The Transfer Federation’s blockade held firm. The young Mackem would not be disposed of for a fraction of his value, especially not to facilitate a deal for an aging relic with fading powers. It didn’t matter what the Three Envelopes of Brendan foretold, Hendo was staying.
Darth Brendan liked to think of himself – and...
I think it’s fair to say that when Phillipe Coutinho and Roberto Firmino are on the pitch together, Liverpool have been at their most electric. Chances upon chances, bodies getting into good positions within the 18-yard box, and fluidity up front that fans haven’t seen for two years. This is, indeed, all well and...
The Liverpool front of house has had a drastic change since the appointment of Jurgen Klopp but is the most effective change the one behind the scenes ?
On the pitch we have our eccentric German doing his upmost to rid Anfield of the toxic atmosphere that has plagued the club for the past 18...
Feed the Scousers, let them know it’s Christmas time.
How we laugh eh?
I was at St James' Park last week for that inexplicably insipid performance from what had, up until that point, been an impressive looking all-red bandwagon we had going on there. (Chill out everyone, it will kick in again any match-day now.)
When Newcastle...
In recent weeks, Liverpool have put on three stellar displays: dismembering Chelsea, Manchester City and Southampton all away from home, and yet there have also been some dire, and rather boring affairs - the Newcastle and Sion matches, and to an extent the Swansea match were all too familiar and brought back bad memories...
I recently wrote a piece inspired by the positivity of the 6-1 victory over Southampton in the Capital One Cup. In that match there was a real feeling that Jurgen Klopp was starting to introduce his tactical concepts to the squad and that we would see the team go from strength to strength. Since...
Statistics can tell you a number of things and sometimes can cloud fans judgements on players, some players pass completion rates are incredibly high, but if they only pass safe short passes into the more gifted players, is this really telling you the full picture? Â Similarly, with Simon Mignolet, he has had 5 clean...
Just who are these German minnows?
For those unfamiliar with the Bundesliga a match against Augsburg may seem like a walk in the park. The German outfit currently lay in 13th place, a mere 4 points ahead of bottom side VFB Stuggart in the table having lost half their 16 league games they've played this...
Jürgen Klopp conducted the Anfield orchestra during Liverpool’s 2-2 draw against West Bromwich Albion, and thanked the crowd at the end of the game for their response.
In some quarters, the events of Sunday afternoon may be described as an overreaction, but to view it in this way would be to miss the point.
The ground...
It has been a weird season. We are midway through December, sixteen games into the season, and Watford currently sit two places and a point above Liverpool ahead of their match next weekend. A point at home against West Bromwich Albion shouldn't be celebrated but given the circumstances, it's a good point. How important...
