Why Jürgen Klopp is Owed an Apology

The 2017/18 season has been one of the most memorable campaigns in years. Even the 2013/14 league campaign was given a run for its money as the most entertaining season in this millennium as Liverpool romped their way not just across England, but also Europe, putting teams to the sword with a free-flowing, all-smiling,...

To Pope or Not To Pope, That Is The Question

A knock to the head from Sergio Ramos saw Loris Karius suffer a concussion in the Champions League final, leading to two costly errors in between the sticks and ending any hopes of Liverpool taking home No.6. Thus, any goalkeeper links must be taken with a pinch of salt; Karius' errors has fuelled the...

Liverpool’s Summer Moves a Real Statement of Intent

Whilst the World Cup rumbles on in the background, like me you probably can't wait until it's over to see what moves the club makes, in what will remain of the transfer window. Don't get me wrong I enjoy the World Cup, but it's still the starter before the main course that is the...

It’s a well-balanced formation that suits England very well. The back three is shielded...

Why Divock Origi still has a Part to Play

Indeed, the news arrived...

Lovren is Part of the Solution
