Thomas Gronnemark and the Ever Evolving Jürgen Klopp

When it was announced towards the tail end of last season that Jurgen Klopp’s long-time deputy, Zeljko Buvac, would stand down from his position for the foreseeable future for “personal reasons” there was a disturbingly popular school of thought that this could have a detrimental effect on both Klopp and Liverpool. Many pointed to...

Mo’eyBall: Appreciation of the Undervalued at Liverpool

The word miracle is bandied around frequently in the modern world in an attempt to garner attention for rather mundane concepts. Diets, cures for disease, intervention from an omnipotent being etc. are often met with discourse and are cause for debate which may last until the end of time. Conversely to this, in the realm...

An Uncertain Future for Dominic Solanke

Joining back in the summer of 2017, a lot of fans didn’t know quite what to make of Dominic Solanke’s arrival. Yes, he had the potential having earned plaudits from Chelsea’s former youth coach, Adi Viveash, but arriving at a time when Liverpool had just finished inside the top-four, fans wanted a bigger name...

Henderson Brings Out The Stubbornness In All Of Us

What better way to liven up the start of a tedious international break than to announce Jordan Henderson's new five-year deal at Liverpool? That certainly fired us all back into life, didn't it? The obsession and division that the Liverpool skipper causes among the fanbase is unlike any player in recent memory, with so many holding...

Liverpool Football Club – Not Panicking Anymore

Four games, twelve points, a single goal conceded. The supporters couldn't have hoped for a better start of the season. Or could we? The Reds aren't really blowing teams away, one can perhaps label our last two victories scrappy. Liverpool supporters can make a great case study on human nature. It's been exactly ten...

Liverpool’s Midfield Imbalance

So far this season, Liverpool have accumulated 12 points after winning their first four matches of the campaign, even despite the Reds barely moving into second gear. Klopp's title challengers have thus far won 4-0, 2-0, 1-0 and 2-1, but in one of those contests, Liverpool struggled considerably to regain control more so than...

Liverpool Fans – Enjoy the Ride!

We are four games into the season and have accumulated 12 points from a possible 12 points, yet the doom and gloom merchants are out in force, criticising Jurgen Klopp’s team selection, his use of substitutions, his timing of substitutions etc. Liverpool had played their first three games of the season with the same starting...

Leicester 1-2 Liverpool: A Tactical Breakdown

After a series of games in which one team opened themselves up to be spatially exploited, and two decided to sit tight and deep, Leicester offered a new and different challenge to those Liverpool have already faced this season. Leicester were far more aggressive than previous opponents, but the game was largely characterised by...

Kenny Dalglish on his second spell as manager Liverpool

"I was really looking forward to seeing Fernando playing with Suarez." - Kenny Dalglish, The King and AI, episode 2 Weren't we all... As an outsider to the inner machinations of the club, no matter how big of a fan you are, it's very rare to get a chance to get the full, unabridged, unaltered story. But...

Gini Wijnaldum – Liverpool’s New No.5

Naby Keita, James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Jordan Henderson, Adam Lallana, Fabinho and Gini Wijnaldum. Seven midfielders, all of whom are justified in thinking themselves worthy of a starting position in the Liverpool line-up. Had you asked many fans which of the above would be looking for a club over the summer, the betting would suggest...
