Oddities and Aggression Reignite Liverpool's Season
From its opening shots back in Summer 2015, this season has been one of the most unpredictable ever seen. Even now, as we roll through March, nothing is certain.
Oh, unless you’re a Villa fan that is.
As a supporter I’ve never experienced anything like it. I mean we’ve all seen blips in the usually predictable landscape over the years. I remember Norwich City having a spell in the sun, Blackburn Rovers as champions, Newcastle United and their Keegan influenced …
Liverpool - Hold Your Head Up High
It’s not a great time to be a Liverpool supporter right now. The league campaign – what, for many, gives the season it’s real wings – is in danger of spiralling into a damage limitation exercise. It can be grim watching the Reds; a chronic lack of pace, a blunt object seemingly incapable of finding the net and giving us goals, the currency of joy and a huge reason we go to a game. It’s grim, make no mistake. January …
Lucas vs Norwich - Why a DM is the More Important Transfer Target
11:00 p.m. GMT, 1 February is just around the corner, and little transfer business has been done by Liverpool this year. Marko Grujic is bought and loaned back to Red Star Belgrade while Steven Caulker, believed to be a centre-back while actually, secretly being a centre forward, is loaned in from QPR. Yes, yes, the Alex Texiera saga rages on – some say he’s coming, others that he’s not, and still others with more twisted, vague theories about the issue.

Wild Celebration and Wembley Qualification...
But let's not get carried away!
Just four days after the dramatic stoppage-time victory at Carrow Road, Liverpool qualified for the Capital One Cup final on Tuesday night thanks to the perhaps unexpected heroics of Simon Mignolet in the penalty shoot-out. Not only are we on our way to ‘Anfield South’ once more, but those three points against Norwich were crucial in the pursuit of a top four finish, especially after the ‘Old Enemy’ left Merseyside with the spoils in …
Liverpool's January: Tricky Away Games Kick-Off New Year
With Liverpool finally able to put a fairly disappointing 2015 behind them, we're heading into a new year that's full of promise for Jürgen Klopp's Reds.
With a new manager, a new style, and maybe even some new signings (if you believe the rumours), everything's in place for a fantastic start to 2015. Liverpool's January admittedly contains some tricky looking fixtures, but there's the excitement of a cup semi final, and the chance to face a wobbling Manchester United. With …
Liverpool v Norwich Preview | Predicted Line-Ups & Stats
This is a great time for either team to be playing the other. For Liverpool, the weekend brings a struggling-to-survive, newly-promoted Norwich that hasn’t quite got their feet off the ground. The Canaries have taken down Sunderland and Bournemouth, but neither team is outside the realm of relegation fodder. The Reds will feel more at ease going into this match, but so too will Norwich. If ever there was a time to play Liverpool, it would be now: big losses …
Divock Origi - It's Time To Give Him A Chance
Five Games in to the season and there are already calls for Rodgers head. 3 goals from 5 games is poor, however when you see that Liverpool have scored 2 or more goals in only 6 league games since January 2015, there is a deeper problem. The lack of creativity and general naivety from the manager is part of the reason for the poor form and fans want a change. The change many fans want is a new manager, however …
A Henderson-sized gap: How we've fared without him | Stats
A soul-destroying week has brought our title hopes down from cloud nine to only a slight chance of glory. The two results against Chelsea and Crystal Palace have gifted Manchester City an unbelievable chance of regaining the Premier League title - and even though we'll be cheering on Villa and West Ham like they're our own, it's going to need a miracle to get the trophy back to Anfield. Then again, we know all about them don't we?
You could …
