Klopp Talks Gerrard, Regret and Tourism

"My one regret in life is that I am not someone else." Woody Allen All of us know the irksome sting of regret. How many times have you, dear reader, walked away from a verbal confrontation, thwarted by your own inarticulacy, only to be imbued later with what the French call l'esprit de l'escalier - staircase...

Adam Lallana: Is His Pressing Enough to Warrant a First-Team Place?

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...

One is your agile, pace-driven striker with a fiery left...

Bundesliga Attackers That Would Improve Liverpool

Liverpool’s lack of goals, both this season and last, have become something of a concern. So far this season, before victory against Chelsea this past weekend, Liverpool had scored more than one goal in a Premier League match on only one occasion, against a woeful Aston Villa side. A tally of just 52 goals...

The diminutive Brazilian hasn't had the best of times since his beautiful long-range winner at Stoke City on the opening day of the season. So what has been the issue for Coutinho? Lack of options in front of him? Lack of...

Without Rodgers, We Wouldn’t Be Here

You all know, I'm no advocate of Brendan Rodgers.  There are have been several articles and podcasts that I've been on where I've slated, bemoaned, and even be-damned our former manager. But, if we're honest with one another, we wouldn't be in this current position without him. Going back a little, we were a club that...
