Liverpool’s Boom-Bust Seasons Need To Stop Under Klopp

4th. 2nd. 7th. 6th. 8th. 7th. 2nd. 6th. In the last 8 years, no other club in England has yo-yoed quite like Liverpool from the verges of greatness to the verges of mediocrity. Each league season tells their own story, and this context must be fully appreciated in each situation. But clearly a pattern has...

Favourable Fixture List Should Give Liverpool Festive Cheer

Sunday’s game was a typical post-Europa League performance – sluggish, lethargic, scrappy – but for the first time this season, Liverpool won after their travails in Europe. While others dropped points, we picked up three and saw important players return to the side. With our passage to the last 32 of the Europa League...

RIP Gerry Byrne

Sad news this weekend following the death of ex-Liverpool and England full-back Gerry Byrne.  This article looks at the player and the man, and hopefully reads as a glowing tribute to the player nicknamed "Crunch". Gerry Byrne was a right footed player, who played his whole career as a left back, he was an aggressive...

Should Adam Lallana’s Lack of Goals be a Concern?

It's considered the norm these days for Liverpool players to divide fan opinion.
