Each footballer’s pathway requires a specific and unique approach when starting out at any elite club. So many young prodigies and supposed generational talents will always emerge, yet can be lost within the shuffle of upper tier entities. With the need for success now so desperate, we are witnessing managers come and go, as...
Ahhhh the famous false dawn ... we wondered where you’d got too. Football can change so quickly and after last weekend's unbridled joy, Saturdays early kick-off at the Vitality provided ultimate sorrow. Liverpool lost to bottom of the table Bournemouth 1-0 and truth be told they could have played for another 90 minutes and...
Sometimes, in the cacophony of cryarsing that surrounds football, you forget what makes the game great. It should be fun but some people make supporting a club seem like hard labour.
And then Liverpool spank Manchester United 7-0. It was an experience of pure, uplifting joy.
I’ve always thought that I came from the luckiest generation....
It’s okay for those people to admit to themselves or others now the dust has finally settled on Sunday. As one scroll of social media would have told you, not too different for most weeks truth be told, there was a real nervousness around the midfield that Jurgen Klopp had selected. There wasn’t too...
So, the Roberto Firmino era at Liverpool is coming to an end. Yep, I'm in floods of tears, too.

In a week that has seen the Liverpool fan base able to revel in the 7-0 win against their bitter rivals, Manchester United, the next fixture has them traveling to the south coast, in a battle to continue their good run against Bournemouth. The last meeting of the sides saw the Reds achieve an...
Liverpool’s flying Scotsman charged into Manchester United from the first minute yesterday. He’s not one whose been grabbing the headlines in recent times, but Andy Robertson’s upturn in form has interlinked with his own clubs' recent improvement. The former Hull man now has a place in the record books on the back of Sunday’s...
There seems to be a growing theory that Fabinho could be moved on in the summer. The former Monaco man has been as important as any other player in helping Liverpool regain both the English league title and Champions League trophies. His falloff in the past 12 months has been gradual, yet the drop-off...
In the build up to this historic fixture, I stated how it may look if the Reds were to come within seven points of their fiercest rivals. Given that the Old Trafford outfit were enjoying their best season in years (whilst Liverpool are suffering their worst), it does paint a rather amusing picture for...
In a recent article from a few weeks back, I stated that I saw Cody Gakpo as a return to the false nine. I get the feeling that the ultra-attacking system (that was in mind last summer), is now making way for a more trusted and positional savvy system. As I have said before,...
