When you look at Liverpool’s most successful teams of the 21st century, they all had one thing in common: a winning mentality.
They often never knew when they were beaten, and they would overcome moments of adversity thanks to sheer quality and an outstanding team spirit.
Both Gerard Houllier’s treble-winning side and Rafa Benitez’s team of...
Liverpool host Leicester City in their first home game of the 2016-17 season on Saturday evening, as the newly renovated Main Stand makes it's first appearance to the nation.
There'll be 54,000 packed inside Anfield in what's expected to be a full house, the Reds entertaining the champions in front of the biggest home crowd...
Rome was not built in a day. Any long-standing success is, usually, the product of a carefully planned and executed strategy and, unfortunately for some, the phrase rings true in the world of football. Liverpool Football Club's reputation alongside other European giants is not a result of recent results, it is the deserved product...
The last few months have been nothing short of a roller coaster ride for Liverpool’s #3, Mamadou Sakho.
Being accused (falsely) for taking an illegal substance, subsequently missing out on very important matches for Liverpool, to being acquitted of those charges a a few months later. Then he picked up an injury, got sent home...
Three games into the new Premier League campaign, Liverpool have conceded six goals, whilst scoring just five. Experiments with players operating in new positions, no clear preferred back five, or defined midfield protection, result understandably in questions being asked, even at this early stage. The mistakes and uncertainty will fail to alleviate fans fears,...
Modern football, its chairmen, managers and supporters alike, is obsessed with the quick fix. Typified by the wanton spending of Premier League- which often seems panicked and ill-advised- clubs in this summer’s transfer window, clubs want success and they are prepared to acquire it by means of chequebook, rather than honing the skills of...
Who remembers the City game last season?
Not the League Cup final or the 4-1 massacre at the Etihad but the home game. If you’re struggling it was the game where Jon Flanagan kicked Raheem Sterling in the air in the opening minutes and his captain hissed ‘Yes’ at him while exhibiting a Tim Henman...
When you do someone an almighty favour and get very little thanks for it, it’s one of the most frustrating things you can encounter in day-to-day life.
Without proclaiming him to be bigger than Liverpool Football Club - he most certainly isn’t - part of Jurgen Klopp must be feeling a little like that currently.
Well,...
Georginio Wijnaldum was signed from a relegated Newcastle United this summer in a transfer that was, to most, unexpected. The Netherlands international, who signed for Newcastle only last summer from Eredevisie outfit PSV, carried with him a reputation for drifting in and out of games a long with a price tag exceeding the 20...
I know many will be thinking after reading that title.
"You cynical bastard. The transfer window has only just shut and you're already putting a negative spin on it. Passing judgement before Klopp's even had the chance to field his strongest XI".
And to those who are thinking that - you're probably right. It may be...
