For a Liverpool fan, there are very few feelings that can top the joy at the final whistle of a victory over our age-old rivals, Everton and Manchester United. What could be sweeter than wins over your local rivals and long-term competitive rivals? Well, the answer to that of course is beating Chelsea.
The Liverpool...
“He’s big and he’s fucking hard.”
He was our Captain. He was our Leader. He was our “Never-Miss-Set-Piece-Taker.” Now, he is our biggest regret.
When Gerrard left for LA Galaxy, I was pleased. I was excited to see a new team, a new Captain, going in a new direction.
Maybe the disappointment of the 14/15 season was...
During the latter years of his time at Liverpool, Steven Gerrard famously nicknamed Philippe Coutinho as 'the magician'. If that is the case, and the Brazilian does indeed have special powers, it may explain why he's gone missing so far this season.
Alas, he hasn't quite disappeared. His cheesy grin, flamboyant step overs and flair...
Philippe Coutinho has been the main topic of a lot of debates so far this season. The mercurial maestro is perceived to be in a lull of form and this inconsistency in his game is becoming all but too familiar for Liverpool fans. It seems whenever the Brazilian international is out of sorts then...
During the summer months, most agreed that the arrival of James Milner was a coup for Liverpool. The Reds beat off stiff competition from Arsenal to land the England international, who allegedly chose us because of the promise of regular first-team football in central midfield – although I’m sure the £150,000-a-week wages helped, too.
That...
Perception is a wonderfully subjective thing. You, dear reader, delightfully urbane aesthete that you are, may consider the ideal evening to consist of a few glasses of Pinot noir and a poetry reading from a celebrated bard, whereas you, equally treasured reader, might prefer a night of sticking sharp objects in your sensitive regions...
Daniel Sturridge is a bit of an enigma. Potentially world class but rarely available. The main man when he plays but that's not much use when you've missed more games than you've started for the previous 18 months. His quality is unquestionable. His reliability is undesirable.
This is a recurring debate. Should Liverpool keep Daniel...
"If there's not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something." – Eminem.
I like Eminem. I really do.
Hidden ironies, duplicitous meanings and hyperbolic analogisms are all things I enjoy. But when these lyrics conspire to become comparative with the future, the lyrics remain relevant and...
Sturridge: 42 goals in 68 games.
It’s a phenomenal record that outranks some of the most prolific and proficient strikers to ever spearhead a Liverpool attack.
However, 73 games in which Daniel Sturridge was sat, frustratingly, on the sidelines, not simply due to one key weakness in his frame either. Suffering from two ankle injuries, one...
Even before Jurgen Klopp took over as Liverpool manager the English media had been pushing the idea that this Liverpool side is average. The same media were the ones praising the signings of James Milner and Christian Benteke saying they'd take the Reds up another level. So how can a team finish 6th last...
