Liverpool fans were infamous for their ‘next year will be our year’ statement. However, for the past decade, the phrase associated with the fans has slowly morphed into ‘Liverpool’s summer transfer window is their biggest in years’. The two phrases are of course linked. Fans of the Reds are forever harbouring the belief that they’re […]
What a season this has been and I don’t mean for good reasons. The highlight this season has undoubtedly been Jurgen Klopp’s arrival at Anfield, but other than that it has been a season to forget for the Reds. Every time we as fans seem to get a little bit excited, we come crashing down […]
The story of Christian Benteke at Liverpool is that of a sorry tale about a misfit. He’s our Buddy the Elf to Liverpool’s elves. He stands out and not in a good way. When he gets involved the other players seem to have to increase their workload to accommodate him. It may not be Christmas […]
It’s been the debate that has raged on since for some time under FSG ownership, is this Liverpool squad good enough to compete with the best the world has to offer?

Delicate. Intricate. Profligate. Manchester City’s candy-cane tower has come crumbling down. Forget City’s Soufflé-style of calculated luxury: we’ve entered Jürgen’s Black Forest Gateau of Mayhem. High-class  pomp has been decimated by working-class passion as the Moneyball-marauding FSG out-bought City’s billions in all areas. On sponsors alone, Liverpool’s Subway, Gatorade and Dunkin’ Donuts deals dwarf against the likes of City’s Nike, Aabar […]
Six games into Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool reign and it feels like I am supporting a different Liverpool. The same group of players have been transformed from underperforming disappointments to a versatile squad with competition in key positions. Klopp’s reds now have three victories on the bounce, including a very sweet and very comprehensive win at […]
