Liverpool Write A Piece Of History
Well, it finally happened didn’t it. We’ve been saying for a few weeks that someday, someone will get a good pasting from us. Sadly for Maribor it was them. Everything seemed to click as Liverpool write a piece of history. Already holding the Champions League record for their 8-0 home win against Besiktas in 2007, […]
Honours Even But More Promising Signs
Not the result we wanted or deserved. But as things stand, honours even but more promising signs to give us encouragement. In many ways our 0-0 draw with Manchester United was so typical of so many of some of our recent matches. Dominate possession, loads of shots, playing well generally but no end product. It […]
Liverpool Again Dominate But Fail To Win
Well what can we say. Do we post details of the match against Newcastle at St James Park? Or do we copy and paste the details from the Spartak game, the Burnley game, Leicester game etc. If you didn’t know already, yesterday we saw Liverpool again dominate but fail to win. Sounds so familiar doesn’t […]
Liverpool Win Five Goal Thriller
How many times have we said “Liverpool Win Five Goal Thriller” in recent years? Just to confirm, the score was Leicester 2, Liverpool 3. Or should that read Mr Hyde 2, Dr Jekyll 3. Make no mistake, this was another Jekyll and Hyde performance from the Reds. Fabulous football on so many occasions during the […]
Whats In Reserve
Going to first team matches enables fans to see at first hand the talent available to Jurgen Klopp. But beneath the first XI, whats in reserve? Are there any budding Sadio Mane’s or Adam Lallana’s? Do we have any up and coming centre backs capable of challenging current incumbents, Matip, Klavan and Lovren? Liverpool 4, […]
Groundhog Day Yet Again
We were only commenting on a Groundhog Day a few days ago after our 1-1 draw with Burnley. Would we learn from the mistakes from the Burnley game….the Sevilla game…..etc….etc? Well, we didn’t have long to find out the answer to that did we. You will know by now that the answer is, no we […]
Do We Need A Specialist Defensive Coach?
The 1-1 draw with Burnley on Saturday (16/09/17) provided us with yet more examples of poor defensive play. On the way out of the ground I mentioned that the game was another Groundhog Day. Total domination in terms of possession, corners and shots but yet again we do not get what we deserve – maximum […]
Arsenal Blown Away With Ease
Liverpool were at their scintillating best as they swept aside one of their big rivals, Arsenal. Following on from their impressive attacking display against Hoffenheim a few days earlier, Liverpool totally dominated the Gunners. In fact it is fair to say that Arsenal were blown away with ease. The game ended 4-0 but in all […]
The Return Of Champions League Football
You could sense the nerves throughout the stadium for 45 minutes, but eventually Liverpool secured their Champions League return. Nerves turned to cheers as already relegated Middlesbrough crumbled at Anfield. Liverpool are the way back to the return of Champions League football. As top-four rivals Arsenal were leading against Everton, Liverpool huffed and puffed. They […]
Opening Of The New Main Stand
Finally the new Main Stand has been completed. And what a stand it is. At Liverpool’s request, the Premier League allowed Liverpool to begin their 2013/14 campaign with three consecutive away games. This was so that the new stand could be satisfactorily completed. I can well remember the opening of the new Centenary Stand (the […]
