Simply translated, "Kapellmeister", is a German word used to describe a musician in charge of music-making. Nowadays in Germany, Kapellmeister is considered as the Director or conductor of the orchestra. That's what Leandro Paredes represents at Empoli. When the music or in this case football is played right and beautifully at Stadio Carlo Castellani...
For 12 years, the presence of Steven Gerrard ensured that, of all the problems that Liverpool faced, finding a captain was never an issue. Add to that the presence of stalwarts like Jamie Carragher, Sami Hyypia and Xabi Alonso, and it is not difficult to understand why leadership was never an issue.
But when Gerrard...
Emre Can put in a man of the match performance under the lights of Old Trafford on Thursday night and in doing so cemented his place in the hearts and minds of the Liverpool faithful. Our very own Turkish delight dominated the midfield with a brilliant performance entrenched with power, pace and technical quality...
It was written in the stars, with an almost certain inevitability to it, that Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund would be drawn together in the Europa League quarter-finals.

The general consensus is that Liverpool need to sign another striker this summer. A guaranteed goal-getter to get the pulses racing inside Anfield and leave opposition defences quaking with fear.
However, the Reds currently have four international strikers fully fit for the first time this season and the upturn in goalscoring form makes for good...
It's as close to a perfect first leg in a European competition as you'll see. It was the sort of performance many Liverpool fans came to expect when Liverpool were dominating Europe; the home clean sheet and a few goals to take into the second leg. It was almost perfection with only David De...
As dominating a performance as one could hope for as Liverpool scored two goals without a response in what could be termed as a one-sided first leg. Liverpool absolutely bossed the game from start to finish and carry a satisfactory two goal advantage into the return leg. A clean sheet is a big boost...
