The Premier League’s top six clubs dream about having English talents good enough to bring all the way through from their academy systems and into the first team.  Liverpool are fortunate to have one of these rising stars in 19-year-old Trent Alexander-Arnold.  Blessed with speed, intelligence, a powerful shot and outstanding passing range, Alexander-Arnold is […]
As 2017 comes to its creaking and inevitable end, perhaps it’s time to take stock and look at the state of our Red nation – to make a brief assessment of where we are; to ‘take our temperature’ as Leo McGarry says in the West Wing. The last month has provided a perfect cross section […]
Alright, it’s time for the euphoria to die down. Liverpool have got Virgil van Dijk, but now, it is time to focus on more important business – racking up the Premier League points and keep ourselves firmly in the race for the Premier League top four. Leicester City are the next visitors to Anfield, as […]
You probably won’t believe me but I had the idea for this article way before the Arsenal game. I had even started gathering the stats from the different sites before the game started. The article was due last Thursday but I decided to postpone it for this week so I get a sample size that […]

Liverpool cruised to an excellent 5-0 win over a hapless Swansea side, which means that there will be high scores aplenty as two goals from Firmino and one each from Coutinho, Ox and Trent moved the Reds back into the top four. Simon Mignolet – 6/10: A virtual spectator for 90 minutes, making a decent […]
A lot of clubs have a rotation problem, balancing the heavy requirements of the winter schedule can be daunting, but Liverpool… they’re different. For once Liverpool have a deep enough squad that rotation is not an issue at all, but the Reds do have a rotating problem. The focus of supporter ire changes from match […]

Liverpool fans love a moan whether it be over the lack of a true centre-forward in the side, a midfield lacking in goals and defensive solidity, a back-four that’s an accident waiting to happen or Klopp’s rotation policy amid a rigorous fixture schedule. However, the strongest degree of scrutiny from supporters seems to stem from […]
