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,...
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...
At the seasons start, you could have been confident that the likes of Pep Guardiola, Jürgen Klopp, and Antonio Conte would have been fighting it out for top honours at the end of this campaign, yet the latter two have suffered either mild or scary lapses in their usual levels, whilst the Etihad is...
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...
FOMO informal. : fear of missing out : fear of not being included in something (such as an interesting or enjoyable activity) that others are experiencing. There is a real concern amongst most reds that with recent developments this could be the case long-term. With developments at other clubs and the lack of...
Since Georginio Wijnaldum departed Anfield in 2021, I have tended to write at least three articles a year, that allude to the red’s failure to replace the Swiss Army knife of midfielders. I’ve often spoken about the necessity of system players within our team, that can facilitate the special talents of others to rise...
The performance against Everton felt like a throwback to a golden age. Last season. Things change that quickly.
Granted, the Blues were really poor. We expected the Dogs of War. Instead we got yard-dogs with distemper.
Still, there are grounds for optimism after the derby. The pace of the front three for the opening strike was...
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...
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...
I wrote last week how the issues engulfing Manchester City (right now), could have a positive effect on the Reds' mentality. With Pep Guardiola having had a series of press conference meltdowns, it would have surely changed the dynamic and conversation within the AXA training ground to see their rivals being charged (with over...
