Happy Birthday Ronnie Whelan
Happy Birthday Ronnie Whelan. Today, the 25th September is Liverpool legend, Ronnie Whelan’s 56th birthday. Ronald Andrew “Ronnie” Whelan is also a former Irish international. For those old enough to remember him he was an integral part of the dominant Liverpool side of the 1980s. He enjoyed a trophy laden spell at the club from 1979 to 1994. […]
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 […]
On This Day – 18th September 1991
What happened on this day in earlier years? The 18th September 1991 saw Liverpool return to the European stage after their post Heysel ban. We all know what happened at the Heysel Stadium in 1985. A tragic disaster that saw English clubs banned from European competitions until the 1990/91 season for all clubs apart from […]
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 […]
Liverpool Sign Mohamed Salah
Finally Liverpool have signed winger Mohamed salah from Italian Serie A side AS Roma. The fee is a reported £34m – with add-ons it is expected to eclipse Liverpool’s previous £35m transfer record paid for Andy Carroll. We say sign finally because we were so heavily linked with signing Salah in January 2014. It was […]
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 […]
