Don’t Look Now – The Reds are Coming!

On the recent Molby on the Spot podcast on AI Pro, Trev Downey discussed the recent feel-good factor at Anfield with ex-professional and Liverpool legend Jan Molby. Trev asked Molby if he had ever scored a no-look goal or a performed a no-look pass: "I think I might have done a no-look pass without it...

Manchester United v Liverpool Preview – Key Battles

Liverpool travel to the Old Enemies' den on Saturday, in what will possibly be the defining encounter in the race to be the best of the rest in the Premier League. Manchester United are on a high after Nemanja Matic's injury-time thunderbolt gave them a big win at Selhurst Park against Crystal Palace. Liverpool, on...

Anfield – Liverpool’s European Fortress

Liverpool is back in the Champions League knockout stages. Back with a bang. It has been a while. None of the players from the team that managed to go out of the group stages last time are with the team now. It took a change of ownership, 4 managerial changes and 3254 days for...

Combative Chamberlain: Understated & Underrated

Let’s begin with Gary Neville. Twice in the past week, the pundit has used his position in the Sky Sports studio to call out laziness in the elite of the Premier League. At Wembley for the League Cup final (sponsorships changes but the competition remains so please excuse my not mentioning them), he made the...

Liverpool FC: The Rivals

It’s a crying shame what’s happened to West Ham United. Seriously. How a decent club has fallen. True, they’ve always been a side liable to go down every five or so years, but they’ve never been a club to betray their footballing principles. They may have the odd knobhead and the occasional embarrassing celebrity fan, but...

LIVERPOOL ON THE UP: A statistical look at pressing and team performance

Liverpool’s current league position and recent Champions League performance emphasise the fine job that Jurgen Klopp is doing. Things are not perfect, they indeed rarely are in football. However, despite the squad still being a work in progress, the year on year improvement is undeniable. A large part of Liverpool’s success this season is down...

Has Robertson solved LFC’s Left-Back riddle?

The only player who will give Mo Salah any competition for signing of the season will be our fullback Andy Robertson. The £8 million theft from Hull has been coming on in leaps and bounds in recent weeks, seemingly cementing his name in the team sheet despite the return of Alberto Moreno. Robertson created two...

Why Liverpool fans need to be patient with Klopp

When Jürgen Klopp arrived at Anfield in October 2015, there was an immediate sense of excitement. Klopp’s record at Borussia Dortmund commanded respect, and his modest yet positive approach in the media, not to mention his all-action touchline displays, endeared him to the Liverpool faithful right from the start. However, while his arrival has...

Red Hot Reds Have Transcended The Fab Four

It was rather telling that after a game in which all three of Liverpool’s front three scored – taking them to a total of 66 goals between them – none of the conversation was about how good Salah, Firmino and Mané were. So I’m going to start this article with that bit. Because they...
