The What Could Have Been Liverpool XI: Attack
There have been several players in Liverpool’s recent past who have enjoyed the best football of their careers at Anfield and inscribed themselves into the club’s history with memorable performances.
Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres — to name but three — either spent all of their careers or, in Gerrard’s case as good as, with the Reds or — with Torres as an example — enjoyed their career-best runs of form in a Liverpool shirt.
There have been …
The What Could Have Been Liverpool XI: The Midfield
There have been several players in Liverpool’s recent past who have enjoyed the best football of their careers at Anfield and inscribed themselves into the club’s history with memorable performances.

Where would Steven Gerrard fit into this Liverpool team?
While it's practically impossible to improve on the kind of perfection that this Liverpool team has embodied over the last two year... 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.
Steven Gerrard.
And before we get started, I don't think it's unfair to say that Captain Fantastic as he was so often referred to wouldn't fit into any of the …
How Would Fernando Torres Fit Into This Liverpool FC Side?
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 this generation.
No, replacing Roberto Firmino wouldn’t be the best thing to do for this team. He’s the engine room, and though he went on a fairly barren spell in front of …
Sterling has nobody to blame but himself...this time
Let's dispel a myth to begin with.
The general consensus is that all Liverpool supporters detest Raheem Sterling, never forgiving him for the manner in which he left in 2015.
That is well wide of the mark.
I don't just speak for myself when I say I've got plenty of time for Sterling, even though he handled his exit badly after that depressing 2014/15 season.
Not only a world-class footballer, the 24-year-old has done lots of good off the pitch …
Team of the Year Crystallises Liverpool's Progress
So Paul Pogba eh? What a huge shock and weird selection to the PFA Team of the Year that was! In this essay, I will…
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 individual central midfield candidates could end up with Pogba potentially getting in the team, maybe even with less votes than both Hazard and Salah, both …
Victory at Old Trafford More Significant Than 2009?
Liverpool's 4-1 win at Man United in 2009 remains my favourite-ever away win by the Reds, in any competition.
Having started supporting Liverpool in 1994, it took until December 2000 to even see them prevail at Old Trafford, as Danny Murphy scored the only goal.
He went on to do that twice more in the next three and a half years, during the only golden spell away to United in the last 25 years.
While those trio of 1-0 victories …
Rafa Benitez Still Channeling Spirit of Istanbul
Three game weeks ago, Newcastle were on just 3 points from 10 games, 19th place in the Premier League, yet to win a league game, and only avoiding being rock bottom because of the absolutely dire form of fellow strugglers Huddersfield, who they were only above on goal difference.
And yet, even with their own fans furious and finally starting to shift their wrath away from Mike Ashley and towards their manager, a lot of external football supporters were more …
Kenny Dalglish on his second spell as manager Liverpool
"I was really looking forward to seeing Fernando playing with Suarez." - Kenny Dalglish, The King and AI, episode 2Weren't we all... As an outsider to the inner machinations of the club, no matter how big of a fan you are, it's very rare to get a chance to get the full, unabridged, unaltered story. But Sir Kenny Dalglish afforded us a rare insight into those processes during his second term as Liverpool manager, and how challenges that …
Liverpool FC Squad Analysis: The Depth Chart
There are two weeks to go until the summer transfer window slams shut, locks and closes its shutters. Jurgen Klopp has apparently announced there will be no more signings with his comments last week - "We have everything we need for the next season because I don’t think we will do anything more, I’m pretty sure of that."
Having written this piece for AI for the past two summers, this year I'm excited to bring you the Depth chart for …
