‘I like being the underdog so they don’t expect what’s going to happen…’
The biggest moments aren’t always meant for the biggest players, the best players, the ones who you’d expect to take up the mantle when everything is on the line.
Those glittering, do or die moments can spark the emergence of those who have...
‘Fight on my men, sayes Sir Andrew Barton,
I am hurt but I am not slaine,
Ile lay mee downe and bleed a-while,
And then Ile rise and fight againe.’
JIM KELLY IS stood looking out over a national landmark, a waterfall so vast and colossal it attracts twelve million visitors a year. Niagara Falls, a beautiful and...
Jürgen Klopp said once that he likes his sides to play heavy metal football.
We have had many, many examples of this over the past three-and-a-bit years of his reign as Liverpool manager, with some incredible and memorable performances along the way.
We all remember some of the roller-coaster games of Klopp's Liverpool; Norwich 4-5 Liverpool...
It’s always different than how you imagined it. Because imagination can’t possibly predict every emotion. The almost-overwhelming nerves in the build-up, the way your eyes close when the first rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone resounds throughout the Wanda Metropolitano, the sensation of suddenly being eight feet in the air when the ref blows...
Told Gags I'd do the ratings regardless of the result, but come on, thank fuck we won. Just back from the parade myself. Did you make it? Not a big surprise if you did, given there were 750,000 fans of the Reds knocking about. Oh, apologies. 750,000 fans of the SIX TIME EUROPEAN CUP...
Pack your bags, we’re going to Madrid. It’s the biggest stage of all in club football, and the Reds will be hoping they can go one better than last year in Kiev. A place in Liverpool folklore waits for the current squad.
This year’s UEFA Champions League road to the final in Madrid has proven...
Sergio Ramos Garcia. To Liverpool.
Okay, before you click to close the window and burn your laptop in a barrel in the back yard, let’s remove the name and take a closer look. A 34-year-old centre-back with the ability to play right-back who has piled up four Champions League titles, four La Liga titles, a...
Liverpool’s Fullback Creativity and Recruitment Targets – Part 1
An analytical deep dive to profile Liverpool's fullback creativity and answer the question - is it sustainable?
This season, Liverpool consistently lacked a midfield set-up that tasked a player to be a high performing creator and goal threat. That meant the absence of a midfielder to carry...
Three days after Liverpool emphatically turned around a three-goal deficit to reach the Champions League final, I arrived in Barcelona for a short trip still ecstatic from the result.
What I learned just moments after getting off the plane was that this result hasn’t just hurt Messi and the rest of the team it’s hurt...
I never used to consider myself to be a victim. But recent incidents have made me rethink that.
To put it bluntly, being a Liverpool fan means I’m treated differently. If I’m ever offended it’s because I’m a victim. If I feel something is unjust I’m a victim. State an opinion someone disagrees with...
