One For The Future, Brad Smith

Who would have thought that four games into his Liverpool career, young Australian left-back Brad Smith would have two assists and a goal for Liverpool. After initially rejecting a new contract with Liverpool last year, Smith's Liverpool career has gone from strength to strength. He is one of the academy players who has been...

Klopp’s Infectious Passion is Gaining Liverpool Points

In an era where managers are supposed to be cool figureheads on the touchline, it's a welcome change to see Jurgen Klopp sticking two fingers up to what's expected and just letting his emotions rule his head. He's once again showing why he is 'The Normal One', because what did every Liverpool fan do...

Liverpool’s Benteke Problem

As many of you are aware (well those of you who follow me on Twitter) I'm not a big fan of Liverpool's Belgian forward Christian Benteke. But at the same time I'm also not a fan of supporters giving him abuse and grief just for the sake of it, jumping in on the bandwagon....

Half & Half, Bad Tea, and Adam Lallana

I enjoy myself a morning cup of coffee. On the other side of the pond you might fancy yourself a nice cup of tea. Every morning I go through the same routine. Medium roast, slightly bold coffee, with a splash of milk creamer. It tastes good and gets my day going. I love a...

James Milner – Endurance sans End Product

When Liverpool secured the signing of James Milner as the first of eight in the summer, there was an excitement. An excitement that the club had pulled off a sensible piece of business. What else would you call a reliable, combative, versatile midfield player, who has been in the habit of winning trophies? Milner was...

“He’s an intelligent presser” – Southampton Fan on Shane Long

Irish media reported last week that Southampton's Shane Long was a Liverpool target. Since that news broke the South Coast club have signed a striker, Charlie Austin, to potentially pave the way for a Shane Long move. I spoke with Aidan Small (@FreshSaints) to find out his opinion on the forward. So Shane Long, what are his...

Van Gaal’s False Fellaini Floors Flailing Reds

Our Reds were on top for most of the game, dominating against a Manchester United team who seem to get weaker every time they come to Anfield. Our Reds had Marouane Fellaini - Louis Van Gaal's plan A, B, and C - rattled from the moment Lucas accidentally head-butted him in the face on purpose...

Liverpool FC 0 vs Manchester United 1 : Player Ratings

Simon Mignolet (6.5) - Was literally a spectator in the first-half. Had nothing much to do in the second-half (including the goal). Caught a couple of balls that needed to be caught. Nathaniel Clyne (6.5) - Was far more influential offensively in this game, making a couple of great diagonal runs infield on the overlap. Was...
