For every player we sign, there’s fifteen rumoured to have been taking that place. These Chinese whispers are started as often as football fans mouth off about them, and are about as useful. One recurring team you’ll see if you support Liverpool though, is Southampton. A Championship side tha- wait, they’re not in that league. […]
In the last three derbies, there have been three draws. Not even thrilling draws either, with two 1-1’s and a 0-0. While it might be insulting to the history of the derby and thrill of the build-up, these usually dynamite matches have been all fuse and no bang. The only things I can even recall […]
In one of the more thrilling draws recently, Tottenham took Liverpool to the hilt at Anfield and each had a point to show for their efforts. Neither side particularly deserved the win, but not in the “Boring, no shots on goal” kind of way. We had a great record against Spurs going into the match, […]
After the horror show against Southampton, a few things were made blindingly clear. One being, a clear out is needed. You can read Sam Brown’s take on who the guillotine is hanging over right here. Another being, Liverpool need a real bastard in the team. Someone that doesn’t let them concede three when up two […]
In a rhythm we’ve become accustomed to as Liverpool fans, February brought with it an awful lot of football. Not an awful lot of awful football either, but we’re left going into March feeling particularly deflated after being beaten to the Capital One Cup on pens by Manchester City. Two wins out of a possible seven […]
It really is that simple. If Daniel Sturridge is fit, we score goals. If Philippe Coutinho is fit, we probably bag a few more. A goal from a corner? A clean sheet? Let’s go town. It’s safe to say Liverpool obliterated Aston Villa on their home turf, and with a return to European football midweek […]
The return of Divock Origi, Philippe Coutinho and Daniel Sturridge made dropping out of the FA Cup earlier in the week a sweeter pill to swallow. You can’t help but think that with these names available, our problems in front of goal are going to solve themselves. Against the likes of Rudy Gestede and Gabby […]
Dragging the Stoke semi-final to penalties was not ideal for a squad that had already been worked into the ground, and it seems we’ve only just landed on the floor after Joe Allen sent us all jumping for joy a few days ago. But Liverpool are back at it already. This time, against a West […]
It’s rare that a match where Liverpool score five goals is followed with words like “farce”, “awful” and “shocking” being thrown at their own players. Conceding four against a team placed 17th in the Premier League will tend to eclipse most things, though. A kryptonite to their Supermen, Liverpool’s inability to defend set-pieces has proven […]
In what’s being dubbed as the biggest game of the Reds’ season to date, Stoke venture down to Anfield to try and overcome the one goal deficit they suffered earlier in January. Having looked a farce/force against Norwich at the weekend, it’s with bated breath we speak of any thrashings coming towards the Potters. However, […]
This half of the season has been a great sample of what life supporting Liverpool is like. There have been incredible wins against Goliaths of the English leagues, and then capitulations against their respective Davids; not to mention we signed up one of the best managers in world football. Here we’re going to look at […]
