Liverpool’s Transfer Committee Shows Patience is Necessary

Liverpool have this reputation in the transfer market for being grossly negligent in their recruitment of players. Make no bones about it, Liverpool have spent recklessly in the past and signed some average players for extortionate fees. There's no denying that and there's no escaping it. As supporters of the club it's our cross to...

Klopp’s first pre-season is vital to a good League start

Liverpool's preseason preparations under Klopp will be a stark contrast to the ones experienced under Brendan Rodgers. The 2015/16 preseason preparations felt a little too nice. It's all about conditioning for the season ahead and there's a reason Klopp was reportedly disappointed with squads fitness levels when he took over in October. Fans expecting to...

Sadio Mane – The man to balance the Liverpool attack

Sadio Mane has been the topic of much debate amongst Liverpool fans since news that the Reds were yet again set to raid Southampton became public knowledge. For all the positives surrounding the player and what he'd offer to the side fans, myself included, couldn't overlook two things; he's a Southampton player and the...

DoF Fantasy Series Part 4: Premier League Restricted

We’ve all been screaming, sighing, boiling, enraged, agonized, infuriated, and outraged at the thought of buying Premier League proven players rather than vying for the rising talents of Europe, and rightly so, because there’s not such thing as Premier League proven players when statistically there’s been no difference between the performance of a player...

Expect Second-Season Magic From Roberto Firmino

Luis Suarez. Thierry Henry. Dennis Bergkamp. Didier Drogba. What do these illustrious names all have in common? They all struggled to set the world alight in their first season in the Premier League, among endless other truly brilliant footballers. Given the impatient nature of the modern football supporter, they were written off as a “waste of...

Sadio Mane: Already Labelled

Okay. I’ve almost succumbed to the fact that we’re going in for another Southampton player in Sadio Mane. Which would make him the fifth player Liverpool has signed from the south west club in 3 years, costing us another hefty £30m, which would coincidentally make him Liverpool Football Club’s third most expensive signing, with Roberto...

Liverpool’s Legacy Needs New Paint

Legacy. Heritage. History. For an enterprise that had reached the zenith of excellence, conquering all more than once, yesteryear glories can be very heavy on its shoulders. It is almost suffocating for the same enterprise to rise above cold dark times. The sense of entitlement endeared through our legacy, our heritage, our history, can only...

Nathaniel Clyne – Liverpool’s Most Underated Player?

There's a strange narrative surrounding Nathaniel Clyne, a divide amongst Liverpool supporters. Some argue he's the finest right-back in the country, others doubt his contribution and want him to be replaced. For a player of such stability and consistency it amazes me that he draws such negative attention. So I thought best to explore...

Trust Klopp to Sign the Right Players

We're all bad liars. No matter how much we say "we trust Klopp" as things stand we don't, not wholeheartedly anyway, and repeating it won't make it any more truthful. The sad thing is it's through no fault of his own. The enigmatic German hasn't even had a summer transfer window in charge of Liverpool...

Being Insanely Sane In This Transfer Window

Ever since the arrival of Loris Karius, Liverpool social media has been The Joker, a narcissistic person who just strives on causing pain and fear into everyone. For a month now, Liverpool Football Club has transformed itself into a mime that just went dark, and not one person has a clue on which player...
