Time for a winning mentality to return at Liverpool

When you look at Liverpool’s most successful teams of the 21st century, they all had one thing in common: a winning mentality.

The Captain and Klopp: The Virtue of Patience

Rome was not built in a day. Any long-standing success is, usually, the product of a carefully planned and executed strategy and, unfortunately for some, the phrase rings true in the world of football.

The Sakho Conundrum

Klopp Building For The Future

Modern football, its chairmen, managers and supporters alike, is obsessed with the quick fix. Typified by the wanton spending of Premier League- which often seems panicked and ill-advised- clubs in this summer’s transfer window, clubs want success and they are prepared to acquire it by means of chequebook, rather than honing the skills of...

The Case For The Defence

Who remembers the City game last season? Not the League Cup final or the 4-1 massacre at the Etihad but the home game. If you’re struggling it was the game where Jon Flanagan kicked Raheem Sterling in the air in the opening minutes and his captain hissed ‘Yes’ at him while exhibiting a Tim Henman...
