The Premier League returns this upcoming week, and our beloved Reds begin the campaign with a grudge match away to Stoke City. After The-Match-That-Will-Not-Be-Named closed out the 2014/15 season, we go again to the Britannia to face the Potters. The pressure mounts every passing day, but so too does the excitement for league football...
Cast your mind back to the last time Liverpool played at Stoke. Yes, that game. 'The 6-1', as it's become known.
The humbling at the Britannia provided no finer example of the need for a streak of nastiness under Brendan Rodgers. A team being humiliated in this fashion by supposedly inferior opposition should have been...
As part of the AI Summer Holiday series, I've gone to the German Bundesliga to identify 3 players who I believe would improve the current Liverpool team.
Benedikt Höwedes
I initially thought it would be pointless identifying an upgrade on Martin Skrtel after he signed a new contract and appears to be the front runner to...
It's an unwritten rule that managers tend to like two players for every position within their squad. The Liverpool squad as a whole hasn't looked this healthy for years but we seem to be lacking a second left back. The links to Lucas Digne may have stemmed from this. It's easy journalism. Liverpool need...
The summer break often has mystical powers when it comes to football fans. Any disappointments from the previous season become fading memories and the positives can be somewhat embellished; a few new signings and the magical optimism returns. The excitement builds as your team travels to the four corners of the world to play...
Much has been made this summer about Liverpool buying in bulk again. Many fans believe we now have the numbers to compete in the many competitions we'll be involved in this coming season. The question is not 'if' Liverpool have the numbers but whether they've got the requisite quality? After all, numbers don't always...
It's clearly a good thing, who are we kidding?
Rumours broke in the media that Liverpool were looking to sell the naming rights for the new stand that's under construction. You'd assume this would be a positive and fans would react accordingly so but apparently it's "small time", "plastic" and "beneath a club with such...
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...
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...
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...
