Jordan Henderson
At the Riverside Stadium, I was able to enjoy what is sadly a rare pleasure for me: getting to attend a Liverpool match in person. It was a good match and a very positive performance, so I could write about how Liverpool comprehensively outclassed Middlesbrough and were, in no way, flattered by the 3-0 score line, […]
Whilst I understand fans being upset at the nature of Liverpool’s capitulation to Bournemouth last weekend (trust me, I was pissed off too), I feel the level of fume by some was somewhat disproportionate. Some people were losing their minds. Yes, it was bad, hence my use of the word capitulation and yes, fans have […]
There’s a saying that springs to mind when I think of Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson – that is fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me. For a lot of fans my use of this analogy when I talk about Henderson may be a small bit confusing. Well let me explain. When Henderson […]

Liverpool start a busy December month with an away trip to AFC Bournemouth on Sunday, a game which could present Jürgen Klopp’s men with a chance to return to the top of the table. The Reds are set to play six fixtures over the festive period, culminating with the big game against Manchester City on […]
Going in to the international break Liverpool found themselves sitting proudly at the top of the English Premier League table. A 6-0 demolition of Watford had shown Liverpool at their best, full of incisive passing and vertical movement that rendered their opponent’s defensive structure in pieces. International breaks are either a blessing or a curse […]
In times before the great Liverpool ascendancy of season 2016/17; before Jürgen’s rampant Reds stormed into the Premier League landscape and claimed it as their stomping ground, there was a 20 year-old starlet coming through the ranks in Borussia Mönchengladbach. It was hardly a well-kept secret that Klopp, in his first summer transfer window at […]
After an international break spent at the top of the table, Liverpool return to Premier League action with a trip to St. Mary’s. Last year’s visits there were contrasting, to say the least – the Reds thumped Southampton 6-1 in the League Cup quarter-final in December, before a nightmare later in the season, where they blew […]
Hallelujah. The international breaks of 2016 are over, and we’ve now got around four months of uninterrupted domestic football on our hands. Liverpool resume their campaign on Saturday with an away fixture against Southampton. A trip to Saint Mary’s, especially on a cold November Saturday, is always a tricky one, but Liverpool go into it top […]
Back in the summer, who really expected to be this happy about Liverpool by the time early November arrived? Come on, be honest. We all saw that daunting run of early fixtures, and when the joy of beating Arsenal was soured by the woeful result at Burnley, even a top-four challenge felt a long way […]
