Liverpool FC Summers: Four Meaningful Trips
Being a Liverpool FC supporter living in America is a different kind of commitment. You have to be an early riser to catch matches on weekend morning, you have to block out your work calendars for Champions League afternoons, and most of all you must seize any opportunity offered to you to see the Reds play if they are ever anywhere near you. Such has been the case for me since 2012 when LFC began their regular pilgrimages to North …
How Andy Robertson compares to his rival left-backs this season
I recently wrote an article discussing whether Liverpool had found themselves a new left-back and compared Andy Robertson's stats to his team-mate and rival for the position Alberto Moreno. Having made some interesting findings I thought it would be a good idea to see how the Scott compares to some of the Premier league's stand-out left-backs this season. If the 24-year-old wants to be the long-term solution then he must develop into one of the Premier league's best full-backs, so …
Liverpool vs Manchester United - Premier League Match Preview
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 only one win since beating Arsenal 4-0 before the last international break.
The reversal of fortunes that the previous international fortnight …
Liverpool supporters - Be Careful what you wish for
Liverpool goalkeeper Loris Karius, having presided over 3-0, 5-1 and 2-1 wins in his opening three competitive games for Liverpool, could probably be forgiven if a part of him has spent the international break wondering what he has done so wrong.
Having recovered from the broken hand which caused him to miss Liverpool’s first five League games of the season, the man who was voted by his peers as second only to Bayern Munich’s Manuel Neuer amongst Bundesliga goalkeepers last …
A Look at the Liverpool Defence
After yet another Liverpool capitulation, this time a 3-2 loss against Southampton, there has been copious amounts of finger pointing with regards to what went wrong and who is at fault for the result.
Martin Skrtel was a standout performer for the home side as they turned around a 2-0 half time deficit. He gifted Southampton a penalty 4 minutes after coming on at half time and his half didn't improve. This performance came off the back of the Slovakian …
Manchester United vs Liverpool: Europa League Preview
It could be said that taking a 2-0 home lead into the away leg of any European tie can give a team great confidence. However, the same might not be said of a fanbase, as Liverpool supporters pray that their side doesn't let their impressive Anfield performance slip, as they visit Old Trafford to face Manchester United in the Europa League Round of 16 Second Leg.
Despite the slight negativity, it's fair to say that it's all going swimmingly so …
Here's to You Jordan Henderson - Return of Captain Fantastic
The good news keeps on coming for Liverpool FC, Jordan Henderson has returned to training and should be available to play after the international break!
The Liverpool captain, who still divides opinion amongst fans and pundits, has been absent since August after he broke a bone in his foot during training. Before the bone break, Henderson had been in and out of the side due to a heel injury and had therefore only played two games for Liverpool this season.

Brendan Rodgers: "What are you doing?"
Stood in the middle of a bar in Huddersfield. United fans surrounding me, but my Liverbird proudly making it’s presence felt, or more putting on a brave face as I begin to believe a comeback was on the cards for a split second. Christian Benteke’s over head kick momentarily stunned the Mancs, maybe they believed too.
I don’t know if it was the excitement, the Carlings I had been forcing down or a cocktail of both, but something came out …
Passion or Hatred from Steven Gerrard? Or a mix of both?
Times are changing.
I'm sure we all remember the days when Liverpool vs United was won by who wanted it more. Passion fuelled by hatred. The game that felt it was always one tackle away from anarchy. The fans created a hostile atmosphere that the players fed off. Tackles cheered like goals. It's no wonder it was like this, it's installed into you from a young age as a Liverpool fan; beat united at all costs.
Steven Gerrard epitomised this. …
