A Case For Lazar Marković

Like Portuguese defender Tiago Ilori before him, Serbian winger Lazar Marković has become one of Liverpool's forgotten men this season. As an out and out winger Marković was the last player fans expected to see loaned out this season especially with Jordan Ibe being Liverpool's only other out and out winger in the 2015/2016...

Conclusions From Three Months of Klopp’s Selection Policy

It is easy to preach in football about the virtues of patience and context, but it is far more difficult to mobilise those concepts in the race to form opinions. Jürgen Klopp has taken charge of 33 games as a Liverpool manager - games which include finals against the richest clubs in the world,...

A Requiem for Doubt: The Rebirth of Liverpool Football Club

As Yaya shot, the nylon net swished, and the dream was dashed for good. Heaps of red clad players sat silently, some lurched over in exhausted pools, others stared blankly into space as if they were too tired or dismayed to process what had just happened. This can’t be how it ends, can it?...

Is Emre Can Overplayed and Unappreciated?

Emre Can has the potential to become a quality Premier League midfielder. He has the attributes that many, if not all, Premier League sides look for when they're signing a modern day midfielder; he's got great vision, can pick a pass, he's mastered the slide tackle without giving away a free-kick, he's got a...

Can or Lucas? Capital One Cup Starting Spot Showdown

With the dangers of Manchester City’s attack and the energy needed in Liverpool’s midfield, who starts in midfield on Sunday will play a pivotal part in Liverpool’s fortunes.

Liverpool’s Defensive Midfield Search – Part 1

Remember the days? Javier Mascherano staring a charging midfielder dead in the eye, and stopping him right in his tracks, before his over-zealous rampage through the heart of Liverpool’s defence could even gain the slightest bit of traction. Remember how good it felt when the ball left Xabi Alonso’s foot, soared through the air and...

Klopp wants Believers but my Doubts Remain

I’m going to attempt to do something here that is perhaps a little alien to me when it comes to Liverpool Football Club, I’m going to attempt to write the following from the head as opposed to the heart. The reason for this, is that I was recently thinking about Jurgen Klopp’s opening shots as...

Does Emre Can Deserve The Criticism He’s Receiving?

After Liverpool's poor result against Augsburg last week Emre Can is back in the supporters' bad books and has once again been criticised for his performances, some of which I'll admit haven't been up to standard. The criticism he is getting though at the minute is not warranted. As I've already stated Can has...

Liverpool vs Augsburg: Europa League Preview

As the Capital One Cup final nears, Liverpool have got one more game before they make their trip to Wembley, and it's something of a final itself. Tied at 0-0 following a fairly drab first leg in Germany, the Reds must complete the job at home to progress to the Europa League Last 16. If...
