During this season I’ve written quite a bit about its seemingly endless twists and turns, the high points, and on the back of the latest bump in the road that sent the Liverpool wagon spinning off the rails, the occasional lows.
It’s to be expected of course. New manager, new tactical masterplan, players signed for...
Liverpool's disappointing loss to Southampton was the definition of a game of two halves. The first half was a Jurgen Klopp masterclass. The Reds were like a Duracell bunny in the first half; first to second balls, pressing Southampton before they reached the Liverpool half and devastating when transitioning defence into attack. The second...
For 12 years, the presence of Steven Gerrard ensured that, of all the problems that Liverpool faced, finding a captain was never an issue. Add to that the presence of stalwarts like Jamie Carragher, Sami Hyypia and Xabi Alonso, and it is not difficult to understand why leadership was never an issue.
But when Gerrard...
Emre Can put in a man of the match performance under the lights of Old Trafford on Thursday night and in doing so cemented his place in the hearts and minds of the Liverpool faithful. Our very own Turkish delight dominated the midfield with a brilliant performance entrenched with power, pace and technical quality...
It was written in the stars, with an almost certain inevitability to it, that Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund would be drawn together in the Europa League quarter-finals.

I admire Hansen for what he helped the club achieve but he will find that even Klopp for...
Hands up if you were one of the fans who jumped feet first on to the "Lovren is shit" bandwagon? Hands up if you are one of the fans who would be at the front of the bandwagon organising the Lovren is shit chorus? Who could blame you right? For nearly eighteen months of...
Liverpool take a healthy two goal lead into the Europa League second leg against Manchester United, but can be rest assured that things won't be easy at Old Trafford, as the Old Enemy will look to pull all straps to ensure that they knock the Reds out of contention for their last piece of...
Manchester United fans seem to think the tie is over. Liverpool fans are spending their time debating how many goals they'll win by. It's a surreal scenario if you're of a certain age. The first thought is to assume the pressure is on Manchester United ahead of the match on Thursday but if anything...
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...
