This is my first post with Kenny Dalglish as a tag. This is also my first time referring to him as King Kenny. It’s likely to be my last time for both. As a child of the Steven Gerrard era, I will forever carry with me the notion that Steven Gerrard is the greatest player [...]

Godspeed, King Kenny.

Thanks, Steven Gerrard.

The title of this piece seems a bit premature, given that Steven Gerrard hasn’t ended his career, and a bit inappropriate, given that Liverpool just lost the FA Cup to Chelsea last night. But rather than putting out a match reaction on the final itself, I thought a tribute to Steven Gerrard should be in [...]
Why the League Should Trump All for Liverpool

I couldn’t get up for the 2:30am Champions League semifinal between Barcelona and Chelsea last night. Not that I didn’t want to, but after getting out of work at 10pm, I couldn’t muster the physical stamina to wake up in the middle of the night to watch a clash between neutrals. I’ve just watched the [...]
On Damien Comolli’s Departure

So Liverpool’s Director of Football Strategy, Damien Comolli, has left Anfield. Let’s take a look at what this means for Liverpool: 1. This Season Has Not Been Good Enough In the past weeks, Reds fans have been starting to voice their concerns about this season’s performances, and rightly so. With a dismal record since the [...]
Wigan 3/24/2012: That’s It For Now

Liverpool used to embody everything I aspired to be. When I first watched Michael Owen in my early years, I wanted to be like him. Young, talented, successful, and with never-ending potential. I wanted to make things happen. When I then recognized Steven Gerrard’s importance in the Liverpool team, I found the idea of being [...]

Everton 03/13/2012: That’s More Like It

Finally, three points to show for a dominant performance. And what a performance. Liverpool barnstormed to a Steven Gerrard-sized destruction of Everton in the Merseyside derby last night. The skipper’s hattrick marked an emphatic return to winning ways, and in some style. Every single player on the pitch – even Stewart Downing, who played much [...]
Here’s a list of words that can be used to describe Liverpool at various points this season: thrilling, depressing, frustrating, swashbuckling, infuriating. In fact, the list is almost as colorful as the number of different formations employed by Kenny Dalglish and his management team. Since Dalglish took over in January last year, we’ve seen a [...]
Arsenal 3/3/2012: Over and Out
Posted: March 4, 2012 in Liverpool, Premier League match reportsTags: 2012, arsenal, liverpool, match report, premier league
Same old Anfield, just without a point. Once again, Liverpool won in all the statistical battles but came out inferior in the most important one of all. Perhaps, with two posts hit, a penalty missed and a few fine stops from Arsenal’s Wojciech Szczesny, Liverpool were unlucky to win. But with a total goal tally [...]
Cardiff 2/26/2012: Looking Forward

Well. Kenny Dalglish and the boys were never going to heed my advice, were they? Liverpool were always going to do things the hard way, weren’t they? It’s never a Liverpool cup final unless it involves heart attacks and last-minute drama, and so it proved. That makes it three out of three for me in [...]
