Markus Krosche: Top CV, But Concerns If ‘Klopp’s Man’

In true Liverpool style, it’s always a name that comes from left-field when it does. There’s none more reliable than David Ornstein and his confirmation this morning that current Eintracht Frankfurt Sporting Director Markus Krosche is in the running for the same role at Anfield carries serious weight. With affairs off-the-field currently in flux...

The Liverpool rebuild: a task too big for Klopp

It usually takes a while for the mainstream journalists to cotton on. The 2-5 defeat this week was a moment when even the world’s most self-satisfied ostriches raised an eyebrow above the line of the sand. “Jurgen Klopp’s first great Liverpool era is over” shrieked Chris Bascombe. “Liverpool may even struggle to qualify next season” simpered...

FSG Ownership Latest: Into Last Chance Saloon

Well ... you can put away all your Arabic to English converters finally as they won’t be needed anymore. After months of the loudest silence the other side of the Atlantic, FSG and more relevantly its leader John W Henry has confirmed that Liverpool Football Club is not for sale, but is discussing investment....

Cody Gakpo & The New False 9…

When Liverpool was at their Premier & Champions League winning peak, there were certain players that were able to drive the team to a brilliantly unbeatable standard.

Newcastle 0 – 2 Liverpool: The Post-Mortem

It is amazing what a week in Premier League football can do for a disheartened fanbase. The issues are still apparent, the changes are still required, and a raft of new players are a must in the summer transfer window. What has improved, however, is the tone of the messages within my WhatsApp groups,...

Should James Milner Get Another Contract?

For much of the season (and especially this last week), there have been rumblings that James Milner could be offered yet another one year extension. Having just turned 37-years of age, the Leeds born footballer defies all common sense in his continuing ability to represent an elite level club. However you regard his current...

Lessons Learned against Newcastle United

It’s quite staggering that in a season where Liverpool have been largely woeful that they still have a chance to finish in the top four. The gap to Newcastle is now reduced to just six points and with a game in hand. There were plenty of ups and downs in a game that we...

Newcastle and Real Madrid the real gauge of ‘revitalised’ Liverpool

Liverpool's 2-0 victory over Everton was a delight. It earned the Reds local bragging rights, it represented a much-needed return to winning ways, and most importantly, it resembled something close to the team of old. All of a sudden, there was more purpose in the pressing, more focus at the back and more cohesion in the...

Newcastle v Liverpool – The PL Preview

With the halfway point of the season now fully surpassed, Liverpool are now able to zero in on their immediate competition. At the season’s outset, everyone would have predicted another battle with Manchester City for the title, though much has changed since this campaigns inception. The likes of Manchester United and Tottenham were always...
