Built on Emotion, Yet Ruthlessly Executed
Somehow, it was inevitable that it ended this way.
Not with a roar that had been pent up for thirty years, not with a glorious cavalcade, not even in front of any fans. In fact, there weren’t even any red shirts on the pitch at the end of the ninety minutes that confirmed Liverpool as champions.
Liverpool’s title celebrations were a long, long time coming. Tragedy had become ingrained into the club’s fabric, yet the close-calls and traumatic experiences – …
Liverpool's Joël Matip out for the remainder of the season with foot injury
Liverpool defender Joël Matip will reportedly miss the rest of the 2019/20 season due to a foot injury.
Matip will miss the remaining seven league games for Jürgen Klopp's side after sustaining the injury in the 0-0 draw with Everton at Goodison Park.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com, Matip said:
“This season I will be not back on the pitch but for next season, I hope I’m going to be quite early a direct help for the team.”Matip, despite all the …
Title-Winning Liverpool the Best for Decades
Well they did it. It’s over.
Liverpool were officially labelled Premier League Champions as Man City slipped up at Chelsea, losing 2-1 and giving Liverpool a 23 point lead with seven games to go.
This is the first time in my lifetime I’ve seen Liverpool win the title and for many of you it’s likely either the first of your life or the first one you’re old enough to remember.
And for me, this Liverpool team is unquestionably the best …
Bukayo Saka: A Potential Liverpool Target
As much as you could learn next to nothing from Liverpool's return to football from their pandemic hiatus in the drab 0-0 Merseyside derby draw at Goodison Park -- a game played with the tempo of a pre-season friendly -- it did reaffirm something that many of their fans knew: The Reds need a natural, back up option to Andy Robertson.
The Scot -- alongside Mohamed Salah -- sat out the game due to an unspecified knock and into his …
Trent Alexander-Arnold gives his take on Neco Williams' Premier League debut
Liverpool's young full-back Neco Williams made his Premier League debut last Wednesday night against Crystal Palace and Trent Alexander-Arnold was very impressed with the academy graduate.
Williams came on late in the 4-0 win at Anfield over Roy Hodson's Eagles. The right-back had some great touches and even managed to get a shot on target after some nice footwork in the box.
Buzzing to have made my premier league debut tonight but more importantly to get the 3pts …
Why Liverpool should sign Serie A wonderkid
Liverpool don’t have the best of luck when it comes to buying Italian players. Alberto Aquilani’s time on Merseyside was plagued by injuries, Andrea Dossena had that one week as a cult hero, Fabio Borini failed to live up to the hype while Mario Balotelli was, well, Mario Balotelli.
The Reds have been near faultless in the transfer market since they stopped buying Italian players. But you have to dip your toe back in the water at some point, don’t …
Liverpool's Wait Is Over
Finally, after what felt like an interminable wait, Liverpool Football Club are Champions of England once again.
The Reds' 19th crown -- their first in the Premier League era -- is all the more impressive, given the club's recent boom and bust history; where a title challenge would inevitably be followed a season later by a calamitous collapse.
The title tilt of 2001/2002 was followed by a meek 5th placed finish in 2002/2003, again owing to poor transfer market manoeuvring, …
Liverpool: Champions of Time
“Doubters to believers”
A mantra that Jurgen Klopp has drummed into the Liverpool faithful from day one. For decades, three of them to be precise, Liverpool had mounted a few real title challenges, only to fall desperately short and fade into mediocrity thereafter.
We’ve seen managerial changes, changes of ownership and players come and go. Still, that title remained as elusive as a mask at a Trump Rally. As Klopp walked away from that opening press conference, supporters already began …
Liverpool Aren't Lucky
There’s a strange narrative appearing online. Not only are Liverpool lucky to be in the position they find themselves in, but they’re also boring.
Firstly, we’ll address the latter. Fans aren’t used to seeing the level of control shown by the Reds this season. Even the Centurions didn’t have as many points as Liverpool do at this stage of the campaign. Jurgen Klopp’s men haven’t been thrashing teams like Man City did during the 2017/18 season but it feels as …
