The sixteenth week of Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool inspired a good deal of irrational, kiss-the-closest-living-thing, stay-up-all-night-making-a-shrine-to-Joe-Allen joy. When our future selves recall the vicissitudes of the 2015/16 season, few memories will endure as brightly as the hysterical game of see-saw that was Carrow Road or Allen’s brief, fist-clenching fall from modesty as he wheeled away...
Jürgen Klopp’s Reds are on a march to Wembley for a showdown with the uber rich Manchester City to challenge for the Capital One Cup. If you’ve somehow been cryogenically frozen for the past 6 months, or abducted by sexy aliens from Mars in the past 6 months, you would be euphoric about that...
...But let's not get carried away!
Just four days after the dramatic stoppage-time victory at Carrow Road, Liverpool qualified for the Capital One Cup final on Tuesday night thanks to the perhaps unexpected heroics of Simon Mignolet in the penalty shoot-out. Not only are we on our way to ‘Anfield South’ once more, but those...
Gerard Houllier's Liverpool achieved legendary status with their treble winning season. Can Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool manage the same feat? Is it even possible? Simon Brundish and I analyse the squads with stats for the 2001 Â team and the current side and try to see whether or not this current Liverpool team can achieve greatness.
They...
For years I've felt isolated. Part of a small minority, that truly believed Mamadou Sakho had the ability to go onto being one of the finest centre backs in the EPL, and a leader at the very heart of this Liverpool team. Whilst I wasn't alone in this view, I often faced animosity and...
Value for money.
Paying over the odds.
Cheaper alternatives.
It's quite common now for fans, and the media, to believe they know the value of players and what their club should be spending when they they're looking to bring somebody in. The latest player to be put under a microscope is Shahktar Donetsk's Alex Teixeira. Plenty...
"Man City or Everton, it doesn't matter. We'll win the Cup."
- Jurgen Klopp
Our manager is fanning the flames. He's bringing back a trophy in his debut season.
It wasn't particularly pretty and it won't be remembered as a spectacle but Liverpool once again dug deep to take something away from a disappointing performance. It's been...
James Milner, seasoned England international, Premier League winner, FA Cup winner, League Cup winner. These are all impressive stats from Liverpool's most high profile signing from last summer. And I'm sure there were some fans out there who thought the same as me when he was announced as one of Brendan Rodgers first summer...
Following the most recent setback in Daniel Sturridge's recovery plan, social media was flooded with angry Liverpool fans, fuming about the 'obscene wages we pay to a professional hospital patient', venting their obvious frustrations at both the club, for not pushing upwards in the league, and at Sturridge who suffered his tenth injury whilst...
If Saturday's game took-place in a coal mine, the canary would have exploded.
Lallana and Milner's lack of goals and assists has seen them recently labelled "useless", "awful", "overrated" and "beige."
They had become representative of the modern Liverpool: bland, boring and mid-table.
From about as much promise as a tub of Wall's - this Vanilla-Pod-Duo could only manage so much...
