It's bewildering to me but there are some fans who are dissatisfied with how Jurgen Klopp's first season as Reds boss panned out. A run to the Europa League final littered with memorable moments and a League Cup final wasn't enough to appease an impatient, Premier League deprived bunch of fans. Those who seem...
Back to the Future
As the dust settles on another domestic season we get an opportunity to assess where our great club is at, and the journey we can reasonably expect it to bring us on in the season to come. Â As discussed on the LFC Daytrippers pod last week, some fans are happy to...
Liverpool Twitter is hardly ever united. There is always an argument or a disagreement which seems to fracture the fan base, even with Jurgen Klopp in charge. Yet on Tuesday 24th May 2016 the fan base was unequivocally unified as Liverpool announced that they'd signed Mainz 'keeper Loris Karius. The unity wasn't because Karius...
They say all goalkeepers are a little bit crazy. Then again, Simon Mignolet might be the exception to this rule. Steady, but rarely spectacular and for every calamity there’s a world-class save thrown in for good measure. He is a bookies worst nightmare; no-one can predict which Mignolet will show up on the day....
"I'm looking forward to the new season with Bayern."
- Mario Gotze, 23/05/2016
Liverpool aren't allowed nice things. Their potentially quixotic end to the season now a distant memory as Mario Gotze seemed to end all the rumours by committing his future, short-term at least, to current club Bayern. This news comes less than a week...
Jordan Henderson began the season as Liverpool’s new captain. The man to take over the mantle from Steven Gerrard and drive Liverpool on to new heights.
He ended it as an unused substitute in the Europa League final and with big question marks over his future after starting just two more games than 35-year-old Kolo...
As this memorable season for Liverpool comes to a close, thoughts begin to drift towards this summer’s transfer window. The press have been awash with transfer rumours and speculation for weeks and in turn, it’s fed the online shopping lists of fans with imaginative expectations of just what this summer holds in store for...
Yet another season of the Premier League has just ended with a new champion being crowned (how rare is that!) and Liverpool ending in 8th place (not so rare!). Once Liverpool changed their manager in October, it was always known that this season would not be where we would be competing at the top...
Dejan Lovren started the season as one of the most maligned players and in the eyes of the fans, the fifth choice centre back, behind Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Kolo Toure and harshly even Joe Gomez (Gomez came as a centre-back even though he can operate on the flanks and started the season as...
There’s a train of thought currently steaming along that suggests not competing in Europe next season is actually a blessing for Liverpool and Klopp. That it was a Champions League or bust situation, and bust was worth more than a spot in the Europa League.
It’s a train of thought that I won’t be boarding,...
