Midfield
Emre Can arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2014, and the then 20-year-old German was seen an exciting young prospect with the potential to become one of the top midfielders in Europe. Can’s impressive performances at Bayer Leverkusen had alerted his old club Bayern Munich, where he’d spent four years as a youth player. […]
The season approaches it’s finale and it couldn’t come any sooner for Liverpool fans as their season has been a disappointment. They’ve witnessed a regression in their beloved Liverpool side from the previous season which raised many hopes. However, it’s that time of year again where Liverpool Football Club will be linked to the world and their wife but […]
False starts. Many could argue Liverpool had a false start to this season but there was nothing false about Coutinho’s performance as a false 9 against Newcastle and that can only be a positive for Brendan Rodgers moving forward. Liverpool showed some arrogance and confidence in their win against Newcastle, especially in the first half. […]
The Oxford dictionary gives the definition of a leader as: The person who leads or commands a group, organisation, or country. Now, for the first time in what seems like an eternity, Liverpool Football Club needs a new leader. With Steven Gerrard leaving this summer all eyes will firmly be on manager Brendan Rodgers when it comes […]
There’s a great saying that sums up Javier Mascherano: “It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, but the size of the fight in the dog that counts”. This sentence really sums the Argentine warrior up because at 5ft and 8.5 inches tall, he isn’t your archetypal defensive midfield powerhouse a la Chelsea […]
Arriving at Liverpool Football Club in 2007 on the back of an award winning season at Brazilian side Grêmio, the box-to-box midfielder whose forward runs were as footloose as his shoulder-length hair, was signed by Rafa Bentiez to compliment an already impressive midfield contingent. Lucas Leiva was the second Brazilian to play for Liverpool, after […]
What a player. Didi Hamann was a world-class defensive midfielder. Imagine if we could select him for Liverpool now? He’d slot straight into Lucas’ position and provide that all-important protection for the back three – in turn, providing all the ammunition to go forward in attack. The current Liverpool side have all the firepower to attack […]
The Liverpool attack, light the fuse. “Yo back up now and give a brother room, the fuse is lit and I’m about to go boom. Mercy mercy mercy me, but on the stage pitch I’m free” The current season has left myself and many fans feeling frustrated. A poor start left us playing catch up […]
I think it’s fair to say that throughout his time at LFC, Philippe Coutinho hasn’t been recognised as a world class player. Don’t get me wrong, he has been a crucial first team player for Liverpool, but he hasn’t really caught the eye of many fans of the club. This may have been because it […]
It was truly an exceptional captain’s performance from Jordan Henderson against Burnley. With one rocket goal, an assist and a 92% passing accuracy, Henderson left little in doubt that leadership suits him. And the question of the captaincy is a hot topic. ‘Captain Fantastic’ is departing and many have questioned how much of Liverpool’s soul […]
