Lucas Leiva – Tackles, Interceptions and Over The Top Praise

Liverpool fans are a sentimental bunch. I often think supporters are quick to jump to the defence of long serving players Martin Skrtel and Lucas Leiva because they're the two remaining players from the Rafa days so kind of remind people of Istanbul. It's silly of course because neither player happened to be at the...

Adam Lallana: Is His Pressing Enough to Warrant a First-Team Place?

Adam Lallana’s a funny one, isn’t he? He throws in a sexy little Cruyff turn one minute and follows it up with a weak shot. He draws gasps from the crowd as often as he does groans. His Liverpool career to date has been the very definition of stop-start, as niggly injuries have struck just...

Don’t Worry, Be Happy – Enrique, Mourinho & Lucas Bring The Comedy

"If you want to be happy, be." Leo Tolstoy "You're in pretty good shape, for the shape that you are in." Dr. Seuss An unusual thing can happen when one is confronted with the disquietingly fragile nature of one's own mortality. Instead of becoming maudlin and resentful of the unseen forces threatening to extinguish life, sometimes the reaction...

Christian Benteke – Klopp’s Pocket Ace

While it's arguable as to who is the top dog in Liverpool’s strikers – whether it’s Daniel Sturridge who is the favoured spearhead or Christian Benteke who leads the pack – one thing that’s for certain is that they are different types of players. One is your agile, pace-driven striker with a fiery left...

Without Rodgers, We Wouldn’t Be Here

You all know, I'm no advocate of Brendan Rodgers.  There are have been several articles and podcasts that I've been on where I've slated, bemoaned, and even be-damned our former manager. But, if we're honest with one another, we wouldn't be in this current position without him. Going back a little, we were a club that...

Klopp’s Tactics Inspire Liverpool to Victory Against Chelsea

Jurgen Klopp hasn't had it easy since taking over as Liverpool boss. He's had to cope with an injury crisis  of unparalleled proportions. It's not often you have your three first choice strikers out injured as well as your captain. Not only this though, he's had to put up with the British media way...

Observations from Liverpool’s dismantling of Chelsea

The title is not misleading; Liverpool dismantled Chelsea. Jurgen Klopp had a gameplan and executed it to perfection. I would be lying if I said I was shocked at Liverpool truly putting Chelsea to the sword. I have been confident about it this week and, had Christian Benteke been fit enough to start, people may have been...

Liverpool beating Chelsea is the sweetest thing in football

For  a Liverpool fan, there are very few feelings that can top the joy at the final whistle of a victory over our age-old rivals, Everton and Manchester United. What could be sweeter than wins over your local rivals and long-term competitive rivals? Well, the answer to that of course is beating Chelsea. The Liverpool...

Steven Gerrard: We Need Our Centre Back

“He’s big and he’s fucking hard.” He was our Captain. He was our Leader. He was our “Never-Miss-Set-Piece-Taker.” Now, he is our biggest regret. When Gerrard left for LA Galaxy, I was pleased. I was excited to see a new team, a new Captain, going in a new direction. Maybe the disappointment of the 14/15 season was...
