By Andrew Beasley. Statistics sourced from EPLIndex, and correct up to and including 8th May 2012. Anfield. Tuesday night, at about ten to nine. The last home game of a topsy-turvy season for Liverpool. Stewart Downing is about to attempt to bag his first Premier League goal for the Reds in much the same fashion [...]
By Simon Steers. Rarely has a new Liverpool signing caused so much debate (except Andy Carroll!). Nearing the end of his first full season as a Liverpool player, we are still none the wiser as to whether or not Jordan Henderson is a long term solution for the club. We still don’t know whether or [...]

Our tactical expert Mihail takes an in-depth look at our options on the right flank – and comes up with some interesting possibilities for the short-and medium term. Prior to Steven Gerrard’s return from his long injury lay-off, there were plenty of discussions about his best position and tactical role. It’s been long argued that [...]
Natural width, in a reliable form, has eluded Liverpool for a long time. This summer, Dalglish signed Downing and, in theory, the team’s need had been addressed. But since pulling on the red shirt, Downing has received fierce criticism. The problem is that while Downing does provide width he does not do so in the conventional [...]
By Dan Kennett. In the run-up to the West Brom game and the likely absence of Jamie Carragher, I looked into the record of Skrtel and Agger playing together in the Premier League. The results were promising, even if there was a relatively small sample of games, mainly from January 2011. Most noticeably they have [...]
By Phil Dodds Ah, the Luxury Player. How we abhor and adore him in equal measure. The sultry attitude, the Iberian flair, the alice-band and the greasy hair [stereotyping for artistic effect is OK ! - Ed]. The ability to do things that no other player in the team can, coupled with a frustrating failure to fully [...]
When Liverpool fans think about “hoofing” one player springs to mind more than anyone else. Is this reputation fair or is the player with the 2nd most appearances in our history unfairly singled out? To put it another way and paraphrase Zen philosophy: If Daniel Agger hits a “Long Pass” that doesn’t reach its target, does anyone notice?
Since the last day of the January transfer window, the club-record signing of Andy Carroll has attracted constant criticism. This was not helped by the facile comparisons with Sergio Aguero – a Manchester City signing this summer for a similar fee (officially reported as just shy of £40m). Given Kun’s history and subsequent performances, many [...]

It’s fair to say that Alberto Aquilani divides opinion. In fact in the modern era I’ve rarely known a player to divide the fanbase to such extremes. No less a respected writer than Brian Reade [...]
