Missing Pieces to the Liverpool Puzzle

Since Football began again, it is no secret that Liverpool have been lacklustre. Paling in comparison to the pre-lockdown versions of themselves, they have dropped 10 points in their last 7, double the amount they had dropped in their previous 29 games this season. Something obviously isn’t quite clicking for the Reds right now, but...

Time for Brewster to Oust Ineffective Origi

On Thursday night, two Liverpool strikers suffered very different fortunes. It was an evening to forget for the Reds, whose lack of intensity and focus was plain to see in a rather insipid defeat to Arsenal at the Emirates. As a last throw of the dice in the second half, Jurgen Klopp turned to Divock Origi...

Update On Rhian Brewster

Liverpool have been following the fortunes of Swansea City lately, checking up on the progress of young Reds' loanee, Rhian Brewster. The 20-year old forward, who joined the Swans on loan in January, has taken to life in the Championship -- his first regular exposure to adult football -- like a duck to water. At...

Silence isn’t golden

We’re a few weeks into this football falseness. We’ve won the league for the first time in 30 years and it felt incredible. But for me, only for a few hours. Then a form of depression set in; sadness that the trophy - that ugly silver premier league totem with an awfully grotesque lion atop -...

Why Thiago to Liverpool would be odd

Thiago Alcantara is the latest big name player to be (heavily) linked with Liverpool this summer. And he is the business. Thiago is an absolutely elite central midfielder, who would improve most central midfields in the entire world. If we’re being honest, he would improve Liverpool’s and would certainly be an exceptional option to have...

Henderson and his Legacy

For years, the feeling was that succeeding Steven Gerrard as Liverpool captain would be an impossible task. He’d kept us relevant when it looked as though we’d slip into mid-table obscurity. He’d dominated finals, sometimes single-handledly bringing trophies back to Anfield. He even had a special celebration for goals against Manchester United and he...

Key stats as hungover Liverpool routed by Man City

Liverpool’s Premier League title-winning hangover kicked off as they were resoundingly beaten 4-0 by a dominant Manchester City side at the Etihad Stadium. What are the key stats from the first game since the Reds lifted their first title in 30 years? Pep’s Revenge This was Liverpool’s heaviest Premier League defeat in almost three years –...

Time for Liverpool to kick on

The very best teams don’t sit on their laurels. The very best teams don’t let winning slow them down. This Liverpool team have already demonstrated that to an extent. They took the valour of winning last year’s Champions League trophy and used that to push them on to an unprecedented Premier League performance, securing the...

Reflecting on August’s error of judgement

"Part of me can't help but think that the side that beat us to win the league by a point have strengthened while we've stood still." That's what I tweeted on 7 August 2019. Manchester City had just broken the bank for a big-name full-back again, this time Juventus' Joao Cancelo. Earlier in the summer,...

Cavani Liverpool’s Werner Alternative?

The ongoing global pandemic has already had a big impact on football finances. With games returning behind closed doors, clubs have been deprived of matchday revenues, in terms of hospitality, ticket sales, and other streams of income, such as club shop sales. Additionally, and more impactfully, television rebates — even given the fact they have...
