The Reds have […]
This weekend see a surprise rivalry take place at Anfield – one that has only really caught fire in the last three years. Liverpool and Southampton do battle, in what has become commonly known as the “We’re Sick Of You Taking Our Players Derby”. Saints have, perhaps understandably, been irked by the Reds consistently snatching […]
Ok Reds, I can’t take it any more. Three months of shallow and brainless analysis of the Virgil Van Dijk transfer saga and I’ve had enough. The information in the public domain simply doesn’t make sense. There is no way Klopp chooses to enter this season with the present choice of centre-backs, does he? At […]
In January of 2013, when Liverpool announced the signing of a young Brazilian playmaker from Inter Milan, I read the article on my computer screen and said “Coutin-who?” I knew I’d heard the name, knew it had been associated with words like “flop” and “bust,” and when I heard he had joined for around £8.5 million, […]
In a summer filled with ITK’s, unconfirmed reports and general nonsense, concrete news is always appreciated. Concrete news is even more appreciated when it’s positive for your interests, something Liverpool fans had yesterday as news broke of Virgil Van Dijk handing an official transfer request into Southampton. Yes, Southampton had known of his desire to […]
They say the purpose of the darkness is that it makes us appreciate the light. And following a night where publications from opposite corners of the globe had Phil Coutinho packed up and gone, any positive news would have been welcome. The sun still came up in Liverpool and the headlines improved as the day […]
It’s been a year since Sadio Mané joined Liverpool, and in that time he has defied and surpassed all expectations. In his first season, the 25 year old scored 13 league goals and provided 5 assists in 26 games; we can only speculate how impressive his statistics would have been if not for Mané getting […]
Some players take a while to adjust at a club of Liverpool’s stature, with the enormous pressure on them every minute of every day something they cannot cope with. For Sadio Mane, however, his Reds career could barely have got off to a better start. Having arrived in relatively low-key circumstances last summer, with the […]
Watching the latest, entirely hapless, efforts of Theresa May to seem like a normal human person by attempting to participate in that most regrettable of group activities, a Mexican wave, your columnist was struck by how apt a metaphor it was for the ineptitude shown by Liverpool FC in their transfer strategy so far this […]
So, with the fixtures out for the 2017/18 season, the initial reaction from Liverpool fans would have been a quick glance to see who we play on the opening day, working out when we play Man United and Everton, and other than that, probably just a bit of a shrug. It’s a reasonably uninspiring fixture […]
