Luis Suarez. Thierry Henry. Dennis Bergkamp. Didier Drogba. What do these illustrious names all have in common?
They all struggled to set the world alight in their first season in the Premier League, among endless other truly brilliant footballers. Given the impatient nature of the modern football supporter, they were written off as a “waste of...
Okay. I’ve almost succumbed to the fact that we’re going in for another Southampton player in Sadio Mane. Which would make him the fifth player Liverpool has signed from the south west club in 3 years, costing us another hefty £30m, which would coincidentally make him Liverpool Football Club’s third most expensive signing, with Roberto...
Legacy. Heritage. History. For an enterprise that had reached the zenith of excellence, conquering all more than once, yesteryear glories can be very heavy on its shoulders. It is almost suffocating for the same enterprise to rise above cold dark times.
The sense of entitlement endeared through our legacy, our heritage, our history, can only...
There's a strange narrative surrounding Nathaniel Clyne, a divide amongst Liverpool supporters. Some argue he's the finest right-back in the country, others doubt his contribution and want him to be replaced. For a player of such stability and consistency it amazes me that he draws such negative attention. So I thought best to explore...
We're all bad liars.
No matter how much we say "we trust Klopp" as things stand we don't, not wholeheartedly anyway, and repeating it won't make it any more truthful. The sad thing is it's through no fault of his own. The enigmatic German hasn't even had a summer transfer window in charge of Liverpool...
Ever since the arrival of Loris Karius, Liverpool social media has been The Joker, a narcissistic person who just strives on causing pain and fear into everyone. For a month now, Liverpool Football Club has transformed itself into a mime that just went dark, and not one person has a clue on which player...
Daniel Sturridge has been up against it since his move to Chelsea.
He's had to prove he isn't a money grabber after leaving Manchester City to join Chelsea. He's had to prove he doesn't have a 'poor attitude'. He's had to prove to the masses that he isn't lazy; and that accusation in itself is...
Today I came across an idea - or rather stole it from the AnfieldIndex guys, in particular it was an article written by @SamMcGuire90 which you can read here.
Basically he was told to think like a Director of Football or Sports Director - or whatever name you want to use for that exact position - and concentrate...
I’ve had a week off and it’s been lovely. I got to go back to Liverpool for a few days, see some mates and do some research for my next book, which involved me standing on a wet beach on the Wirral. I’ve been looking forward to this for a while as it’s not...
As I write this, there are 75 days to go for the transfer window to shut, and there are Liverpool fans already writing off 2016-17 for us, citing our lack of transfer activity.
That might just be acceptable though, when you consider that there is a considerable section of the fans who want the club...
