Liverpool’s form has picked up, the team seem to be gelling, and there’s a lot of belief among the Anfield faithful that something very special could be upon us and our beloved Reds.
This I expect.
What I didn’t expect, however, was for neutrals and bookies to be quite so on board as well. Last I...
At the end of the transfer window, Jurgen Klopp looked at his left back options, nodded and moved on. With Alberto Moreno throwing himself about with reckless abandon, the German gave the shirt to the 30 year old James Milner, knowing that the Yorkshireman would simply get on with it. Left back was done...
There has always been the resounding criticism towards the business of football that footballers are out tune with reality with fancy sports cars, ballooned wages and the vast array of public affection (and hatred) clouding players’ minds.
What is often seen with this privilege that footballers enjoy is, exaggerated egos, societal attitudes that places themselves...
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...
Jurgen Klopp has done a lot of good since being appointed as Liverpool manager, and he's been rightly lauded for it, but one area that went under the radar was his ability on the training pitch.

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) - Karius...
Liverpool are a team on fire currently with an unbeaten run in the league stretching to four games, with victories in the last three games on the trot. They will be travelling to the Liberty Stadium to face Swansea, who are in a bit of a rut with calls for dismissal of the manager...
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...
There isn’t an awful lot to say, in general, about Liverpool’s performance last Saturday that Hull City captain Curtis Davies hasn’t already covered. Two aspects of what he said after the game are particularly encouraging from a Liverpool perspective. Firstly, as Davies points out, “Liverpool have that mix of nice little passes and then...
