We have finally (almost) reached the Champions League Final — which also happens to be the final most important match of the season. The mostest of the most. The biggest game in club football. It’s the game that crowns the best club football team in Europe. Since most of the world’s best footballers play in Europe, this cup serves as …

To put it mildly, the result was disappointing. It hurt. But at the same time, the ride to get there was fantastic and glorious. For two hours I was THIS CLOSE to experiencing one of the most joyful moments of my life. We Liverpool fans were really, really alive.
Where Will You Be? What Will You Do? Where will you be if it happens? Yes, I know it probably won’t happen. But it MIGHT. If it does, where will you be? What will you do? Will some of you reading this actually be at Anfield tomorrow? Will you be in a pub? Will you spill your drink? Will you …
Many in the LFC Twitterverse were dismayed that Klopp heavily rotated the lineup for Southampton. I was delighted, but not at all surprised. After most of the preferred starters played close to 120 minutes in a physically and emotionally draining FA Cup Final on Saturday, the Southampton came too quickly for those players to recover sufficiently. Sports science dictated that Klopp needed to change the lineup. A lot.
This season we are watching genius at work, and some key elements of that genius have been hidden from our view. As Reds, one of the many joys we regularly experience while watching this fantastic squad is that we have a slew of players who are among the best of the best at their positions. Mo Salah.

The Premier League: the biggest hurdle The biggest obstacle to the quadruple — although there …

A combination of us being unable to have any high whatsoever compounded by them getting football miracles on a weekly basis season after season.” – Anonymous Evertonian This outstanding insight from a …
It’s Gonna Be Close Liverpool and Chelsea. We’ve seen it all before, and we know one thing — it’s gonna be close. Three times already this season, these two heavyweights have faced up. Three times they have finished 90 minutes with the scoreline even. These two teams are two of the top five teams in the world (or at least …
This weekend City showed their resilience. Now Liverpool Football Club will need to do the same. All of us suffered a gut punch on Saturday, and that certainly includes the players and manager. After the disappointing draw against Spurs, LFC’s hopes of a 20th league title have gone from hopeful to slim. But slim is not none, and the Reds need …
The next in line of Liverpool Football Club’s longest-ever string of “biggest games of the season.” Or maybe not. In 2018-19, the Reds walked a similar tightrope for the last several months of the season, albeit in fewer competitions. But this time, because there are more competitions, there have been more opportunities to slip. More opportunities to fail. So far, …
