sampling every bit of content they can, Liverpool aren’t fully back but you can relive the key movements from the match again without your eyes closed. The scoreline didn’t flatter them and whilst there will...
