Well, this is bizarre.
Not since the days of Rafa Benitez has Liverpool’s fanbase, as a collective, been able to relax.
No, not when Martin Skrtel and Dejan Lovren compounded previously inflicted wounds, very visible wounds that kept on bleeding. Calling the 2014/15-era Glen Johnson a liability would be a compliment, Lucas Leiva’s personal hobby of...
MANCHESTER, England: The walls were closing in on Jose Mourinho’s tenure at Manchester United as a hugely unfancied Newcastle side, managed by (one of) the Portuguese’s biggest rivals visited Old Trafford, to try and seal the 3-time Premier League champion (as he is constantly reminding us) managers fate.
The history of bad blood between the...
Liverpool’s aura of invincibility was always going to be pierced at some point.
Retrospectively, it was almost inevitable that Jose Mourinho and the “anti-football” rhetoric that surrounds his Manchester United side would be the pin that burst Jürgen Klopp’s bubble. Following a dismal exit in the FA Cup at the hands of West Bromwich Albion,...
So here we go again, the return of one of the most unbearable fixtures for many Liverpool fans: Man United away.
It is a game that we love to win more than just about any other but know all too well how bleak defeat can be.
Unfortunately, that has often been the case at Old Trafford...
Jurgen Klopp isn’t as universally fashionable as he was when he became Liverpool manager back in October 2015 - I think we can all agree on that.
When Klopp arrived on our shores he was treated like a God by Reds supporters - something we love to do with our managers - and his appointment...
With the nervous energy ticking over as we approach Saturday's game, what follows are some musings on the United game. We drew with United twice last season and struggled to create chances against them, such is Mourinho's mastery at controlling and limiting space against top quality opposition. We continue to struggle against the parked...
Whisper it quietly, but Liverpool have actually played very well in general so far this season, regardless of the current narrative surrounding the Reds. Too many people judge a team’s success and form solely on results, but that can cloud the wider picture.
If you actually scan through Liverpool’s 12 matches in 2017/18 to date,...
The international break is over, and Liverpool have bad form and the loss of Sadio Mane to overcome. Just another international break that has brought strife to the Reds, then. And if that wasn't enough, the Reds welcome a red-hot Manchester United to Anfield on Saturday, as Jurgen Klopp finally looks to find a...
THE DETAILS
Venue – Anfield, Liverpool
Referee – Martin Atkinson
Date & Time – Saturday, October 14th 2017 @ 12:30 BST
FORM
To put it simply, Man United are red hot. Liverpool aren't. United have drawn one game in the season so far, a 2-2 away draw at Stoke, and have won all their other games. Liverpool have had...
I’ll warn you, this is a bit of a sob story and I am absolutely looking for sympathy. As a “southern softie”, what more do you expect?
When it comes to being a Liverpool supporter from the south of England, I can assure you that the hour or so after losing to Man United is...
