Spirit of Shankly Slams LFC for Playing Controversial Anthem

Anfield resounded with boos as 'God Save the King' was played, prompting Spirit of Shankly, the Liverpool FC supporters union, to criticise the club's decision to air the national anthem. Despite conceding that the club faced a nearly impossible dilemma, the union believes Liverpool FC should have opted against playing the anthem. Spirit of Shankly...

Lessons Learned: Brentford

There’ll be typical non-headlines about the booing at Anfield but all that mattered was a sixth win on the trot to keep the pressure on. Champions League qualification looks a forlorn hope, but Liverpool are finishing the season strongly and that’s important for a number of reasons. There were the familiar faces doing the...

Liverpool 1 – 0 Fulham – The Post-Mortem 

This was the return fixture after the Reds drew 2-2 on the opening day of the season. That game at Craven Cottage appeared to open the eyes of all our enemies that our lack of physicality and tired bodies were there to be gotten at. As we approach the end of our rather dismal...

Lessons Learned: Fulham

Well it wasn’t the prettiest but a win and a clean sheet shouldn’t be scoffed at. Liverpool have now won five league games on the bounce and their longest unbeaten run (seven games) since the end of last season.

Liverpool v Fulham – PL Preview

This Wednesday evening sees the Reds welcome Fulham to Anfield, as part of their ultra busy few weeks of the Premier League schedule.

Salah-Diaz-Gakpo: OG Front Three Version 2.0?

When the sun does formally set on Bobby Firmino’s reign as our number nine, only Mo Salah will remain at Anfield from the OG front three under Jurgen Klopp. With recent chat around Darwin Nunez’s lack of minutes and Diogo Jota’s return to form including his winner on Sunday, the talk around our forwards...

Looking deeper into the feud between Jurgen Klopp and Paul Tierney

Liverpool's 4-3 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday was filled with passion and tension both and off the pitch, but also proved to be the tipping point between Reds boss Jurgen Klopp and Manchester-born Premier League referee, Paul Tierney. Speaking after the game, Klopp claimed: "We have our history with Mr. Tierney, I really don't know...

Liverpool 4 Tottenham 3 – The Post-Mortem 

This was the same match-up that contested the Champions League final in 2019, where one ultra-organised and ruthless team was able to overcome a team built upon growth, desire, and team spirit. That contest became a chess match that Liverpool were able to game-manage with relative ease, absolute professionalism, and control in abundance. The...
