Brendan Rodgers and the rebirth of Steven Gerrard

At a time where many of us are patting ourselves on the back and saying, "I told you Brendan Rodgers was the man for us" and watching in admiration at how he is helping return us to our perch, I feel it is only right that I hold my hands up and admit to...

The Epic Season of 13/14 | The Story So Far for Liverpool FC

"Can't believe this; same old story again.", Cried from the crowd before Jon Walter's pen, "He's goin' to score, this season is shit, 'Look at the bald Evertonian tit." "Come on Simon, let us see what you're worth! 'Prove to us Reds that you're made for the shirt," The crowd became tense, and the scene was set, Arses in ribbons, heads...

Liverpool FC’s Diamond Formation: An Analysis

How very interesting it was to sit down and watch Manchester United in Champions League action against Olympiacos, putting in a much better performance than that of three days previously against Liverpool (you know, the one in which we won 3-0? Remember that? Vaguely?). After their midfielders got bypassed and played through by Liverpool, they...

Liverpool – A True Underdog Story (in the making)

It’s August 2009 Liverpool travel down to White Hart Lane for the opening game of the Premier League season. Xabi Alonso, Sami Hyypia and Alvaro Arbeloa had all departed Merseyside for pastures new and in came Alberto Aquilani, Glen Johnson and Sotirios Kyrgiakos.

Manchester United Vs Liverpool | Deja Vu…. with some differences!

For one week in March 2009, we ruled the world. March 10th: Liverpool 4-0 Real Madrid. March 14th: Manchester United 1-4 Liverpool.

One Flew Over the Kolo’s Nest

"No no, no no nono, no no nono, no no nono Toure" Admittedly, that was poor.

Liverpool FC in August 2014 | What changes could Liverpool make?

Thanks to Brendan Rodgers and his team's work so far this season I am going to suggest that we have already done enough to secure a top 4 spot this season. We have 10 games left to try and finish as high as we possibly can in the Barclays Premier League. The Champions League is where...

Brendan Rodgers and The Transfer Committee | The Outgoings

Doubters. Something Brendan Rodgers has had to deal with throughout his brief period as Liverpool manager. Whether it be his credentials, his methods, his transfer signings, his bosses, or his vocabulary, there is nothing that has escaped the manager from ridicule. With particular regards to transfers, fans have spoken themselves to death in discussing who to...

Fabio Borini – Good, but good enough for Liverpool? | Stats Analysis

The Past I’d be lying if I said I knew a lot about Fabio Borini before he had been linked with Liverpool FC. The hype surrounding him prior to his reunion with Brendan Rodgers was quite unfounded and primarily based on video compilations of his best footballing moments. A section of the fans opined that...
