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 [...]

Why the League Should Trump All for Liverpool
Posted: April 25, 2012 in Liverpool, OthersTags: 2012, champions league, liverpool, opinion
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 [...]

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 [...]
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 [...]

Well, it just had to be, didn’t it? Before Liverpool’s trip to Old Trafford, a first in more than a year, there was so much to look forward to. Would Liverpool take their recent good form against Manchester United to them? Would we see a much-awaited front four of Andy Carroll, Luis Suarez, Steven Gerrard [...]
A Look Back on 2011

So, where to begin? It’s been an eventful year, has 2011. First, a brief summary of my take on Liverpool’s 2011. We began the year by ditching Roy Hodgson, whose charisma could rival an ostrich’s, and whose ability to handle pressure at the highest level reminds one of Paul Konchesky. In his place, of course, [...]

Let me cut straight to the chase. I will assume that most readers of this piece will have been aware of the events that transpired between Luis Suarez and Patrice Evra during the Liverpool-Manchester United game last month.

Ever since Kenny’s return to L4 at the beginning of the year, ever since Luis Suarez walked through the Shankly Gates in place of El Nino, ever since we turned around our league form to come within an inch of finishing the season among the European places, most of what we’ve heard about Liverpool Football [...]

When the Hicks and Gillett regime was ushered out last year, I wondered if we were taking a massive risk in bringing in American owners yet again. When Luis Suarez was signed in January, I wondered if we were taking a massive risk in bringing in a top scorer from the Dutch league. When Fernando [...]
