We’re All Believers Now

The concept of belief is a funny thing. Very close to the end of Liverpool’s incredible, awe-inspiring, death-defying 4-0 win over Barcelona, the question was asked whether there were any Liverpool fans who believed that their team would be in that position, hanging on (if you could call it that, the result was almost never...

Fabinho & Henderson stand tall on the biggest stage

Who else is still bouncing? Who else can’t think about anything apart from THAT game? Who else wouldn’t change this Liverpool team for the world? Tuesday night is seconded only to Istanbul for me, in terms of drama, passion and emotion, on a night that genuinely felt flat in my mind before kick-off. This time they...

A rallying cry – Come on Liverpool!

Ouch. Not again. This week we saw Manchester City narrowly beat Burnley which appears to have finally broken the spirit of even the most positive Liverpool fans on social media.

Is silverware essential in Liverpool’s quest for greatness?

An argument that will forever cause frustration is that for a football team to be remembered as truly great they have to win something, true though it may be. Holland's game-changing 'Total Football'-playing side of the 1970s are a perfect example as to why this opinion can be invalid, considering both World Cup and European...
