“He’s big and he’s fucking hard.”
He was our Captain. He was our Leader. He was our “Never-Miss-Set-Piece-Taker.” Now, he is our biggest regret.
When Gerrard left for LA Galaxy, I was pleased. I was excited to see a new team, a new Captain, going in a new direction.
Maybe the disappointment of the 14/15 season was...
Since the departure of Luis Suarez in the summer of 2014, only one man has claimed the title of Liverpool superstar: Philippe Coutinho. The little Brazilian has twisted, turned, and volleyed his way into the hearts of Kopites since his arrival on Merseyside in January of 2013. His quick pace, creativity, and laser-like accuracy...
If you’re a Liverpool fan and unfamiliar with Jürgen Klopp and you took the twitter narratives as gospel, then it’s fair to suggest you are under the false illusion that Klopp will win us the league and by the end of the season we’ll be playing in Dortmund yellow circa 2010 because we’re definitely...
Sturridge: 42 goals in 68 games.
It’s a phenomenal record that outranks some of the most prolific and proficient strikers to ever spearhead a Liverpool attack.
However, 73 games in which Daniel Sturridge was sat, frustratingly, on the sidelines, not simply due to one key weakness in his frame either. Suffering from two ankle injuries, one...
“Will you always ask the players about the manager? If Lucas thinks I’m an idiot, he’s not going to be able to say here! Why are you asking self-answering questions?”

Teams that are “used to winning” don’t always win; and a crisis begins where people start losing faith in their “special club", doubting they could ever win anything again.
After the...
"I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection."
"Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar."
Sigmund Freud, the only man whose slips are more famous than Gerrard's
When noted head-shrinker, Sigismund Schlomo Freud, developed his theory of treating psychopathology by engaging in dialogue with his patients, the cocaine...
The past week has seen one of the most meteoric rises in optimism and excitement within the Liverpool FC community in recent memory. The source of this is obviously the appointment of charismatic German Jürgen Klopp, and a very quick glance at my Twitter feed will prove that I’ve been as swept along with...
“On my world, it means Hope.” – Superman
Despite being plagued with injuries, only three days of training and the international break, Klopp, Buvac and Krawietz have already succeeded in abating what could only be described as a crisis in confidence.
For a team that hadn’t lost since the first match of the season, Tottenham looked...
A lot has been written over the past week or so about what Jurgen Klopp brings to Liverpool and how he compares to the recently departed, not from this Earth, Brendan Rodgers. Their styles have been looked at and analysed, lots of theories have been discussed about how the German messiah may evolve Liverpool...
