Top Four Is On For Liverpool, People

For those of you who took the time to click on an article so shamelessly titled in such an abhorrent manner, fear not: I am not deluded. Though many have mused that very possibility, and while there have been times when that may have been the case, this is not one of those times....

No Emre, No Party

It's Sunday the 28th February, Liverpool's have just battled back to play extra time against Manchester City in the League Cup Final, then face the nerve wrecking agony of Penalties. The first player to step up is Emre Can. He looks calm and composed, with no signs of fatigue or tiredness. Instead of going...

The League Cup Final – After the Dust has Settled

There’s little more painful in sport than the Cup Final defeat. As Liverpool fans we’ve seen both sides of the coin. Jubilation and despair. Unfortunately, on Sunday at Wembley, it was despair. Penalties, we don’t lose them do we? And after Fernandinho hit the post with his first I foolishly thought we had our name on...

Kolo Touré Cult Hero

Kolo, Kolo Kolo, Kolo Kolo, Kolo Kolo Touré, who can forget the whole Liverpool team singing and dancing to this on an escalator in Dubai at the end of last season. Seeing the players singing, smiling and dancing while showing their appreciation for Touré shows how much of a cult hero Kolo Touré has...

Quick Fix Klopp

Almost eleven, long weeks have passed (depending on when you are reading this) since the German messiah took over the helm at Liverpool Football Club. The answer to all our problems, the quick fix for Brendan Rodgers' mess and the saviour of Anfield. It all began so well. Performances rose quite a few notches...

Time to go two up-top for Liverpool?

The blueprint for Brendan Rodgers' successful Liverpool side in 2013/14 is being used by a few teams that are surprising the Premier League this season. Two mobile strikers who combine pace and power. It's not a revelation of course, the two man strike force is something we're accustomed to seeing in the Premier League. However...

Liverpool’s Boom-Bust Seasons Need To Stop Under Klopp

4th. 2nd. 7th. 6th. 8th. 7th. 2nd. 6th. In the last 8 years, no other club in England has yo-yoed quite like Liverpool from the verges of greatness to the verges of mediocrity. Each league season tells their own story, and this context must be fully appreciated in each situation. But clearly a pattern has...

Home vs away form? A real concern or an imaginary problem

On Saturday, Jürgen Klopp’s blitzkrieg offence claimed its latest high-profile away victim in Manchester City. After battering an already-broken Chelsea 3-1 a few weeks back, Liverpool could approach the far more difficult proposition of an Etihad away day with renewed hope, a hope that was certainly not misplaced. By the end of the game, City’s...

Man City Smashed – The Season Starts Now…

Well that was bloody marvellous wasn’t it? Going to the Etihad this time around, given Chelsea’s continual struggles, was, on paper at least, the toughest assignment the Reds would have in the league this season. The fact that just after the half hour Jürgen’s boys found themselves 3-0 up, coasting, and seemingly able to...

Bringing The Belief Back

"After the goal on 82 minutes, with 12 minutes to go, I saw many people leaving the stadium. I felt pretty alone in this moment." Jurgen Klopp's words after Liverpool lost to Crystal Palace just before the international break. We are now just over six weeks into his reign as Liverpool manager and how we have...
