A hangover, Real Madrid still playing on their minds etc etc. Whichever way you dress it up or whatever excuses could be made, this was a terrible game of football. Crystal Palace’s own struggles aside, it’s hard to believe this was a team who are supposed to be chasing champions league football and as...
Jurgen Klopp was clear and direct in his press conference on Friday morning. Liverpool have some knocks from the Real Madrid game, so they have and want to make changes to the line-up. Who and what they might be is open to speculation until 6:45pm on Saturday night, but the manager talked about focusing...
After a rather enjoyable league renaissance, Liverpool’s brief resurrection reverted to form in midweek, with an astonishing 2-5 loss unfolding at home to Real Madrid. The result and manner in which the reds capitulated was a horrible watch, leaving them (realistically) only one path into Europe next season. This Saturday evening sees Jürgen Klopp...
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...
Shall we be Real? Well, we can’t be. Real Madrid are the biggest club in the world. They are defending the Champions League, a trophy they’ve won in four of the past nine seasons.
If you’re freaked out that Liverpool are not as good as them, you’re taking bedwetting to new levels. It is not...
In true Liverpool style, it’s always a name that comes from left-field when it does. There’s none more reliable than David Ornstein and his confirmation this morning that current Eintracht Frankfurt Sporting Director Markus Krosche is in the running for the same role at Anfield carries serious weight. With affairs off-the-field currently in flux...
It usually takes a while for the mainstream journalists to cotton on. The 2-5 defeat this week was a moment when even the world’s most self-satisfied ostriches raised an eyebrow above the line of the sand.
“Jurgen Klopp’s first great Liverpool era is over” shrieked Chris Bascombe.
“Liverpool may even struggle to qualify next season” simpered...
Well ... you can put away all your Arabic to English converters finally as they won’t be needed anymore. After months of the loudest silence the other side of the Atlantic, FSG and more relevantly its leader John W Henry has confirmed that Liverpool Football Club is not for sale, but is discussing investment....
A schooling, a hammering and absolute annihilation. Three comments I saw on social media afterwards, which are all completely true. What started to look like being another dream night at Anfield quickly disintegrated into an absolute nightmare for Liverpool as they were well beaten by an outstanding Real Madrid side. Even the most optimistic...
When Liverpool was at their Premier & Champions League winning peak, there were certain players that were able to drive the team to a brilliantly unbeatable standard. In goal we had the best stopper on the planet, at fullback we had the most ridiculously attacking wide men who would consistently service the attack, in...
