Europa League: Liverpool's Step Back to Leap Forward
Bittersweet Departure: Liverpool's Champions League Run Ends
The Fall from Grace
Liverpool, after a glorious half a dozen years in the elite circle of Europe's football prowess, is bidding adieu. The anticipated return to the Europa League is, in fact, a regression to the past. The glistening grandeur of the Champions League, that became synonymous with Jurgen Klopp's reign, will be a missed spectacle next season.
It's an unpleasant reality - one that hasn't pierced the Reds since the 2015-16 …
Lessons Learned: Aston Villa
Maybe the emotion got the better of us as fans. It certainly seemed to for the players until later on, when Liverpool managed to rescue a point against Aston Villa. Anfield said an emotional goodbye to a number of players, with it perhaps being fitting that the man who scored the equaliser received the largest outpouring of emotions throughout the day. We take a look at the lessons learned from a game where next season’s picture became clearer and there’s …

Time To Say Goodbye to Two Liverpool Legends
It’s a time for goodbyes at Anfield on Saturday. First off, farewell to a pretty average season. There were times when it was really bad. It’s ended reasonably well but even if Manchester United and Newcastle slip up, it’s been a year of underachievement.
There’s mixed feelings about the players who are leaving. Roberto Firmino has had a brilliant farewell tour. It will culminate in front of the Kop against Aston Villa. There’s been enough love sent Bobby’s way. Actually, …
Who Should Be Liverpool’s Rivals Next Season…
Manchester City have been the most prominent domestic rival for Liverpool, essentially since Jürgen Klopp took the helm at Anfield. Despite a much-needed improvement process (after the Brendan Rodgers regime), it became clear (very quickly) that Pep Guardiola and his financial doping Blues, would become the key adversary for our German manager. The previous four seasons have seen the Reds finish as runners up to the Etihad team on two occasions, winners once, whilst finishing a disappointing 3rd due to …
Why Alisson Becker should be Liverpool's Player of the Year
Liverpool’s performance in their 3-0 win at Leicester City on Monday evening was the sort of calm, controlled display that has been largely lacking on the road in 2022/23. Even if they beat Southampton on the final day, this will still be the Reds’ worst away campaign under Jürgen Klopp, with only eight seasons seeing lower points-per-game averages in the Premier League era.
The first half at the King Power Stadium played out in similar fashion to the opening 45 …
How LFC Could Best Spend £250m…
With our world-famous club now off the market (apparently), it seems that John Henry and his FSG group are keen to realign the structure within Liverpool FC. With finance likely coming their way, it does appear that a soft release of the club is still afoot, one which will allow the sale process to be undertaken in a professional and elongated manner. My take on the sale, is that any new investor willing to take a £1bn stake in this …
Leicester 0 - 3 Liverpool - The Post-Mortem
This was perhaps the most awkward game of our final three fixtures, against a team still fighting to stay in the Premier League. With Brendan Rodgers (by mutual consent) having been given his marching orders in early April, Dean Smith was the man put in charge of saving the 2015/16 league champions. This game represented the 8th game in charge for the former Aston Villa manager, with the results giving the following data…
8 games played.
1 game won.
