Manchester United Vs Liverpool | Deja Vu.... with some differences!
For one week in March 2009, we ruled the world.
March 10th: Liverpool 4-0 Real Madrid.
March 14th: Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool.
It was the golden era of the Benitez years, a time when we felt genuinely unstoppable, putting two of the most globally revered names in world football to the sword. It was a wonderful time to be a Liverpool supporter where you dreams were engulfed by the maximum achievements possible.
5 years on from that unforgettable week, there …
One Flew Over the Kolo's Nest
"No no, no no nono, no no nono, no no nono Toure"
Admittedly, that was poor. But then again, it appears Liverpool's resident Ivorian has been playing in a similar run of form leading many Liverpool fans to sit wincing at their television as Kolo Toure runs rings around himself, looking as though he is clenching something between his butt-cheeks for ninety minutes a weekend. He radiates nervousness, uncertainty, and calamity.
But this was not the Kolo Toure fans had …
Liverpool FC in August 2014 | What changes could Liverpool make?
Thanks to Brendan Rodgers and his team's work so far this season I am going to suggest that we have already done enough to secure a top 4 spot this season.
We have 10 games left to try and finish as high as we possibly can in the Barclays Premier League.
The Champions League is where this club belongs and with it comes the prestige and the extra funding the club requires to maintain our aim of eventually winning our …
Liverpool's Breathtaking Brand of Football Key to Attracting International Fans
The Premier League's popularity is soaring in the United States, where viewers are developing a deep connection with football (or "soccer") as cable providers afford people access to nearly every match. As American fans select teams to follow by the millions, the ongoing fight between top clubs to capture their rabid support is a key battle in an era of cut-throat financial competition.
Liverpool's stylistic turnaround and burst up the table, along with their treasured history, make them a sudden …
Brendan Rodgers and The Transfer Committee | The Outgoings
Doubters.
Something Brendan Rodgers has had to deal with throughout his brief period as Liverpool manager. Whether it be his credentials, his methods, his transfer signings, his bosses, or his vocabulary, there is nothing that has escaped the manager from ridicule.
With particular regards to transfers, fans have spoken themselves to death in discussing who to sign, how much they are worth, how Ian Ayre will mess it up, what is a transfer committee, and how come we didn't sign …
Glen Johnson: His season so far | Stats
Glen Johnson has come out in recent days to say how he's a massive fan of Brendan Rodgers (who isn't at the moment?!) and that he wants to stay at Liverpool for years to come.
As a solid and reliable right-back for the majority of his Liverpool career, Johnson is hitting the milestone of 50 caps for England, but has had an up and down season for the Reds.
Injuries have got in the way of what could have been …
The Taming of Luis Suarez
There’s a scene in the highly acclaimed political thriller series ‘House of Cards’, where the antihero protagonist Francis Underwood is being told by his soon-to-be adversary Raymond Tusk as to which attributes of Francis’ makes him the compelling candidate for a major role in the White House (bear with me as I try my best to not inadvertently leak out obvious spoilers from this excellent series).
Francis is told, rather directly, that his penchant for pragmatism, ruthlessness to execute, a …

I'm on the Rodgers 12 point plan to Redemption
Are you with me? We are 12 league games away from something remarkable.
The door to the riches of the Champions League is firmly open to us, it’s beckoning us in like the hostess of our favourite bar or nightclub. We would be foolish not to take up the offer, after all, who knows when we will get the chance again.
But what is it we really want? Will we just sit back and take the easy way to the …
Simon Mignolet: A potential problem averted
Summer signing Simon Mignolet slotted straight into the Liverpool setup, and has been one of the key players for the Reds so far this season.
For goalkeepers, they're usually a commonly-used scapegoat for a lot of mishaps that go wrong in a campaign, especially those chasing the top places.
As mentioned previously, not being in the limelight is the biggest recognition that the Belgian could have wished for. It's easy for the finger to be pointed at the new goalkeeper …
