Wing-Back to The Future – Liverpool’s Lateral Thinking

MISSING: Liverpool FC full-backs. Last seen: playing FIFA or table tennis on Instagram. Posing next to a BMW on Twitter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yc1Kqo124ec Contact Glen Johnson c/o Liverpool FC. José Enrique and Glen Johnson were the starting full-backs in Liverpool’s final Champions League game at home to FC Basel. Since then the traditional full-back position has been disregarded, and the...

Raheem Sterling – The Likeability Factor

Is it there? With a putrid tinge of Louis Walsh here, and one of the many tiresomely predictable X Factor clichés that quite frankly, as with the programme, should have been binned years ago, the question is there to be answered. Raheem Sterling’s ongoing contract situation has led to a substantial amount of criticism on...

Top 4 or Not? How does it change Liverpool’s Summer plans?

The loss to United dented our chances of finishing in the top 4, but just how detrimental would not finishing in the top 4 be to our summer plans? Yes, we all want Champions League football, but given the first half of the season it was always going to be a big ask and I'd...

The Local vs Global Divide – My Frustration as a Liverpool Fan

"Your opinion doesn't matter. Go and support your local team". This statement, or at least a variation of it delivering the same bone-headed message, is one that makes my blood boil. The first part of it, in all honesty, is a fair comment when taken at face value. To many people your opinion actually doesn't...

Liverpool v Manchester United | Premier League Preview

I’ve heard some crazy things in my time as a football fan.  Some say that Real Madrid v. Barcelona is the best match-up in the world.  From the same country, the Madrid derby has been brought into consideration in recent years.  Others will mention the Milan derby, the London derbies.  Even the Merseyside derby...

Tactically Outclassing Louis Van Gaal

It feels like we've been saying this for weeks now, but Sunday is a must win. Not only will it propel us into the top 4, it also dents the challenge of a rival. Not just any rival though; the rival. United. For the first time in a while a top 4 finish would...

Brendan Rodgers could learn a thing or two from Vito Corleone

Brendan Rodgers has been doing a great job in the second half of the season. He’s managed to get the season going and a place for top four finish is still within Liverpool’s grasp. A task that seemed so unachievable for the reds back in December. Granted, Signor Rodgers has had an impressive stint...

Does Daniel Sturridge have the Durability?

The Spurs game at White Hart Lane in August teased us with a Mario Balotelli/ Daniel Sturridge partnership and left us longing for more. It could have been even more embarrassing had Balotelli been match sharp and Hugo Lloris wasn't in inspired form when facing the Italian. Strike partnerships in the modern era aren't as...

The Magician Coutinho Begins To Work His Magic

I think it's fair to say that throughout his time at LFC, Philippe Coutinho hasn't been recognised as a world class player. Don't get me wrong, he has been a crucial first team player for Liverpool, but he hasn't really caught the eye of many fans of the club. This may have been because...

The Transfer Window Trophy

Mourinho was right, there is a campaign against Chelsea. I mean, they won the 2014 summer transfer window and they still haven't been presented with the trophy for it! Some may take that as being flippant or even facetious, but that's what the transfer window has become to some fans - a trophy in itself;...
