The most disappointing thing about not being active on social media is the fact that all of my hideous puns stay in my own battered brain pan, torturing me with their awfulness. In times past, I’d simply spew these abominations onto my Twitter timeline and I was free of them – a problem shared is […]
It was by no means a New Year’s Eve firework as so many had hoped for, but Liverpool ended the calendar year with a 1-0 win over Manchester City at Anfield. The media narrative suggests the away side were terrible but how much of that was down to Liverpool being effective at nullifying Guardiola’s men? […]
And so the time is upon us once again. As December draws to a close, the sense of excitement and anticipation increases with the prospect of the of the January transfer window opening once more. Twitter is abuzz as the rumour mill goes into overdrive, irritating clickbait articles spread like a common cold and everyone […]
The last five league matches provide something of a snapshot of the season so far for Liverpool. There has been the good, 4-1 against Stoke 1-0 against Everton and 3-0 against Middlesbrough, the bad, a draw against West Ham and the downright ugly as Bournemouth came out with a 4-3 win. Inconsistent form interspersed with […]
It’s not a sentence Liverpool fans would have expected to hear this season for various reasons but they did after that emphatic 4-1 win against Stoke. The majority of this squad are the same players labelled as bottlers over the past two seasons but with the pressure on they showed an almost alien resilience. It […]
It’s cliche I know but a year in football is a long time. If you compared December 2015 and December 2016 they’re almost unrecognisable. After the Boxing Day fixtures in 2015 Liverpool were in 8th position with 27 points and a -1 goal difference. Watford and Crystal Palace where both ahead of the Reds and Everton […]
How good is it being a Liverpool fan right now? Klopp’s men sit second in the league after the dramatic late win in the derby. We’re the top scorers in the Premier League with 41 goals but what’s even more impressive is how we have continued to impress despite some noticeable absentees. Daniel Sturridge, Joel Matip, Emre […]
Virgil van Dijk Perhaps the most obvious choice; given Liverpool’s affinity with buying Southampton players as of late; but Virgil van Dijk may well be the one key Southampton player Liverpool actually spend money wisely on. Of course, Sadio Mane and Nathanial Clyne were shrewd, if not slightly over-priced; but van Dijk has the potential […]
Imagine in the summer, before the fixture schedule was released, someone told you we would go to Goodison Park just six days before Christmas and win 1-0 thanks to a scrappy goal in added-time. Obvious response would have been “Oh yeah, if Carlsberg did football matches”  sort of one, followed swiftly by a “but imagine the Everton […]
Liverpool play their final fixture before Christmas on Monday, and it’s only the small matter of an away trip to Everton. Indeed, the first Merseyside Derby of the season again falls away from Anfield, whilst there’s also the intriguing tactical battle sure to come from Ronald Koeman and Jürgen Klopp’s first face off in this […]
