Is The Liverpool Midfield Good Enough?

No. The end. The Liverpool midfield is one area of the team that is difficult to judge. Individually many fans would say the players have enough about them to warrant a place in the Liverpool squad but it's as a collective that questions are asked, and rightly so. Jordan Henderson, James Milner, Joe Allen, Lucas and...

The Good, The Bad And The Ugly – Luis Suarez

I don't get it, I really just don't get it. I don't get the love affair some Liverpool fans, sorry the majority of Liverpool fans, still have with ex-Liverpool striker Luis Suarez. I for one am glad he's gone from Liverpool and that he is now plying his trade in La Liga. Some of...

Wild Celebration and Wembley Qualification…

...But let's not get carried away! Just four days after the dramatic stoppage-time victory at Carrow Road, Liverpool qualified for the Capital One Cup final on Tuesday night thanks to the perhaps unexpected heroics of Simon Mignolet in the penalty shoot-out. Not only are we on our way to ‘Anfield South’ once more, but those...

Why Liverpool Should Pay Over the Odds for Alex Teixeira

Value for money. Paying over the odds. Cheaper alternatives. It's quite common now for fans, and the media, to believe they know the value of players and what their club should be spending when they they're looking to bring somebody in. The latest player to be put under a microscope is Shahktar Donetsk's Alex Teixeira. Plenty...

Observations From the Win That Sends Us to Wembley!

"Man City or Everton, it doesn't matter. We'll win the Cup." - Jurgen Klopp Our manager is fanning the flames. He's bringing back a trophy in his debut season. It wasn't particularly pretty and it won't be remembered as a spectacle but Liverpool once again dug deep to take something away from a disappointing performance. It's been...

Lallana and Milner: The End of Vanilla

If Saturday's game took-place in a coal mine, the canary would have exploded. Lallana and Milner's lack of goals and assists has seen them recently labelled "useless", "awful", "overrated" and "beige." They had become representative of the modern Liverpool: bland, boring and mid-table. From about as much promise as a tub of Wall's - this Vanilla-Pod-Duo could only manage so much...

Dissecting Liverpool’s Defending Against Norwich City

The dust has settled on what the scoreline suggests will be looked back upon as a Premier League classic. But, in truth, Liverpool's game against Norwich ended 5-4 only because of some horrible defending, especially from the visitors. As I will try to show by the end of this piece, none of the four goals...

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....
