Who is Liverpool FC Target Sardar Azmoun?
I spoke with David Sansun, the man behind @RubinKazanUK, to find out more about Sardar Azmoun because let's be honest, unless you watch Russian football you're going to be going in blind here and Youtube just lies to you.
What are Azmoun's strengths? Manuel Veth compared him to Karl-Heinz Riedle which was a bit of a throw back. Are there any modern day players he’s similar to? Cough*Lewandowski*Cough
A: He honestly does have a bit of everything to his game. …
Relive Liverpool's route to the Europa League Final
Liverpool 0-1 Grazer AK – 28th September, 2000.
Liverpool 0-0 Rapid Bucharest – 24th August, 2004.
Remember them? Nope, me neither.
Rarely do European campaigns begin with barnstorming victories and scintillating football. The two aforementioned results won’t live long in the memory, but the Reds ended each season with European silverware to their name.
The same could be true if we overcome the Europa League specialists Sevilla on Wednesday, but it’s only in recent months that Reds all over the …
Are pundits and the media now realising Sakho's talent?
When it comes to Sakho everyone is eager to be proven right. The media that strenuously tag him awkward and for whom he is a representation of the ills of the transfer committee cannot stress enough how poor and overrated he is at any opportunity that comes their way.
On the flip-side the fans that adore him point to more than him painting houses for charity and learning Scouse as the basis for their adoration. They point to his passing …
Klopp, Atmosphere and Fans Leaving Early
"The goal was on 82 minutes - 12 minutes to go - and I saw many people leaving the stadium. I felt pretty alone in that moment. Between 82 and 94 minutes, you can make 8 goals if you want and we have to work for it."
Jurgen Klopp has only been here for a month and he's already felt it necessary to mention the elephant in the room: the atmosphere at Anfield.
It's a big game of Cluedo when …
Re-Evaluating Season Goals for Klopp's Rampant Reds
Six games into Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool reign and it feels like I am supporting a different Liverpool. The same group of players have been transformed from underperforming disappointments to a versatile squad with competition in key positions. Klopp’s reds now have three victories on the bounce, including a very sweet and very comprehensive win at Stamford Bridge over Chelsea. For the first time in about fifteen months, following Liverpool has actually become fun again.
With Klopp re-energising everyone connected to …
Liverpool Vs Crystal Palace | Tactics, Team News and Stats
Alan Pardew, another manager who divides opinion, brings his Crystal Palace side to Anfield on the back of a good start to the season, albeit more inconsistent in recent weeks. The Eagles have won two, drawn one, and lost three of their previous six, although they were unlucky not to beat Manchester United last weekend. On Sunday, at 4pm, Klopp's side are looking to continue with their unbeaten run, and build on the victory over Chelsea last Saturday followed an …
A Guide to Rubin Kazan
Liverpool's Europa League draw wasn't the toughest all things considered. Barring the trip to Russia there shouldn't really be anything there to concern us. There's no reason The Reds shouldn't top that group but It'd be foolish to take these matches for granted. I don't think many fans will watch Russian League football so for a guide to Rubin Kazan I spoke to David Sansun, a writer for russianfootballnews.com who you can find on Twitter @RubinKazanUK.
What style of play …
