Crystal Palace v Liverpool | FA Cup Fifth Round Preview
Oh, Palace. How you’ve become the bane of Liverpool’s existence lately. Selhurst Park is no friendly place to play for any side, but we’ve performed worse there than any other ground. If you can even believe it, we’ve traveled there six times since 2000, and haven’t won once (0W-2D-4L). If Brendan Rodgers is adamant about focusing on the cup, then he’ll have to figure out a way to end this abysmal streak. With new manager Alan Pardew off to a …
Jordon Ibe - The Future of Liverpool

In this article I will be analysing Ibe's time at LFC and how his promising abilities can help Liverpool further their …
Gerrard: Young and Red | 700 Up for Captain Fantastic
A young Steven Gerrard charged around the football pitch, aged 12, showing strength and ability beyond his years under the guidance of Tim Johnson with the Liverpool U14's academy team. Now, 16 years since his Liverpool senior debut and Gerrard boasts one of English football’s greatest careers after achieving 700 appearances for the Reds.
Speaking in an interview with the Daily Post and the Liverpool Echo in 2000, Tim Johnson remembers how he admired Gerrard’s ability and admits many strengths …
Welcomed Distractions - Emre Can
Ha remember that summer Liverpool paid £20 million for Dejan Lovren. What a waste of money, ey? The same summer they spent close to £25 million on Adam Lallana and another £16 million on Mario Balotelli. Three big signings, none have hit the ground running. What a way to waste the Suarez money. All big distractions to the media and fans, when one deal in particular was key to the future successes of Liverpool FC.
Emre Can. Imperious, marvellous, magnificent, …
Improving Liverpool's First Team With Minimum Expense: Part One
Liverpool, and the rest of the English footballing community, have just endured one of the most boring transfer windows ever. Nothing really happened, nobody was even slightly interested in the usual tabloid talk involving player rumours and silly price tags and Liverpool signed nobody - discounting the recalling of Jordon Ibe from his loan with Derby County. Despite this lack of activity, it was obvious for most supporters that there were issues with the squad. A new goalkeeper could have …
Bolton v Liverpool | FA Cup Fourth Round Replay
After a good win and a fantastic Sturridge rebirth at Anfield, we travel to Macron Stadium to take on Bolton. At stake: advancing to the fifth round and a tie at Selhurst Park. The primary question is: does anyone in the side really care? For the sake of Gerrard’s final year at Liverpool, I’d have to say so.
Here’s The Deal About the FA Cup
Our form has been much improved lately. Coutinho and Sterling have really blossomed. Henderson is …
Pro Evolution: Where Next For Liverpool's Tactics?
Liverpool’s 3-0 defeat at Old Trafford in December was a perfect illustration of the team’s regression this season. It was a direct reversal of the result in the same fixture last March, when a trident of Luis Suarez, Daniel Sturridge, and Raheem Sterling, saw Liverpool become an unstoppable attacking force.
If the club could take a positive from this defeat, it would be the 3-4-3 formation they lined up in for this game and have used, largely successfully, in each …
Liverpool 2 West Ham 0 - Talking Points: Return of the Dancing Man
The win at Anfield was as far away as you could have got from the disappointment at Upton Park in the reverse fixture in September.
Liverpool dominated and took their chances, while West Ham struggled to impose their own unique brand of physicality on the game and create openings.
In September, Liverpool were effectively bulldozed by a strong and decisive West Ham team on its way to putting together its best ever season. This time round the Reds stood up …
Danny Ings Isn't That Offensive
The news broke last night on Twitter. Mass hysteria, a fan base divided (no change there then) and for once it wasn't about the defensive midfielder subject, instead it was about a potential deal to bring Burnley Striker Danny Ings to Anfield, the meltdown that followed was borderline apocalyptic. Granted, It is in the opinion of the fanbase as a whole Liverpool should be looking at a better standard of player, in a league other than England. However, is Danny …
Liverpool v West Ham | Premier League Preview
After an abysmal showing at Boleyn Park, the Reds face West Ham at Anfield Saturday evening. We’ve got a different story to tell this time out concerning form; back in the “wish we could forget it” month of September, Liverpool registered no Premier League wins. In fact, the only 3 points taken from that month came from the 2-1 Ludogorets win that’s scarcely memorable. The Hammers, on the other hand, were just hitting their stride that led to a Champions …
