Thiago Could Provide Silva Lining for Lovren-Less Liverpool

The ongoing global pandemic has already had a big impact on football finances. With games returning behind closed doors, clubs have been deprived of matchday revenues, in terms of hospitality, ticket sales, and other streams of income, such as club shop sales. Additionally, and more impactfully, television rebates -- even given the fact they have...

“The worst game since the restart”… and why I couldn’t care less

Frustration, anguish, fits of anger and a bore draw, Liverpool may have returned to action in a less than stellar fashion… but I’m glad that it's back. The much anticipated return of the Merseyside derby may have ultimately delivered an anemic whistle instead of the earth shattering bang we had hoped for but it was...

Liverpool positive PR spin is actually a negative

Sometimes, the PR offensive used by the club to justify something can be a little tiring. In the aftermath of missing out on Timo Werner, journalists close to the club opted to use what would’ve been the total cost of the deal to bring the Germany international to Anfield as opposed to just the...

Liverpool FC Back To The Future

This week I was lucky enough to get hold of some black and white pieces of art from the Hillsborough 1989 Derby Cup Final. A set of black and white images which, although the Wembley sun illuminated a brilliantly colourful afternoon, seem thoroughly and appropriately bleak given that 95 (at the time) Liverpool fans would...

Why Coutinho To Liverpool Doesn’t Make Sense

Let's start with a little housekeeping. Football fandom can sometimes imbue in supporters a sense of "I didn't fancy her anyway", a jilted ex-lover sentiment when it comes to talking about footballers who have left their club, especially in acrimonious circumstances. But lets called a spade a spade, Phillipe Coutinho -- despite the last two and...

Oxlade Chamberlain Could Give Liverpool Derby Edge

Liverpool will reacquaint themselves with familiar adversaries when they reconvene their postponed Premier League season on Sunday evening. The title-chasing Reds face off against Everton in the Merseyside derby at Goodison Park, knowing that a win will either -- depending on how Arsenal fare when they face Manchester City away on Wednesday night -- put...

Champions Elect.

We're past that stage now aren't we? That fear? That suspension of belief? We only sang "We're gonna win the league" with gusto after we beat United at Anfield back in January. Was it really only six months ago? It seems like an age seems like 30 years. Liverpool are going to win the league...

Do Liverpool need Philippe Coutinho?

It’s that time of the year again. With transfers being discussed, Philippe Coutinho is once again being linked with a return to Liverpool. It’s been a regular occurrence ever since he forced his way out of Anfield to secure a dream move to Barcelona. But that quickly turned into a nightmare.  He was nothing more...

Jordan Henderson: Liverpool’s Linchpin Leader

This past week marked the nine-year anniversary of Jordan Henderson's transfer from Sunderland to Liverpool. From a skinny right-sided midfielder -- who admitted to being daunted at sharing the same midfield as Steven Gerrard -- to a colossal leader of men, Henderson has come of age at Anfield and is the ideal player to lead...

Liverpool, football, and the return to normality

Depending on when you’re reading this, it’s about a week, or maybe less, until the season continues, and Liverpool travel to Goodison Park in a game scheduled originally for Monday 16th March. That game will now be played, three months later, on Sunday 21st June. I recently noted on Twitter, as Liverpool’s move for Timo...
