Liverpool

New Kids On The Block

I often try to avoid most pundits nowadays, as I struggle to make sense of the drivel spouted. I do sometimes enjoy the bluntness of Roy Keane and Graeme Souness, and the banter between Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville was initially entertaining. BT Sport is currently employing the worst group of analysts going, and...

Julian Ward: A Window Of Uncertainty

I would be surprised if any Liverpool player had ever been labeled as for sale whilst under the watch of Jürgen Klopp. Often times a player likely to leave will be lauded for their importance, just prior to their sale. With a strong start to this summer transfer window, there are now more questions...

12 Month Wait? | Liverpool’s quest for a central midfielder…

Once you read this wait 24 hours. I’d bet cold hard cash another discussion or thread exists about Liverpool, Jude Bellingham or something midfield related. The popular line that the club are briefing local journos is that ‘we’ll wait till 2023 before looking at midfield re-enforcements. A social media meltdown aside, that task if...

Bookies back Liverpool to battle Man City for Premier League title yet again

The 2022/23 Premier League season is just weeks away and Liverpool are once again expected to be Manchester City’s closest contender for the title. We’ve gone head-to-head with City in recent years and there is no reason to think it won’t be another two-horse race this season.  The current Liverpool and City teams are two...

A Darwin Evolution

This week Darwin Núñez signed as a Liverpool player, in a deal that could eventually reach £85m. The guaranteed outlay is around the £63m mark (£20m upfront), and if the full fee is to be paid to Benfica, then that would be a mark of extreme success by the player. The cost is of...

Attacking Through the Middle

Throughout nearly the entirety of Liverpool’s recent domestic and European campaign, Jürgen Klopp’s team was faced with the low-block reality presented by opposition sides. I’ve written before about how elite sides such as Liverpool and Manchester City need to adapt their style of play in order to combat the all too common low-block. Weaker...

Mentality Monsters

Despite ending the footballing season on a very low note, the celebrated parade at least brought about some solace and joy for both fans and clubmen. The energy and optimism that went into last season was emphatic, and to walk away with the League & FA Cup must be seen as a good return....

Observations: Liverpool lose the Champions League Final

I'm sure we all feel pretty terrible right now. Liverpool have been defeated in the Champions League Final 1-0 by Real Madrid. It was a good performance by the Reds, but a monumental game from Thibaut Courtois kept the many shots at bay, and so all it took was one chance from Vinicius Junior...

Au Revoir To The Three Musketeers

The Three Musketeers are notoriously a trio of sword wielding heroes, who use their different personas to swashbuckle themselves to victory. The idea is that their mantra of ‘all for one, and one for all’, is enough to see them overcome the most insurmountable of odds. This Sunday in France could well be a...

Rage Against The Machine

Revenge is a dish best served cold, supposedly. Well this Saturday evening represents an opportunity for this Liverpool side to take out their obvious frustrations on Real Madrid, who await them in this season’s Champions League Final. The last final meeting was devastating, and memories clearly still linger with key members of the Reds'...
