Liverpool are enjoying a historic season and it should be relished

After the last Premier League matchday, where Liverpool, despite their dominance and total control, could have lost the title race because of a very uncharacteristic error from both Van Dijk and Alisson, the table looks very promising for the Reds. The accumulated points at this stage already beats their overall points total for a Premier […]

Klopp’s reliance on his trusted players is costing Liverpool

It is not senseless or unfair to say that the man has put Liverpool on the map once again. Implementing his philosophy of relentless counter-pressing and organised chaos has taken time, several transfer windows and many millions. The progress, however, has been clear right from the start; reaching two European finals and leading a title […]

How do you judge Jurgen Klopp?

How do you judge managers, really? It does seem that taking into account the club’s league position or trophy count is not sufficient. What ought to be the criteria behind claiming manager A is better than manager B? What should be the parameters considered and how exactly should the conclusion be derived? It’s clear that the […]

De Bruyne can have no complaints as Salah wins PFA award

Many fans and pundits have been suggesting that Kevin De Bruyne should have been named the PFA Players’ Player of the Season for his role in Manchester City’s title win. Err…no. Absolutely not. Not when there has been an Egyptian running amok in the Premier League for almost eight months now. The race between De […]

Contingency plans – Why don’t Liverpool have them?

It’s time we learnt our lessons and prepare for the inevitable. “Failure is instructive. The person who really thinks learns quite as much from his failures as from his successes.” – John Dewey A sound piece of advice. And one that our club tries its best to not follow. Liverpool are renowned for repeating past […]

Priorities: What do LFC need from this transfer window?

That time of the year again. When everybody is a seer or a clairvoyant who raise the hopes of the gullible only for them to be eventually crushed. When supporters, especially LFC’s, end up bickering with each other, only for them to end arguments by criticizing the club and the way they operate. And of […]

Liverpool should embrace extra games

An FA Cup replay adds yet another game to our already jam-packed January schedule. Is it really a hindrance? A 2-2 draw against Exeter ensured that LFC would play them again at Anfield. That game was the first big break a lot of our youngsters were looking for. And Klopp responded in kind by fielding […]

Brendan’s mess will take Klopp time to clean up

Jurgen Klopp is already the ‘flopped one’. After just over 80 days of being in charge. What many don’t realise is that his predecessor played a big part in putting us in this mess. Inconsistency. That’s the word which describes us perfectly at the moment. It’s always been one step forward and two steps back […]

Liverpool fans and confirmation bias

Few of the players have upped their game under Jurgen Klopp and are now considered to be ‘good enough’ for Liverpool, even in the long term. Are they? Confirmation bias is defined as ‘the tendency to look for something/anything which confirms a person’s own beliefs or hypothesis’. So, if someone thinks a player is good, […]

Liverpool fans must show patience

It’s a virtue that most of the Liverpool supporters lack. As Klopp would say, ‘we have to change…now’. It’s been little over three weeks since Rodgers was sacked. A surprise for nearly the entire fanbase, when the news broke out hours after the derby. Also, one could add, an occasion to celebrate. Anybody who had […]

FSG – a case for the defence

There is a misconception regarding our owners, which many of LFC’s (and other clubs’) supporters cannot seem to shake off. Is the distaste for them the leftovers from the previous Yankee regime? “Oh, these Americans have no clue about football, they should pack up and stick to bloody baseball!” “Why the hell would they not […]
