Robbie Fowler: God Amongst Men

According to one of its definitions on www.dictionary.com, a God is: ‘One of several deities, especially a male deity, presiding over some portion of worldly affairs.’ – A worldy affair, for example, of bringing joy the world over. A deity, I didn’t know, is defined as: ‘Divine character or nature, especially that of the Supreme Being.’  -...

Liverpool In Transition… Again

It seems to be the constant posture Liverpool Football Club has found itself in since circa 1992.  We are always “in transition”, always going through changes, always waiting for players to be bedded in, always looking for the deadwood to be shipped out. After our 2013/14 season, where we so nearly brought the title home,...

Captaincy Candidates – Part One: Jordan Henderson

For 12 years, the presence of Steven Gerrard ensured that, of all the problems that Liverpool faced, finding a captain was never an issue. Add to that the presence of stalwarts like Jamie Carragher, Sami Hyypia and Xabi Alonso, and it is not difficult to understand why leadership was never an issue. But when Gerrard...

It’s a Bird… It’s a Plane… No! It’s Super Can

Emre Can put in a man of the match performance under the lights of Old Trafford on Thursday night and in doing so cemented his place in the hearts and minds of the Liverpool faithful. Our very own Turkish delight dominated the midfield with a brilliant performance entrenched with power, pace and technical quality...

Liverpool v Dortmund: A Dream Draw

It was written in the stars, with an almost certain inevitability to it, that Liverpool and Borussia Dortmund would be drawn together in the Europa League quarter-finals. For Jürgen Klopp and everyone associated with Dortmund it is a very emotional tie; you only have to look back at his final game at the Westfalenstadion...

All Aboard The Lovren Bandwagon

Hands up if you were one of the fans who jumped feet first on to the "Lovren is shit" bandwagon? Hands up if you are one of the fans who would be at the front of the bandwagon organising the Lovren is shit chorus? Who could blame you right? For nearly eighteen months of...

Liverpool’s Attack Back On Track

The general consensus is that Liverpool need to sign another striker this summer. A guaranteed goal-getter to get the pulses racing inside Anfield and leave opposition defences quaking with fear. However, the Reds currently have four international strikers fully fit for the first time this season and the upturn in goalscoring form makes for good...

The LFC turnaround under Klopp – Stoppage time Victories

Jurgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool and in his very first press conference he stated he wanted to turn 'doubters into believers'. The German spoke from the heart much like he always does and even though this phrase was aimed towards the fans who, towards the latter period of Rodgers' reign had turned cynical to...

When Two Tribes Go To War…

When the Reds set off on their latest European campaign six months ago it’s fair to say no one was overly inspired by a trip to the south-western France. Let’s be honest, the early stages of the Europa league with its Thursday/Sunday grind doesn’t exactly get the pulse racing in the autumn. There’s the...

A Tactical Look at Emre Can Against Crystal Palace

If you were to ask Liverpool fans for a review of Emre Can's season the answers would vary from uninspired and lacklustre to commanding and captain-in-waiting. This isn't because Emre Can has been inconsistent, make no mistake about it his performances haven't been consistently good, but more so to do with the fact half...
