Football fans are the masters of kicking players when they're down. You would think that when someone is in dire need of our support and love, we would shower them with comfort and reassurance, messages of positive praise or maybe some motivational quotes to boost their already dwindled confidence. But what do we do...
I don’t think it would be unfair to say that it’s been a strange old season so far. For want of a better analogy, it has been a genuine rollercoaster ride, with high points quickly hitting the lows before zipping up back to the peaks again. It’s one of those years where anything can...
"We are all sharks circling, and waiting, for traces of blood in the water."
- Alan Clark.
As fans we're all guilty of bias when it comes to our opinions on a player. It could be your gut instinct or maybe you see something you don't like early on in their career at the club and...
When it was reported in the summer of 2013 that Liverpool were interested in buying a young attacking midfielder from Spain, there was a sense of intrigue among the Liverpool supporters.
Liverpool had scouted 20-year old Luis Alberto since he was 16; he was then playing for Sevilla's youth teams. Several top clubs, including FC...

With the Reds sitting ninth in the league and the lack of transfers in the January window fans are already pinpointing deficiencies within the current...
As football supporters, it's only natural to crave success. We want the club we adore to achieve great things, to challenge for honours and ultimately be a consistent force both domestically and within Europe. Deep down we all want this, but strangely I don't necessarily want it just yet. Now that may sound like...
Hopeless: "Impossible to accomplish, solve, resolve, etc."

What many of us thought was an under-rated and under-valued squad - abused and suppressed by Rodgers' ignorance and personal insecurities - has turned-out to be farce.
Of course, many of our problems were exacerbated by Rodgers' approach....
Last summer, as a Liverpool fan there was not that much to rejoice about. Liverpool had finished the 2014/2015 season in a disappointing sixth position having come so close to winning the Premier League title the year before. Daniel Sturridge was hardly seen by fans, the goals from the 2013/2014 season had dried up,...
Following another of those performances away at Leicester, you know, the one where we boss possession but create very few clear cut chances on goal, there has been a lot written about the current state of play.
The current squad has been scrutinised and pulled apart and for the first time since he arrived, I...
