Football needs rivalry.
It adds an extra element to occasion. Winning is incentive enough but bragging rights and pride being up for grabs just intensifies it. As a Liverpool fan whenever the fixtures are released at the start of the season I instinctively look for the matches against Manchester United and Everton. The feelings towards...
Why the optimism?
Maybe it's because we wrote this season off when Rodgers was sacked in October. A new manager, whoever it was, would need time to affect change and instill their vision within our club. Then it happened… Klopp-mania. The question is not “why did we expect immediate miracles?” but “how could we have...
With the summer drawing ever closer, rumours have been circulating about a number of Liverpool players, including the future of Daniel Sturridge. The England striker has struggled with injury in the last few seasons, causing many fans to want the club to wipe their hands with the 26 year old, who could command a...
It seems to be the constant posture Liverpool Football Club has found itself in since circa 1992. We are always “in transition”, always going through changes, always waiting for players to be bedded in, always looking for the deadwood to be shipped out.
After our 2013/14 season, where we so nearly brought the title home,...
The general consensus is that Liverpool need to sign another striker this summer. A guaranteed goal-getter to get the pulses racing inside Anfield and leave opposition defences quaking with fear.
However, the Reds currently have four international strikers fully fit for the first time this season and the upturn in goalscoring form makes for good...
I’m going to attempt to do something here that is perhaps a little alien to me when it comes to Liverpool Football Club, I’m going to attempt to write the following from the head as opposed to the heart.
The reason for this, is that I was recently thinking about Jurgen Klopp’s opening shots as...
Inconsistency has been a hallmark of Liverpool's performances since the start of Brendan Rodgers' tenure in 2012, but why do Liverpool still struggle to put together a string of successive good performances, or put a small handful of fantastic performances in between a sandwich of dull, slow and rather boring ones?
There is no clear answer...
It’s been a frustrating season for Liverpool fans so far, the right man is in charge but he’s working with another man’s tools and the results have been inconsistent. With the Reds sitting ninth in the league and the lack of transfers in the January window fans are already pinpointing deficiencies within the current...
As football supporters, it's only natural to crave success. We want the club we adore to achieve great things, to challenge for honours and ultimately be a consistent force both domestically and within Europe. Deep down we all want this, but strangely I don't necessarily want it just yet. Now that may sound like...
It’s not a great time to be a Liverpool supporter right now. The league campaign – what, for many, gives the season it’s real wings – is in danger of spiralling into a damage limitation exercise. It can be grim watching the Reds; a chronic lack of pace, a blunt object seemingly incapable of...
