On the back of a lacklustre performance off of the bench against Brighton, and a poor start against Leicester, the usually PR conscious back office staff at Liverpool Football Club decided to announce a contract extension for Jordan Henderson.
Okay, okay...
For most clubs, a contract extension for the team captain in the prime of his...
Four games, twelve points, a single goal conceded. The supporters couldn't have hoped for a better start of the season. Or could we? The Reds aren't really blowing teams away, one can perhaps label our last two victories scrappy. Liverpool supporters can make a great case study on human nature. It's been exactly ten...
After a series of games in which one team opened themselves up to be spatially exploited, and two decided to sit tight and deep, Leicester offered a new and different challenge to those Liverpool have already faced this season. Leicester were far more aggressive than previous opponents, but the game was largely characterised by...
With Liverpool having one of the most feared attacks in Europe for the past season, we are seeing more and more teams sit back and defend deep against us. Although the past season has seen us improve in the way we play against these type of sides there are still too many occasions when...
Naby Keita, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Fabinho and Gini Wijnaldum. Seven midfielders, all of whom are justified in thinking themselves worthy of a starting position in the Liverpool line-up.
Had you asked many fans which of the above would be looking for a club over the summer, the betting would suggest...
Ron Burgundy had three vulnerabilities in life... women, his dog Baxter, and the fact that he would read whatever was on the teleprompter. Our manager has a similar tick. If Jordan Henderson is available, he'll put him on the team sheet. It didn't matter that Emre Can was miles better. ...

This year feels different mind you. The Reds now have the depth of quality; Shaqiri, Lallana, Sturridge and...
When Roberto Firmino was denied by Mat Ryan in Saturday's gritty 1-0 win over Brighton, a nagging thought entered my mind immediately.
"He's still looking for his first goal of the season", I thought, knowing full well where the current narrative is slowly heading towards Liverpool's brilliant Brazilian, rather than being worried about his form.
The...
A mere 3 games into a highly anticipated new season and Liverpool sit atop the Premier League table. While it's still early days, with the integration of new players underway, it's extremely satisfying to see the club hit maximum points thus far. 9 points, zero goals conceded, firing at probably only 60-70% of our true level....
Three games in, and Liverpool’s start to the Premier League campaign has been impressive, if not necessarily electrifying. The Reds started explosively against West Ham, but in the following two games, against Palace away and Brighton at home, Liverpool have relied more on a strong and stable defensive base than their typical vibrant attacking...
