“And it’s Liiiiiiiivvvv-errr-pool Liverpool FC We’re by far the greatest two thirds of a team The world has ever seen.” Well, they had me fooled. As the hours passed and Sky reporters told us about how they’d spoken to ‘sources close to the club’ while standing outside car parks, I honestly believed there would be […]
As Liverpool swept Middlesbrough aside on the final day of the season, I was filled with optimism. Let the fun begin, I thought We had Klopp, Champions League football and reportedly a rather large pot of gold to splurge on some much-needed transfers. Most importantly, we’d experienced sensible – logical – progression. We’d moved from […]
Early in July we all had our favorite Liverpool writer we looked to for transfer intel, but those usually clued-in were mostly silent. Into the void stepped a new batch of ITK’s with exotic ties to unnamed “sources” from far away lands. We quietly hoped they had it right. They didn’t. Curiously, they were all […]
Joe Gomez has endured a torrid time since moving to Liverpool, suffering an untimely ACL injury just seven days into Jurgen Klopp’s tenure as manager. The 20-year-old was ruled out for the rest of the season after being forced off the pitch ten minutes into England Under-21’s game against Kazakhstan. “Gomez came here and I […]
On Thursday afternoon, Liverpool FC’s Twitter account tweeted a video of the new CEO, Peter Moore, detailing how Liverpool FC would be a proud member of Liverpool Pride: Reds go rainbow in support of Liverpool Pride: https://t.co/N8w6f3HmJh pic.twitter.com/mbqpmXrYpV — Liverpool FC (@LFC) July 20, 2017 I was not prepared for the comments that followed in […]
Transfers in football often seem reasonably straightforward. Building a squad is easy – you just isolate areas in your squad where you need another player, either because you’re a player short or because your strongest player in that area is a weak link in the squad. Then… you buy a suitable player. But over the […]
With Sakho’s return to training at Melwood, and the Virgil Van Dijk saga seeming to offer no immediate solution to Liverpool’s troubles at centre-back, Liverpool fans have found themselves considering whether Jürgen Klopp should backtrack on his decision to marginalise and sell Mamadou Sakho. For Sakho though, his time at Liverpool has been one that has […]
Liverpool have some stunning players in their team at the moment. From Phillippe Coutinho terrifying defenders and midfielders alike to Sadio Mane outstripping pretty much anyone in front of him, their front 5 could easily be part of a title challenging team. Although Klopp has achieved high finishes, a Europa League final appearance and guaranteed […]
Much of the focus of the summer – which is still only weeks old, it should be said – for fans of any club, is the possibility and speculation of the transfer window. We’re all anxious to see who we can get through the door and onto the pitch for next season’s inevitable League and […]
In October of 2010, Fenway Sports Group purchased Liverpool FC for £300 million. In his first statement as owner, John Henry claimed, ‘We’re here to win and we’ll do whatever is necessary.’ Fast-forward almost seven years later, and fans are still divided as to whether FSG have been good owners for the club, and whether the […]
