How Are Liverpool’s New Kids On The Block Faring?

A third of the 2015/16 season has already passed, but it’s been a topsy-turvy three months for Liverpool. We’ve seen a change of manager, rumours of Steven Gerrard’s return and an injury-ravaged squad which would make Abou Diaby and Darren Anderton feel at home. Among those to have been sidelined are some of the eight...

Jordan Henderson | Return of the unsung hero

Not so long ago, he was the butt of many an opposition fan and a few too many journalists as well; sometimes even sections of our own fans. Moving to England’s most successful club is a lot of pressure for any player, let alone as a 20 year old with a £16m price tag...

Tactical Flexibility: Klopp’s and Rodgers’

Jürgen Klopp was showered with praise on his arrival at Liverpool Football Club. The charismatic former Borussia Dortmund and Mainz 05 coach was lauded for his compelling style of football and infectious enthusiasm for the game. Despite the generally buoyant reception, there were - perhaps sensibly - some commentators who warned that the man isn't...

Fan Fiction – Understanding The Anfield Atmosphere

The current debate over the lack of atmosphere at Anfield has reignited a tiresome argument about the validity of the support offered by different types of fans. Frankly, it’s an extremely tedious contretemps, and it merely highlights the depressing reality that some pugnacious elements of our fan base seem to revel more in petty...

Sakho – The Parisian titan’s injury couldn’t be crueller

rIt has been clear to Liverpool fans for a while that Mamadou Sakho is an absolute titan of a man. He shows a passion for the club that scousers can identify with, but more than that he is the complete modern centre-half. He is comfortable getting tight on strikers, stepping up and defending on...

Should Liverpool Replace Simon Mignolet?

The average sandwich Liverpool have many recurring problems that previous management failed to address. As a team we're grossly misbalanced. Many frailties have been overlooked. We're buying potential and not supporting them with talented players, instead we're heaping the pressure on their shoulders and asking them to do something special. Average, functional players sandwiched in-between...

Klopp, Atmosphere and Fans Leaving Early

"The goal was on 82 minutes - 12 minutes to go - and I saw many people leaving the stadium. I felt pretty alone in that moment. Between 82 and 94 minutes, you can make 8 goals if you want and we have to work for it." Jurgen Klopp has only been here for a...

Joe Allen: From Xavi to Iniesta

Pirlo hair. Alonso beard. Welcome to the 5ft 6 enigma that is Joe Allen. Arriving at Liverpool FC three years ago, he was hailed as our catalyst for the tiki-taka, death-by-football programme. Now, he is viewed with – at best – indifference or – at worst – contempt. What happened? Over the last three seasons a culmination of...

Which Loaned Out Players Will Thrive Under Jurgen Klopp?

Jürgen Klopp is a manager that can really get the best out of a player. The German’s ferocious manner and attitude can act as the catalyst for big performances as his charges take the lead from their manager and play at the same tempo Jürgen prowls at the touchline. This is probably his biggest...

Ibe-lieve in Jordon!

When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things. Joe Namath  Liverpool’s victory against Bournemouth in the Capital one cup was the turning point for one of England's brightest stars Jordon Ibe. Not every turning point requires two assists and a hat trick. Some turning...
