"I'm looking forward to the new season with Bayern."
- Mario Gotze, 23/05/2016
Liverpool aren't allowed nice things. Their potentially quixotic end to the season now a distant memory as Mario Gotze seemed to end all the rumours by committing his future, short-term at least, to current club Bayern. This news comes less than a week...
In 2013/14, Luis Suarez made 1.1 tackles per game.
In 2015/16, Roberto Firmino has made 2 tackles per game.
Let’s not dilly-dally, nor wander aimlessly around the point. It’s right there, staring at you in the face, the full, gargantuan influence that Roberto Firmino had had on this Liverpool team, even in a season which most...
The transfer window, and the weeks leading up to it, is football fans' equivalent of Christmas as a child. Mystique surrounds the bi-yearly event. The hours spent talking about players you'd sign for your club becomes relevant. Reassurance, vindication and acknowledgement is up for grabs, if Liverpool sign a player you've put a case...
It was a time of conflict, of separation and fissures growing ever fractured by the day. If ever there were an embodiment of how a sinking ship can simply initiate a cold depression, it was Liverpool under Brendan Rodgers.
Steven Gerrard was a club legend. Yet even his influence, his special goals, the undying embers...
Over the last 6 or 7 years at Liverpool, there has never really been an idea of where the club is headed. Whether any kind of success we make could be sustained and certainly if we could keep hold of our top talents. But now as we arrive at the end of the 2015/16...

The anticipation that seems beyond its boiling point before the game, suddenly deflates like a balloon within twelve minutes of Dortmund’s blitzkrieg. 2-0 down, journalists and pundits alike believe it to be game over.
Yet there’s something there. Something lurks in the crowd, the buzz and feeling that...
"Liverpool don't need Götze, they've already got too many attacking midfielders"
This comment isn't just exclusive to fans of the opposition, sadly, but actual Liverpool supporters. Yes you're reading this correctly, there are Reds fans that believe Liverpool, a Europa League team as things stand, don't need Germany's World Cup winning hero Mario Götze because they've...
Who wouldn't be proud of that headline?
Paul Joyce and Tony Barrett had Liverpool fans a euphoric mess on Monday evening by stating Bayern Munich's Mario Gotze wants to link up with Reds manager Jurgen Klopp once again. If Liverpool were to sign the World Cup winner it would be considered a coup for the...
With the looming figure of deadline day hovering beyond the next horizon, and Sky’s ever-present coverage seemingly set to focus on whether Liverpool will be successful in their pursuit of an attacker, specifically of Shakhtar’s devastating little Brazilian, questions are abound. Will Liverpool re-enter negotiations? Will Shakhtar be convinced into selling their prize asset?...
Early last week German tabloids started to report that Bayern Munich weren't in contract negotiations with Mario Gotze to have him commit his future to the club. That's not to say he won't be offered a new contract but by all accounts Bayern tend to get their contract sorted before Christmas. With less than...
