After Liverpool’s double cup triumphs over Man City and Man Utd in the League and FA Cups respectively, it’s now time to re-focus on matters in the Premier League as we travel to Molineux (19.45 kick off) to face Mick McCarthy’s Wolverhampton Wanderers side on Tuesday evening. Six points separate us from 4th placed Chelsea [...]
Fact: as captain, kiss the United badge to Liverpool fans at the Kop end, and you’ll be booed upon your return. … Like a lot of Liverpool fans, I’m sick of the moralising by holier-than-thou types about ‘our’ behaviour. The main evil of racism is that it brands everyone as the same, in an often derogatory manner.
Liverpool had a very good record against Bolton Wanderers, winning their previous ten meetings in the league. However, the Trotters broke their duck with a convincing win against the Reds. Motivational Issues A lot of people have questioned whether Liverpool were ‘up’ for this game, and it’s a fair criticism. It is here we should [...]
A lot of people are putting Liverpool’s run of poor form down to the signings made in 2011. While a lot of money was spent, it’s important to remember that several players who didn’t want to be at Liverpool FC anymore – some of them erstwhile idols – were sold in the process. Some fans [...]
By Paul Tomkins. When arguing that Rafa Benítez was doing a good job (and often a very good job), I often observed how wrong it was to expect Liverpool to automatically return to the glory days. Too much had changed between 1991, when Kenny resigned with the Reds reigning champions, and 2004, when Rafa arrived. [...]
By Paul Tomkins, January 3rd 2012. It’s that time of year. The queues are forming, and the doors have opened. The sales have started. At first glance, it seems that January is an underrated time for transfers. We are constantly told that it’s a tough time to do business; but while it’s true that the [...]
The opening As they had done in their previous meeting, both sides continued with similar tactics to the match they had just played. Manchester City started with their 4-4-2 with inverted wingers, while Dalglish stuck with 4-1-2-3 as he has done in almost all of the “big” matches. In the league meeting it was City [...]
After two successful domestic cup fixtures that have seen Liverpool progress to the 4th round of the FA Cup thanks to a 5-1 victory over Oldham, and secure a 1-0 semi-final first leg victory over Manchester City in the League Cup, focus for the Reds once again returns to matters in the Premier League and [...]
By football lawyer, Daniel Geey @FootballLaw. (Not that it should matter in terms of the veracity of the points he makes in terms of the glaring inconsistencies in the FA’s report, but it’s only fair to note upfront that Daniel is Liverpool fan). Further analysis of the media’s treatment of the case (and racism in [...]
Just over a week has passed since we lost 3-0 to Manchester City at Eastlands in the Premier League. A week is a long time in the world of football and since that result, Liverpool have progressed to the 4th round of the FA Cup – where we will face Manchester Utd at Anfield – [...]
