"Pressure is working down the pit.
Pressure is having no work at all.
Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week.
Pressure is not the European Cup or the championship or the Cup Final.
That’s the reward.”

Champions League Final 2018/19
This will be the second season in a row that Liverpool play in the Champions League final and one difference from last season is the overwhelming sense of confidence that they will go on to lift the trophy. There was excitement at reaching the final against Madrid last season, but this time the feeling is that this team is just too good to end the season without a trophy.
Liverpool go into the final as the favourites among most people …
No Ticket? Where to Watch In Madrid: Final TV Tips for Reds’ Eyes Only
Madrid is my city. I’ve lived here for four years after a combination of circumstances allowed my wife and I to choose essentially anywhere to live. There's no better place for a weekend at this time of year. Unfortunately, there is a bit of panic setting in about what Reds can expect when they descend on the Spanish capital in their thousands. I'm more than a little worried as well if I'm honest.
I’ll get into those concerns and they …
Hot in the City - Facts & Figures from the Money Talks Podcast
A near flawless league campaign saw Liverpool become the first team to secure 97 points and not win the league. They were bested by Manchester City who, in consecutive seasons have achieved an unprecedented and colossal 198 points, enabled by their manager and squad.
Understat's xPoints model has Liverpool on 83.45 points, whereas City is on 90.64. This disparity, far greater than the actual points difference is the product of all the chances faced and created, by both sides, simulated …
Liverpool wants £37m-rated as Coutinho replacement
Bayern Munich will not be signing James Rodriguez for £37million this summer and reports from the Mirror claims that Liverpool want the Colombia international as a Philippe Coutinho replacement.
Coutinho left Liverpool in January 2018 and while Xherdan Shaqiri was signed as a direct replacement to the Brazilian, the former Stoke City ace isn't on the same level as Coutinho.
Liverpool haven't signed and lack a natural No. 10 since Coutinho joined Barcelona but the club did come close to …
Why Signing Depay Rather Than Werner Makes More Sense
The transfer window has barely opened and rumours are already going into overdrive.
Those rumours surrounding potential incomings at Liverpool seem to surround a number of attacking players, namely Memphis Depay of Lyon and Timo Werner of Red Bull Leipzig.
There's no doubt that both would be solid additions to Liverpool's already deadly striking options, but both would add different dimensions as their styles of play are so different.
And it's for this reason that, I would argue, one is …
Sergio Ramos Would Revolutionise The Reds
Sergio Ramos Garcia. To Liverpool.
Okay, before you click to close the window and burn your laptop in a barrel in the back yard, let’s remove the name and take a closer look. A 34-year-old centre-back with the ability to play right-back who has piled up four Champions League titles, four La Liga titles, a World Cup title and a myriad of other awards, cups, trophies, badges, etc. He is as skilled as anyone at the position and is a …
Transfer Window? Who Cares?
The transfer window is open, speculation has already started, clubs have already started wheeling and dealing, and Liverpool have been linked with…
Well okay, to be fair, the picture has changed somewhat around Anfield over the last couple of years. Leaks don’t tend to come out of the club at all anymore, which means that whilst some of the unreliable sources will link us to any player that looks like they’d fit the bill, tangible links to players are few …
Obsessed: Everyone Can't Stop Talking About Liverpool
"People don't like winners."Pep Guardiola was remarkably defensive but also equally defiant at his press conference. He would go on to state that his club simply does not get the same respect afforded to Liverpool. It's probably true. Over the past few months, he has likely faced as many questions about Liverpool as Jürgen Klopp. Liverpool is the team that simply refuses to go away. Unshakeable, and impossible to throw off, Liverpool took Manchester City all the …
Liverpool Player Ratings: End of Season Edition - Part One
It's that time of year again, a time for reflection. A memorable domestic campaign drew to a disappointing end for Liverpool as a ninth straight league win wasn't enough to prevent Manchester City from a successive title, but there were a string of positives - one of which being qualification for another Champions League final.
Whilst we're still a couple of weeks from finding out if the Liverpool squad can make themselves heroes by bringing home number six from Madrid, …
