Jordan Henderson: Liverpool’s Linchpin Leader

This past week marked the nine-year anniversary of Jordan Henderson's transfer from Sunderland to Liverpool. From a skinny right-sided midfielder -- who admitted to being daunted at sharing the same midfield as Steven Gerrard -- to a colossal leader of men, Henderson has come of age at Anfield and is the ideal player to lead...

Liverpool duo should be back in contention after injuries to face Everton on Sunday

Liverpool's Andy Robertson and Mohamed Salah both look to be winning the race to be fit for The Reds' Premier League return against Everton this Sunday night. Both Robertson and Salah missed out on Liverpool's 6-0 friendly win over Blackburn Rovers late last week. At the time, it was rumoured to be just a precaution...

Liverpool, football, and the return to normality

Depending on when you’re reading this, it’s about a week, or maybe less, until the season continues, and Liverpool travel to Goodison Park in a game scheduled originally for Monday 16th March. That game will now be played, three months later, on Sunday 21st June. I recently noted on Twitter, as Liverpool’s move for Timo...

How FSG treat Liverpool like an American sports franchise

A few years back now, I entertained the idea that football could soon follow American sports by essentially getting rid of transfer fees. With more and more players looking to move on free transfers, the next logical step was either inserting reasonable release clauses into every single contract or accepting that a player will...

Liverpool captain eager to ensure Reds don’t become complacent in season run-in

Liverpool's Jordan Henderson is adamant the squad must be at its best to complete the task of securing the club's 19th league title over the next two months. The Reds return to action on Sunday night in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park. The game, like all remaining Premier League games this season, will be...

Why Mohamed Salah is one of Europe’s elite

Since returning to the Premier League, Mohamed Salah has been utterly dominant. The Liverpool No.11 has claimed back to back Golden Boot awards and when the 2019/20 campaign was paused, the Egyptian had 16 goals to his name. A third Golden Boot was unlikely but not impossible. Remarkable considering he played a large chunk...

Does Liverpool FC have a problem with institutional racism?

From the death of George Floyd to Black Lives Matter protests and the unceremonious dumping of the statue of Edward Colston into the Bristol docks, events across the world have put a magnifying glass up against how our society behaves when it comes to the treatment of ethnic minority groups. While clubs have sort to...

Curtis Jones Could Be Liverpool’s New 16/17 Lallana

If you polled people to ask them the words they most associate with Liverpool's midfield, the descriptions you would mostly see would be "functional, stodgy, obstinant, no-frills." While not always the easiest on the eye -- although, when asked to play progressively, they can weave pretty patterns and pass through opponents with the build-up to...

Klopp gives measured take on Reds’ 6-0 win over Blackburn Rovers

Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp was happy with the run-out his side got against Blackburn Rovers in their behind-closed-doors friendly at Anfield on Thursday. Klopp's men won 6-0 in the fitness-focused game with Championship side Blackburn. The goals were scored by Sadio Mané, Naby Keita, Takumi Minamino, Joël Matip, Ki-Jana Hoever and youngster Leighton Clarkson. Liverpool scored...

Adama Traore: A risk worth taking?

Liverpool have had almost everything their own way during a relentless surge towards Premier League glory, with 82 points out of a possible 87 proof of that. While not every victory has necessarily been a stroll in the park, the Reds sealed wins against all 19 of their league opponents in 2019/20, as they threaten...
