Three games into the new Premier League campaign, Liverpool have conceded six goals, whilst scoring just five. Experiments with players operating in new positions, no clear preferred back five, or defined midfield protection, result understandably in questions being asked, even at this early stage. The mistakes and uncertainty will fail to alleviate fans fears, that […]
Support is needed now more than ever This past weekend showed the best and the worst from our players on the pitch. It also showed the positives and negatives of our own fan-behaviour off it. At this stage I’m tired of hearing about Alberto Moreno’s shortcomings. I was guilty of voicing these concerns myself […]
The Premier League is back with a bang and in typical Liverpool fashion the Reds made their fans sweat on a result when it could’ve been much more comfortable. You could look at the negatives if you’re that way inclined but, for me at least, it was a performance filled with positives and they’re what […]
Going from “we’re going to win the league” after beating Barcelona 4-0, to the outlook being doom and gloom within just 24 hours after losing to Mainz by the same scoreline is precisely why I try not to read too much into pre-season friendlies. They are essentially just for fitness, integrating new players and coaches […]
It’s a new dawn in the Premier League. Not just in terms of more money than ever being pumped into the league effectively evening the playing field somewhat, but more importantly, never before have people been able to find a collection of the most influential managers in world football today within the same league at […]
Since Jurgen Klopp was appointed as Liverpool manager he’s been up against it. Before he even got chance to take charge of his first match he lost both Joe Gomez and Danny Ings to ACL injuries, he then had to navigate his way through the remainder of the season without Mamadou Sakho, Dejan Lovren, Jordan […]
Football fans are fickle. Liverpool fans seem even more so. Even as I type this out at half-time of our friendly against Wigan, there has been one peak example. Whilst receiving a square ball about 6 yards out from his net, Karius slipped and almost allowed a tap in for a Wigan striker. He recovered, […]
The picture below was posted on Social Media recently. It’s of Jurgen Klopp holding a tactics board while talking to the squad during preseason. It’s a picture that has generated a lot of debate on Twitter with fans talking about how the team lined up on the board. Depending on how you view it will […]
The Liverpool Echo, more specifically James Pearce, recently published an article informing Liverpool fans that Jurgen Klopp no longer had an interest in Bayern Munich’s Mario Gotze and he was happy with his attacking options moving forward into the new season. Given the Reds were looking to bring in Monaco’s Kylian Mbappe and Rennes’ Ousmane […]
The initial buzz of the summer transfer window seems to have died down a little. The Piotr Zielinski deal never materialised as many had expected and a Mario Gotze U-turn meant the German hasn’t been pictured leaning around Melwood just yet. Loris Karius is the sole signing this summer so far, but with Ben Chilwell […]
