Liverpool weren’t reliant on a wonder goal this week but yet again it was an underwhelming performance in which the Reds were the victors coming out with a 1-0 win against newly promoted Bournemouth. It wasn’t one for the neutrals to appreciate but Liverpool got the job done and now have six points from six. […]
Against Stoke, we concentrated on how Liverpool played in possession. Here again, for different reasons, we will do the same, focusing less on the execution of Liverpool’s attacking game plan and more on the implementation of their shape when on the offensive. Line up Rodgers opted for the same team that had started against Stoke. At […]
Liverpool might well have been on the better side of Raheem Sterling’s £49 million move to Manchester City but the England forward’s previous club, Queen’s Park Rangers, were the recipients of a sizeable chunk of that fee and Brendan Rodgers has already reinvested the remainder, and more. Nathaniel Clyne, Roberto Firmino and Christian Benteke, for […]
So another season has arrived. TV reports, newspaper interviews, online exclusives and positivity from all, looking forward to the new season. How we’ve missed it all and are so happy to having the Premier League back in our lives. A few surprise results from the big teams on Saturday and on Sunday lunchtime before the […]

With the season opener getting closer and many transfers completed already it’s now when fans and journalists start looking at how the team may line up. Obviously injuries could play a part and new signings could happen but generally 99% of the players here now will be those in contention for a start against Stoke. […]
The summer break often has mystical powers when it comes to football fans. Any disappointments from the previous season become fading memories and the positives can be somewhat embellished; a few new signings and the magical optimism returns. The excitement builds as your team travels to the four corners of the world to play either […]
Liverpool goals – Origi 72′, Coutinho 77′ There are no player ratings as it’s pre-season, but here’s a look at the tactics and player performances from Liverpool’s pre-season game against HJK Helsinki. All pre-season caveats apply. Simon Mignolet Didn’t have much to do. Came out for a corner early on and got nowhere near it. Made […]
Much has been made this summer about Liverpool buying in bulk again. Many fans believe we now have the numbers to compete in the many competitions we’ll be involved in this coming season.
