Karius
Football can be strange. Fans are often found moaning about the current state of the sport, about how players are overindulged and clubs are greedy.  How everything in the player’s existence is excessive – the wages, the cars and the lives they live.  So it’s kind of ironic that in reality we as fans are just […]
Liverpool moved into second place, at least temporarily, after a 2-1 win away to Swansea, meaning the Reds go into the international break off the back of four straight league wins. A time for Reds fans to celebrate, to smile about the work Jürgen Klopp has put in so far? Not in some cases – […]
Four consecutive weekends now. That’s how long Liverpool have resisted the urge to ruin my weekend. Life is good. I could get used to being able to watch Match of the Day safely in the knowledge we’ve taken 3 points away from our match. Not since 2013/14 have fans been afforded such a luxury and […]
Liverpool showed great character and resilience as they came back from a one goal deficit and a poor first-half performance to take all three points from the Liberty Stadium. Such wins show the mental toughness of the whole team, a trait which every champion team possess. This is how the Reds fared. Loris Karius (5) – […]
Given Liverpool’s failure to qualify for European football this season, you’d imagine that most fans will be looking forward to this away day, as the Reds cross the Welsh border to face Swansea City on Saturday. It’s a lunchtime kick-off, one that the Reds will be desperate to win, in another challenge as they hope […]
Jurgen Klopp has shown just how ruthless he can be this season with squad selection when he dropped Belgian ‘keeper Simon Mignolet in favour of Loris Karius for the match against Hull City. While the general consensus seemed to be Mignolet was on borrowed time after a series of errors last season and he was […]
I’m excited people. Very excited. The last time I was this excited about a Liverpool squad was, believe it or not, pre-Suarez/Sturridge/Sterling. Back in the day, the spine of Reina, Carra, Mascherano, Alonso, Gerrard and Torres was the strongest I’ve seen at Anfield, and a wonderful foundation to build a side on from front to […]
After a dynamic one-off performance on the Match Ratings column (a la Moreno) from Sam McGuire in the midweek cup game, we are back to the usual dour, weekly match ratings piece (a la Milner) from yours truly. 9 goals in 2 games at home. Conceded 2 unnecessary goals at home. Clearly we are doing […]
It was unnerving watching Liverpool against Derby but not in the way Liverpool fans have come to expect when facing lower league opposition. It was a professional job by the Reds. There weren’t many, if any, scares defensively, there was no complacency from anybody in the team and, in the end, it was an assured […]
A game of two halves if there ever was one, as the Tricky Reds displayed multiple facets of their game as Liverpool ground out another away win at Chelsea, the second on the bounce. Lets see how the Reds fared. Simon Mignolet (6) – Wretched first half from Mignolet as he was his usual dithering […]
