Dejan Lovren: Jury Still In Deliberation
Much has been said about Dejan Lovren since his big money move to Liverpool Football Club in the summer of 2014. The expectation of becoming the leader of Liverpool’s defense had quickly faded and also coincided with fans slamming the gavel on him as a failed piece of business. Error after error was also the cause of fans fuming over social media, some even directly at him regarding his poor form. And even so, former Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers stuck …

Kolo Toure: Never Have I Ever
Steven Gerrard leaving Liverpool a year ago was the epitome of sadness for Liverpool fans. We’ve lost a legend, a leader, and a player who could guide academy graduates or incoming players to settle in Merseyside and show them what it means exactly to play for Liverpool Football Club. Plenty of names have left the club in it’s history, but only a few are regarded highly enough to be remembered.
Liverpool fans are a fine bunch. We remember, respect, and …

The Curious Case of Mamadou Sakho
Being a football fan demands that you put your emotions on the line week in, week out. However while we often tell ourselves we won’t let the game effect us, we can’t help it. Being a football fan is an emotional bond.
At this moment in time Liverpool fans are on an emotional come down. Some are taking to Twitter to vent their anger and frustration or their unwavering support. Others are quietly contemplating the summer ahead and who will …

Why Liverpool Need to Keep Dejan Lovren Next Season
Dejan Lovren started the season as one of the most maligned players and in the eyes of the fans, the fifth choice centre back, behind Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho, Kolo Toure and harshly even Joe Gomez (Gomez came as a centre-back even though he can operate on the flanks and started the season as first choice left-back till an unfortunate injury ruled him out for the rest of the season). While Liverpool got rid of Lambert, Lovren and Lallana were …

Kolo Toure - There Goes My Hero, Watch Him As He Goes
The words 'Mamadou Sakho' and 'drugs test' must resonate with all Liverpool supporters as a moment where they feared for our subsequent defensive collapse as the season came to an end. The imperious French international had finally won round any remaining doubters and was being lauded as a future captain. When the news broke, I personally didn't want to believe or accept it. However I should have feared not, one man had other ideas and has considerably helped to soften …

Sakho, Cheats, Logic and Bias
Mamadou Sakho divides opinion. The Frenchman has done so ever since his move from Paris Saint-Germain in the Summer of 2013. His first season with the Reds was hit and miss. He shared the left centre-back berth with Daniel Agger. Both players struggled with injuries so it was a sort of timeshare role.
Many fans appreciated his talents whereas others weren't comfortable with his unconventional style. I'm a Sakho fan but even I hold my breath sometimes when I see …

The Short-Term Alternatives to Mamadou Sakho
The events of the last three days have scarred the entire club and the entire fan base. Mamadou Sakho was well on his way to attaining cult status on the Kop. On Saturday, when it emerged that he had failed a drugs test in the aftermath of the Europa League game at Old Trafford, that was well and truly a shock.
But, as Jurgen Klopp has said on multiple occasions, when one door closes, another one opens. In this case, …
