The current debate over the lack of atmosphere at Anfield has reignited a tiresome argument about the validity of the support offered by different types of fans. Frankly, it’s an extremely tedious contretemps, and it merely highlights the depressing reality that some pugnacious elements of our fan base seem to revel more in petty...
The average sandwich
Liverpool have many recurring problems that previous management failed to address. As a team we're grossly misbalanced. Many frailties have been overlooked. We're buying potential and not supporting them with talented players, instead we're heaping the pressure on their shoulders and asking them to do something special. Average, functional players sandwiched in-between...
Adam Lallana’s a funny one, isn’t he?
He throws in a sexy little Cruyff turn one minute and follows it up with a weak shot. He draws gasps from the crowd as often as he does groans. His Liverpool career to date has been the very definition of stop-start, as niggly injuries have struck just...
While it's arguable as to who is the top dog in Liverpool’s strikers – whether it’s Daniel Sturridge who is the favoured spearhead or Christian Benteke who leads the pack – one thing that’s for certain is that they are different types of players. One is your agile, pace-driven striker with a fiery left...
“Bück dich, befehl ich dir. Wende dein antlitz ab von mir. Dein gesicht ist mir egal. Bück dich!” – Rammstein, “Bück Dich.”
60% possession. 20% conversion. 100% killed-it.
The Heavy Metal Juggernaut has arrived.
If people thought Klopp was going to iron-out the creases, then they’ve got more than they bargained for. He bulldozed them.
This was a...
During the latter years of his time at Liverpool, Steven Gerrard famously nicknamed Philippe Coutinho as 'the magician'. If that is the case, and the Brazilian does indeed have special powers, it may explain why he's gone missing so far this season.
Alas, he hasn't quite disappeared. His cheesy grin, flamboyant step overs and flair...
Philippe Coutinho has been the main topic of a lot of debates so far this season. The mercurial maestro is perceived to be in a lull of form and this inconsistency in his game is becoming all but too familiar for Liverpool fans. It seems whenever the Brazilian international is out of sorts then...
During the summer months, most agreed that the arrival of James Milner was a coup for Liverpool. The Reds beat off stiff competition from Arsenal to land the England international, who allegedly chose us because of the promise of regular first-team football in central midfield – although I’m sure the £150,000-a-week wages helped, too.
That...
Daniel Sturridge is a bit of an enigma. Potentially world class but rarely available. The main man when he plays but that's not much use when you've missed more games than you've started for the previous 18 months. His quality is unquestionable. His reliability is undesirable.
This is a recurring debate. Should Liverpool keep Daniel...
"If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something." – Eminem.
I like Eminem. I really do.
Hidden ironies, duplicitous meanings and hyperbolic analogisms are all things I enjoy. But when these lyrics conspire to become comparative with the future, the lyrics remain relevant and...
