Thiago Influence Can Lift Jordan Henderson To Old Self
Jordan Henderson is an extremely versatile player, as we've seen throughout the entirety of his Liverpool career.
Whether it's been as the midfield anchor, as an energetic, box to box tornado of engine room intensity or -- as we saw in his first season with the Reds, under Kenny Dalglish -- as a right midfielder in midfield four, the captain has been a consistent performer for most of the time since his summer 2011 move from Sunderland.
Playing as the …
Let's Talk About 1990
Liverpool’s first league title in 30 years is within touching distance. Jürgen Klopp has masterminded an incredible season that has broken records along the way, with a team that is likely to go down in Liverpool folklore.
But how did things look back in 1990? Well, here’s a taster as we step back in time to look at what was happening the last time the Reds were league champions.

Sadio Mané's goal at Fulham meant 36-year-old Rush and Dalglish achievement was equalled
Sadio Mané's opening goal in Liverpool's 2-1 win at Fulham last Sunday meant that he and Mohamed Salah had managed to achieve something last managed by club legends Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush, 36 years ago!
As reported in Liverpoolfc.com, Salah and Mané became the first pair of Reds forwards to both reach at least 20 goals each in all competitions for two seasons in a row since 1983.
Last season, Mané scored 20 goals as Liverpool finished fourth in …
The Team That Was - Liverpool 1989/90
I was lucky enough to grow up in an era where Liverpool won an array of trophies on a regular basis. If we didn’t win the league one season, you could bank on us winning it the next; such was our dominance.
Sadly, these trophies dried up to largely become few and far between. In the case of the league title, it completely evaporated. As rival fans like to shove down our throats, Liverpool have never won the Premier League …

Klopp's Liverpool and Doing Things the Fun Way
Playing the Liverpool way.
It’s a fairly common trope, perhaps an oxymoron when every football club seems to have a “way” these days – there’s even a “Norwich way”, apparently. For Liverpool fans, however, identity is everything. Football is bound together by its unique fan culture, the interconnectedness of the football landscape means stories are perpetuated, and Liverpool’s story is one of decorated trophy cabinets and an envied atmosphere.
Perhaps Anfield’s atmosphere hasn’t lived up to its hype recently.

Being a Liverpool Supporter - The Anxiety is Real
It's been 6 years since Liverpool last won a trophy, the League Cup under Kenny Dalglish in the 2011-12 season. And the previous trophy to that was the FA Cup in 2006. And it feels like approximately 408 years since we last won the league. So it's fair to say that Liverpool fans have been through some tough seasons in recent times.
Unfortunately, this has led to some serious negativity amongst the fanbase.
There is no doubt that success breeds …
