Xabi Alonso
Former Liverpool legend Xabi Alonso believes Fabinho is a vital cog in midfield for Jurgen Klopp’s current Red machine. Alonso, who tasted Champions League glory with Liverpool in Istanbul in 2005, says that Fabinho’s role in the current Liverpool team is not too unlike his own under Rafa Benitez over a decade ago. The former […]
Liverpool football club is not at the top of the transfer food chain. It’s an unpleasant fact but we need to accept it. There are clubs that are richer, stronger and can offer guarantees that LFC just can’t. So it’s natural that some players will use the famous red jersey as a stepping stone to […]
Some players are real bastards of the game, plying their trade with the kind of snide and underhanded disregard of the rules that causes outright fury from opposition fans. (See Sergio Ramos for details). Yet, they’re also the type of player you desperately want in your team. A player who’d go the extra mile, commit […]
A local lad from West Derby, Trent Alexander-Arnold embodies the very spirit and culture of the city of Liverpool. Growing up within walking distance of Melwood, he would watch Steven Gerrard, Xabi Alonso and Jamie Carragher through cracks in the wall. He knows the city, its people and its values: he just gets it. Since […]
“Liverpool will never progress if they keep selling their best players”. We’ve all heard this argument before. And on many levels, it has merit. How could you possibly hope to improve if you are forever losing your best player? How can you be strong when you are continually weakening your team? And what a weakening […]

One of the Reds’ greatest Achilles heels has […]
Right then. There’s a fair chance you’ve sent me a tirade of Twitter abuse before actually clicking to read this piece, so I’ll thank you for *hopefully* not having wished death upon everyone I know and love. If you have, then here we are. Philippe Coutinho. What a treasure, Liverpool’s darling. The adopted Brazilian that […]
It’s an interesting question and one which, more than anything else, I’d just like to discuss with you readers. If you’re interested in sports other than football, over the past few weeks you may well have heard or seen some ‘legendary’ players, teams or performances: there was Mohamed Amir’s bowling spell in the Champions Trophy Final […]
There has been a tragic lack of truly iconic figures to have graced the Premier League in recent times. That, at least, is the only logical conclusion one can come to in the face of the overwhelming obsession the fans of so many other clubs have with Liverpool’s former captain, Steven Gerrard. From Stoke to […]
We live in fast times – a lot of things nowadays happen instantly. People have gotten used to that so much that it is easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and over react to some events. In the world of football every time a team doesn’t win, it’s a catastrophe – have a […]
