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...
Sad news this weekend following the death of ex-Liverpool and England full-back Gerry Byrne. Â 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...
It's considered the norm these days for Liverpool players to divide fan opinion. Reds manager Jurgen Klopp was supposed to unite a fractured fanbase but if you scan Twitter you'll find fans squabbling over players. There are consequences to not rating a player. You could state in December you think x player is okay...
Liverpool secured their third win of the week against Swansea, and in doing so extended their time without conceding a goal to 226 minutes. The clean sheet highlights perhaps the most surprising aspect of change since Klopp’s arrival - the sudden sturdiness of Liverpool’s defence. Whilst there have been strong attacking performances, particularly against...
Jordan Henderson and Daniel Sturridge's return to training has overshadowed the fact Jon Flanagan is also nearing a return after a long time out. You can't blame people for overlooking Flanagan though, one is the Liverpool captain, the other is the club's best striker whereas Flanagan is just a back-up player.
The local lad has...
"You'd think he was a Spanish player, a real European player. I would have paid many more millions for this kid,"- Brendan Rodgers on signing Joe Allen

Although Allen has failed...
After two wins on the bounce we now have Swansea City in our sights. The Swans have a number of links with Liverpool FC such as John Toshack, Tommy Smith, Colin Irwin, Brendan Rodgers, Colin Pascoe, Jonjo Shelvey and Joe Allen amongst others, and promises to be a good game.
According to reports, Jordan Henderson and Jordan...
Emre Can, what can I say about him?
He's one of the brightest stars currently in the Liverpool team. His ability to play a number of positions, whether it be wasted in defence, ala the Brendan Rodgers era or in his more natural midfield position makes him an invaluable member of the LiverpooI set up....
On Saturday, Jürgen Klopp’s blitzkrieg offence claimed its latest high-profile away victim in Manchester City. After battering an already-broken Chelsea 3-1 a few weeks back, Liverpool could approach the far more difficult proposition of an Etihad away day with renewed hope, a hope that was certainly not misplaced. By the end of the game, City’s...
Well that was bloody marvellous wasn’t it? Going to the Etihad this time around, given Chelsea’s continual struggles, was, on paper at least, the toughest assignment the Reds would have in the league this season. The fact that just after the half hour Jürgen’s boys found themselves 3-0 up, coasting, and seemingly able to...
