Predicting Liverpool To Win The FA Cup

Everyone associated with the club will admit that the 2015-16 Premier League season was a disappointing one for Liverpool. The club finished in eighth place, its worst finishing position since 2011-12 and, before that, 1993-94. Yet Liverpool fans are full of hope for the 2016-17 season, primarily due to it being Jurgen Klopp’s first...

Liverpool vs Leicester City Preview: All Eyes on the Main Stand as the Reds Return Home

Liverpool host Leicester City in their first home game of the 2016-17 season on Saturday evening, as the newly renovated Main Stand makes it's first appearance to the nation. There'll be 54,000 packed inside Anfield in what's expected to be a full house, the Reds entertaining the champions in front of the biggest home crowd...

The Captain and Klopp: The Virtue of Patience

Rome was not built in a day. Any long-standing success is, usually, the product of a carefully planned and executed strategy and, unfortunately for some, the phrase rings true in the world of football. Liverpool Football Club's reputation alongside other European giants is not a result of recent results, it is the deserved product...

The Sakho Conundrum

The last few months have been nothing short of a roller coaster ride for Liverpool’s #3, Mamadou Sakho. Being accused (falsely) for taking an illegal substance, subsequently missing out on very important matches for Liverpool, to being acquitted of those charges a a few months later. Then he picked up an injury, got sent home...

Klopp Building For The Future

Modern football, its chairmen, managers and supporters alike, is obsessed with the quick fix. Typified by the wanton spending of Premier League- which often seems panicked and ill-advised- clubs in this summer’s transfer window, clubs want success and they are prepared to acquire it by means of chequebook, rather than honing the skills of...

The Case For The Defence

Who remembers the City game last season? Not the League Cup final or the 4-1 massacre at the Etihad but the home game. If you’re struggling it was the game where Jon Flanagan kicked Raheem Sterling in the air in the opening minutes and his captain hissed ‘Yes’ at him while exhibiting a Tim Henman...

Stop the Criticism and Guesswork – Judge Klopp in May and Beyond

When you do someone an almighty favour and get very little thanks for it, it’s one of the most frustrating things you can encounter in day-to-day life. Without proclaiming him to be bigger than Liverpool Football Club - he most certainly isn’t - part of Jurgen Klopp must be feeling a little like that currently. Well,...

Georginio Wijnaldum: Slow Starter or Solid Signing?

Georginio Wijnaldum was signed from a relegated Newcastle United this summer in a transfer that was, to most, unexpected. The Netherlands international, who signed for Newcastle only last summer from Eredevisie outfit PSV, carried with him a reputation for drifting in and out of games a long with a price tag exceeding the 20...

Missed Opportunities for Liverpool in the Transfer Window

I know many will be thinking after reading that title. "You cynical bastard. The transfer window has only just shut and you're already putting a negative spin on it. Passing judgement before Klopp's even had the chance to field his strongest XI". And to those who are thinking that - you're probably right. It may be...

Jordan Henderson – Lack Of Ability

Jordan Henderson has been a heavily discussed topic amongst Liverpool fans for the past year or so, there is probably a 50-50 split between fans who think he isn’t good enough and those, who are still behind him as a player and give him the support he probably deserves. I would like to mention...
