Light the Fuse on the Liverpool Attack

The Liverpool attack, light the fuse. "Yo back up now and give a brother room, the fuse is lit and I'm about to go boom. Mercy mercy mercy me, but on the stage pitch I'm free" The current season has left myself and many fans feeling frustrated. A poor start left us playing catch up and...

The Joyful Return of the Prodigal Son: Fernando Torres

When the news came out that an All Star Charity game was to be played at Anfield in aid of multiple Liverpool based foundations, I was overjoyed that there would be legends of the game gracing Anfield. As the names of the footballers began trickling in, the interest grew. Amongst the many names was the...

Liverpool Target Moi Gomez Shining Brightly at Villareal

Villarreal's free-flowing midfield dynamo, Moi Gomez, has been an ever present in what so far has been an excellent campaign for the Yellow Submarines. Statistically, his season averages of roughly one key pass per game, one dribble pg and one shot pg don't jump out at you. His four goals and four assists do, though....

Raheem Sterling – The Likeability Factor

Is it there? With a putrid tinge of Louis Walsh here, and one of the many tiresomely predictable X Factor clichés that quite frankly, as with the programme, should have been binned years ago, the question is there to be answered. Raheem Sterling’s ongoing contract situation has led to a substantial amount of criticism on...

Pro Evolution II – Pro Brendan Rodgers

There wasn’t meant to be a part two, but in this earlier, speculative look at where Liverpool might go in the coming months and years, the Liverpool manager barely got a mention. Since then, Brendan Rodgers has been the name on everyone’s lips, on everyone’s blog, in every newspaper, and on all the podcasts, thanks...

The Local vs Global Divide – My Frustration as a Liverpool Fan

"Your opinion doesn't matter. Go and support your local team". This statement, or at least a variation of it delivering the same bone-headed message, is one that makes my blood boil. The first part of it, in all honesty, is a fair comment when taken at face value. To many people your opinion actually doesn't...

Liverpool v Manchester United | Premier League Preview

I’ve heard some crazy things in my time as a football fan.  Some say that Real Madrid v. Barcelona is the best match-up in the world.  From the same country, the Madrid derby has been brought into consideration in recent years.  Others will mention the Milan derby, the London derbies.  Even the Merseyside derby...

Tactically Outclassing Louis Van Gaal

It feels like we've been saying this for weeks now, but Sunday is a must win. Not only will it propel us into the top 4, it also dents the challenge of a rival. Not just any rival though; the rival. United. For the first time in a while a top 4 finish would...

Does Daniel Sturridge have the Durability?

The Spurs game at White Hart Lane in August teased us with a Mario Balotelli/ Daniel Sturridge partnership and left us longing for more. It could have been even more embarrassing had Balotelli been match sharp and Hugo Lloris wasn't in inspired form when facing the Italian. Strike partnerships in the modern era aren't as...

The Magician Coutinho Begins To Work His Magic

I think it's fair to say that throughout his time at LFC, Philippe Coutinho hasn't been recognised as a world class player. Don't get me wrong, he has been a crucial first team player for Liverpool, but he hasn't really caught the eye of many fans of the club. This may have been because...
