Milner

Ex City and Villa all rounder James Milner arrived at Anfield bearing no outstanding pressure on his shoulders, definitely not as much as the likes of Benteke, Lallana etc.. A free transfer from a Man.City team who's fan-base were left raging at the prospect of 'Boring James Milner' departing. What could possibly go wrong? His wage bill. £120,000...

To Infinity and Beyond… I feel I’ve let our captain down.  His story is similar to that of Woody in Toy Story.  The arrival of Buzz Lightyear, coupled with an injury-ravaged campaign has meant that Jordan Henderson has been pushed to the back of my mind.   In this case, our Buzz Lightyear may well be...

I have spent the whole of James Milner’s long and illustrious career trying to decide how good he is at football. He has forever baffled me. He was tipped as England’s new wonderkid when he burst onto the scene for Leeds United back in the early 2000s, but barring a few glimpses of class, I...

Less than a month ago, Liverpool had beaten Borussia Dortmund at Anfield in one of the most spectacular games in recent memory. Subsequently, Liverpool became favourites to win the Europa League and secure a Champions League spot, under the guidance of Jürgen Klopp. The following two league victories, against Bournemouth and Everton, led many to...

The blame game is funny. Liverpool lose and it's almost like some fans go out of their way to criticise a player they dislike even if their only at 10% fault for the goal that lost the Reds the match. Narrow minded doesn't do it justice. Like a bull locked on to a red...

There cannot be too many better feelings than the one after Liverpool have just beaten Everton. Tonight, it was not just a win. It was a sound thrashing of an abject opposition as the Reds were rampant in taking home the bragging rights from the derby and some more. Here is how I thought each...

What the F*ck was that?! Not the most eloquent of headings, I know, but it's how I feel.  I doubt I’m alone. What happened at Anfield last night?  It was fairytale stuff, with the Hollywood finish.  It was the kind of scenario I would have joked about with friends before the game.  Needing to win 4-3,...

Sometimes being wrong is a beautiful thing. I have an admission to make. I’ve been a bit of a tit. I allowed myself to become a judgemental, hypercritical and altogether hard-to-please bastard of previously unseen proportions. I don’t know what it is about this season, but it definitely brought out the worst in me at...

Sandwiched in between two legs of the Europa League quarterfinal against Borussia Dortmund, Stoke City's visit to Anfield could have provided multiple headaches for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. Instead, it was a dominant display from the Reds, as they turned on the style in a 4-1 defeat of the Potters. Apart from getting the win,...

Liverpool welcome Stoke City to Anfield on Sunday afternoon, hoping to gain three points to close the gap on the top four. A win would push them above Stoke in the table, and could see them rise to 7th. Jurgen Klopp faced his old club on Thursday night as Liverpool came away with a 1-1...
