Mina, Yerry unlikely but still important for Liverpool

Liverpool supporters woke up to some surprising claims from Ignacio Miguelez on Latin American football show, ChiriLatino, breaking “exclusive news” that the Reds had made an agreement with Barcelona to take young centre-back Yerry Mina on loan for next season. https://twitter.com/chirilatino/status/994734988280188928 Well, that’s that then. Right? Many outlets seemed to take this as fact, or close to...

Liverpool’s Other Fekirs | Transfer Rumour Round-Up

The sudden explosion of rumours surrounding the possible transfer of Lyon's Nabil Fekir has sucked all of the oxygen out of the Twittersphere. In the shadow of an impending mega-deal, stories of Ukrainian backup goalkeepers, heists from rival youth academies and pricy Portuguese B-teamers can barely buy a click. Poor ol' Sega Diallo can...

Liverpool v Brighton Preview – Key Battles

It is the last game of the season, and Liverpool have their Top 4 destiny in their own hands. However, it is something that the Reds should have signed off and sealed a few weeks ago. In the middle of the exertions in continental competition, Jurgen Klopp's men have only picked up 6 points in...

Mohamed Salah: Past, Present & Future

With 4 strokes of his boot Salah scored two goals and assisted a further two to help Liverpool come out on top as 5-2 winners against AS Roma in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League semi-final and take them to within touching distance of the final showpiece of Europe’s elite competition in...

Reasons To Be Cheerful & Furious – Chelsea 1 Liverpool 0

Well, the Chelsea result left me furious. Not with the team, not with the manager and not with the referee for once. Broadly speaking, I was fine with what happened on the pitch. Chelsea deprived us of space and closed down all the main passing channels. They shut up shop once they gained the lead and...

Nabil Fekir: The Perfect Fourth Man?

Liverpool are on the march to Kiev. Amidst the blitzkrieg of goals, celebrations and stunning attacking tsunamis, however, is quite the stark realisation. Liverpool got to the Champions League final off the back of a scintillating, devastating, and unparalleled front three, with a lion tamer of a manager orchestrating their rise to potential infamy. But there...

Observations as weary Reds lose at Stamford Bridge

Liverpool's extraordinary Champions League run has been truly unforgettable, but their recent Premier League exploits have been anything but. After a turbulent Wednesday night at the Stadio Olimpico, the emotionally and physically fatigued Reds subjected their supporters to a different kind of torment over the course of a turgid 90 minutes against top-four rivals Chelsea. Olivier...

Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants – Roma 4 Liverpool 2

It's 22.19 on 2nd May and my head's gone. Seriously. I’m all over the place. Logic has left the building. I feel like the character Red at the end of The Shawshank Redemption when he says “I find I’m so excited I can barely sit still or hold a thought in my head.” I'm on the Tube...

Liverpool Player Ratings as the Reds book their tickets for Kiev

Allez, Allez, Allez! I’m tempted just to give them all 10’s.  OK, we lost the actual match 4-2, but one was a wacky own-goal and another a last second, questionable penalty.  Bottom line is that we didn’t look overly nervous as a collective and we had enough players with supreme performances to get us through....
