Good Signings but Where is the Defensive Plan?

Christian Benteke, Roberto Firmino, Danny Ings, James Milner, Nathaniel Clyne, Adam Bogdan, Joe Gomez and the returning Divock Origi have all been added to the squad this summer in quick time. Great credit must go to the club for quickly bringing in their chosen targets. Whilst many will debate on whether these signings represent...

Exit This Way: Spending Over, Awaiting Departures

Christian Benteke's arrival brings total newcomers to seven and expenditure to £69.8 million. It makes for a crowded dressing room, but with August almost upon us and spending completed, Liverpool desperately need a clean-out. They're often messy. Just as contracts give clubs great platforms when selling, players can equally sit back and run down lucrative...

Lovren’s Actions Speak Louder Than Words

Dejan Lovren is mentally weak. I don't like making assumptions or accusations like this, especially when they're towards people I don't personally know, but this is just something you can't ignore. All players want to be loved but Dejan Lovren seems like the sort that needs positive reinforcement to function. Less than one week after saying he...

James Milner – Adding Another Level to the Liverpool Midfield

James Milner's move to Liverpool was a poorly kept secret. It was more of a matter of when and not if he'd sign for Liverpool. His signing once again split an already fractured fan base. Yes, he arrived on a free transfer but wages and signing on fee were rumoured to be a fairly handy...

Goals, Goals, Goals!

So the new season is nearly upon us. Just over two weeks to go until LFC can begin to pick up the pieces of a shambolic end to last season and try to instil confidence in themselves and the loyal fan base. New signings and coaches are settling in and the fans are trying...

Video: Coutinho, Ibe and Markovic take on The Redmen TV!

The Redmen TV, in collaboration with Vauxhall Football present Liverpool players Phil Coutinho, Jordon Ibe and Lazar Markovic taking on Redmen TV’s Chris "The Cat" Pajak. The players have 5 seconds to score, but will they?! It seems the lads had a great laugh recording this and we're sure it'll appeal to you all! Important to...

Benteke vs. Firmino – Let’s have a gander, shall we?

In lieu of pissing off yet more Scousers I have decided to tone down the abuse and cast a more critical eye. Fuck knows how it’s going to turn out. One confirmed impressively early and the other at the centre of yet another drawn out, big money move; Roberto Firmino and Christian Benteke represent two sides...

Ray Clemence | Heroes of Our Past

Let’s start by being a little contentious for the younger generation who never saw the man play, or – at best – have seen little bits of his performances on YouTube and official LFC merchandise: Raymond Neal Clemence was the best goalkeeper I ever saw, in any team, ever – better than Banks, Shilton,...

Danny Ings – A shrewd summer signing in the shadow of Benteke?

On January 30th I wrote an article on the site titled "Danny Ings isn't that offensive". It was the day after the rumours began about the 22 year old joining Liverpool this summer and Twitter was having its daily meltdown. Fast forward 6 months and Danny Ings is a Liverpool player, has already opened his...

The Ghosts of Pre-Season Past

Pre-season is upon us with all the thrill, excitement and hope that comes with it… Okay, maybe not thrill and excitement but there’s hope, there’s always hope right? That’s what kills us, every year, every pre-season a player rises from the shadows stringing together a series of quality performances only for that glimmer of...
