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. Virgil Van Dijk. …
Another day, another biggest match of the season. This is just how we’ve been rolling over these last few months. Two trophies down, and two to go. The quadruple remains a real, if still quite unlikely possibility. No team has ever come this close before. The Premier League: the biggest hurdle The biggest obstacle to the quadruple — although there …
“They can have more enjoyable moments in a week of football than we’ve had in 30 years. Everton are the most miserable club to support in this country. 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, …
This is Liverpool Football Club’s biggest game of the season. Again. We start at nil to 2. Almost safe. I believe that if the Reds had managed to parlay their dominance at Anfield into a third goal, we would see a lot of reserves starting this one. But nil to two is quite different from nil to three. Even at nil …
This is the most important match of the season. Last time out against Newcastle, I mocked Eddie Howe a bit. Truth is, I’ve never thought he was a bad manager, in general. He’s just a bad manager if you want to take a weak or mediocre Premier League team and play against Liverpool. Because Eddie Howe wants his team to …
