Under the Roy Evans regime, Neil Ruddock, John Scales, Phil Babb & Mark Wright were the options in defence. They were the central defenders in the mid nineties that saw a period of great attacking football from the reds. The likes of Robbie Fowler and Steve McManaman were part of an exciting line up...
I wanted to distract a little from the joys of the transfer window, so would like to share some thoughts on one of the reds' greatest ever central defenders.
Hint: it’s not Dejan Lovren.
In 2008 Chelsea and Liverpool met on four separate occasions throughout the calendar year. The first, on February 10th (towards the back...
If you're expecting a memorable summer in the transfer market at Liverpool, you're in for a horrible shock.
Unfortunately, this isn't FIFA or Football Manager, so the Reds won't be splashing an endless stream of cash, as Jurgen Klopp's men look to bounce back from this most dispiriting of seasons.
Given the impact that COVID-19 has...
While it’s practically impossible to improve on the kind of perfection that this Liverpool team has embodied over the last two years...it’s always fun to fantasise, isn’t it?
So with that being said, here’s a Liverpool legend that might just fit into the greatest LFC side of our generation...
When you look at this wonderful, star-studded...
Such has been the almost unblemished ascent Liverpool have enjoyed to what increasingly looks like an inevitable league title, a lot of the suspense has been removed from the domestic season for the Reds' faithful.
With collective honours a near formality, many fans have instead debated who among the reigning European Champions' squad will win...

Just kidding. Whilst I do think it’s strange he’s been selected despite an inconsistent season, I could see how getting shoehorned into a 4-3-3 formation with a clear lack of...
Former Liverpool and Finland centre-back Sami Hyypia believes The Reds acquired a true "leader" when signing Virgil van Dijk from Southampton in January 2018.
Hyypia became a Reds legend himself during his ten-year spell at the club when he formed formidable partnerships at the back, first beside Stephane Henchoz and then with Jamie Carragher.
Liverpool's old...
If you could name one player at one point in the history of Liverpool whose sending off would produce the most hysterical reaction, Jordan Henderson in 2018 would be right at the top of the list.
The Reds skipper was shown his marching orders for a stupid second yellow card at Watford on Saturday, leading...
Remember when people said that £75 million was an exorbitant fee?
Liverpool have gone from a notoriously shaky defence, one which is able to instil fear into even the most resilient of Liverpool fans when they conceded a corner, to one which instils fear into event the sharpest of strikers.
And a lot of Liverpool’s surge...
This time just over a year ago, imagine being told Liverpool would sign Alisson, Virgil van Dijk and Naby Keita in the 12 months that followed.
