Miserable. Abject. Shocking. Google had a good one: “woebegone”. Saturday saw major players in the Premier League drop points, as Liverpool fans licked their lips and rubbed their bellies, waiting as patiently as wolves for Sunday to roll around to watch our Reds batter Newcastle. And why not? We battered Southampton, we battered Chelsea, we […]
In a win that saw them get three points on the bounce for the first time in months, it was a welcome, if uncommon, sight for the Liverpool fans on their home turf. Someone’s been leaving the back door open at Fortress Anfield lately, but a convincing performance against Garry Monk’s Swansea showed signs that […]
In Firmino, it’s clear we have a ludicrous talent on our hands. While it has taken a bit longer than we would have hoped to see the ability that garnered the £29m we forked over to German outfit Hoffenheim, each game now is providing a highlight reel that’ll squeeze several “Ooo’s” and “Aah’s” out of […]
In another copy and paste headline, Liverpool have suffered an injury setback – once again. This time, arguably our player of the moment, and maybe even one of the league’s best centre-backs right now: Mamadou Sakho. With Lovren and Skrtel as our foreseeable centre-back pairing, and that previous statement being enough of a nightmare fuel […]
Wednesday sees Jurgen Klopp’s new-look Liverpool take on Bournemouth – the Reds still look recognisable though as they’ve been plagued with the same hunger for goals that they’ve suffered all season. A loss against the 17th-placed Premier League side would bring Jurgen’s hype train grinding to a halt, while even a draw would be a […]
The pub in Manchester against City, the bar down the road from there against Bolton… Hell, the more recent venture into the local Merseyside dive against Stoke when it rained and I had that picture of you in my wallet for good luck. Oh, Phil, so many memories. You’re to thank for one of the […]
After scoring a silly amount of goals in the 2013-14 season, the next season was always going to seem like driving a Ford Mondeo after a piloting a battle tank. The disappearing acts of Suarez and pretty much Sturridge can be partly to thank for that, as can the transfers in, but as for quite […]
It will come as a surprise to most Liverpool fans – and probably most Tottenham fans – to hear that Spurs have ended the Premier League higher than the Reds four times in the last five seasons. Looking at the clashes between the two clubs individually, however, it doesn’t paint the same picture. What it […]
Transfer windows do a lot to test the patience of football fans, and make them question the credibility of some unnamed journalists in equal measure. If you ever used your coat as a goal post, watch out – you might be getting linked to Liverpool/Juventus/Young Boys. Not having FSG’s room rigged with recording devices means […]
A 3-0 England Under-21 victory over Kazakhstan came at the expense of Joe Gomez, who hobbled off with a knee injury with 10 minutes left on the clock. A surprise addition to Liverpool’s starting XI early on in the season, Gomez impressed everyone with his defensive displays out of position and managed to push £12m man […]
You know what show I really like? “Liverpool vs…”. Sure, you could argue it’s just millionaires running around a field for ninety minutes and, yeah, it can go all ninety of those minutes without a goal – but there’s so much more to it than that. Maybe the people that hate on footie could warm […]
Everyone has an opinion on Brendan Rodgers, regardless of what club you support. Some see him as a sharp mind blunted by unfortunate times, some see him as a Twitter account, some see him as a scapegoat for what has come of Liverpool the last 12+ months. The one thing people don’t seem to see […]
