Sadio Mane – The Dembele Alternative?

Paul Joyce sent Twitter into a bit of a meltdown with the news that Liverpool were looking at £25 million Southampton attacker Sadio Mane as an alternative to Mario Gotze. Reports surfaced earlier this week about how the German looked set to join Liverpool, even agreeing personal terms, before an amazing u turn saw...

Gotze to Liverpool: Increasingly unlikely but a match made in heaven

Mario Gotze’s mind must be absolutely pickled. He has current club Bayern Munich making it abundantly clear that they don’t want him, despite the 23-year-old expressing his desire to stay. It’s almost a bit sad. Then there’s former team Borussia Dortmund, who remain an option this summer, but don’t exactly seem desperate to re-sign their golden...

Liverpool Supporters: Pessimistically Optimistic

Liverpool Football Club is a massive club, to say the least. The supporters are those who know it better than anyone. After all, we’re the ones who have witnessed the highs and lows over decades and decades. Players, managers, and staff come and go. But it’s us fans, who are the constant in the...

Criticising Klopp’s Debut season is Lazy

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...

What is “Success” for Liverpool FC?

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.  As discussed on the LFC Daytrippers pod last week, some fans are happy to...

Mignolet’s Time as First Choice Liverpool Goalkeeper is Over

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...

Who Will Be Liverpool Number One Next Season?

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....

Liverpool still haven’t mastered the PR game

"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 – Keep or Bin?

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...

Forget the Big Name Signings for Liverpool

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...
