Replacing Luis Suarez, like-for-like, is impossible. The Uruguayan brought an array of unique qualities, and equally unique flaws, which can’t be replenished by the simple act of buying another footballer.
Suarez will leave a void when it comes to many aspects of the Liverpool experience, including the tactical set-up, and what follows is an assessment of...
Imagine the scene.
It’s the first day of pre-season. There’s damp in the air at Melwood but Brendan and the staff are in good spirits.
Brendan was late for once, he had spent a good hour in front of the mirror looking at his new red training top.
‘Tight fitting’ he murmured. ‘Nice!’
Still admiring himself, he was...
From his 79th minute substitute introduction against Stoke on Feb 2nd 2011, until he disappeared down the Anfield tunnel after the players' end of season  lap of honour less than two months ago, Luis Suarez was central to the renaissance of Liverpool Football Club.
His scruffy debut goal was greeted with joy from those at Anfield that...
It's been a while since I felt particularly moved to write a piece on the re-emergence from near extinction of LFC. So many others were doing it, some good, some bad some obvious or indifferent that yet another to add to the heap seemed pointless, even gratuitous - we had also just lost Kenny...

Mamadou Sakho – The only Liverpool player still in the tournament aside from Simon Mignolet. Sakho has looked solid all tournament and it’s a testament to his ability that the only two goals France have conceded so far...
Remember Norwich at Anfield in 2013, a cold dreary day, in a match that was almost called off due to heavy snow.
Once more the Canaries came to Liverpool FC in the hope they’d avoid a thrashing. Liverpool’s form hadn’t been great, still fighting on in the Europa league and the FA cup, trying to...
The family man, the player, the genius, the maestro, the hero. The scared little boy, the street-fighter, the biter, the cannibal, the liability, the villain. Choose any of these nouns to label Liverpool's number seven (Uruguay's number nine) and you may think you are on the right track, however even if you choose all...

Luis Suarez. Husband. Father. Football genius.
It was always going to be one of those windows. There was always going to be speculation. When you have a player a good as Luis, gossip never sleeps.
The reality is, nobody, barring a close inner circle truly knows the details. But in transfer windows, reality, quite literally, goes...
In this article I will analyse the complicated world of football contracts, in particular focusing on release clauses, buy-out clauses and the difference between the two.
Less than a year ago Liverpool fans were subjected to one the most farcical transfer sagas in recent years. Like football’s equivalent of the Stark’s, Marca issued their monotonous...
