Football articles and questions on the Premier League Club, Liverpool
"Liverpool planning sensational late triple swoop!" was just one of the misleading headlines this summer. FSG were never going to spend huge sums of money this summer. A leopard does not change its spots. Over the past few transfer windows, FSG have kept their net spend extremely low, and have even made a profit in…
There's something in the game known as 'doing a Juventus'. What that means is selling a prized asset in order to strengthen the whole side. They did it last summer, selling Pogba to Manchester United for £100 million and then bringing in Pjanic from Roma to ably replace him, Higuain from Napoli and Dani Alvez…
This month, Jose Mourinho moved heaven and earth to land what many see as the key piece to his summer transfer campaign. Defensive Midfielder Nemanja Matic arrived from Chelsea against the wishes of Antonio Conte and already began receiving plaudits in the defeat to Real Madrid. Last season, Conte himself moved heaven and earth to…
Massively overrated as a winger Pathetic final ball Way too few goals Barely tracks back to cover team mates Mired in a team going nowhere Massive overconfidence Weirdly somehow a cult hero among fans Would leave in a heartbeat for an offer from Spain Seriously what do people see in Sadio Mane? (Pic unrelated)
Honestly where would this boy be if he wasn't picked up by Liverpool and brought through. When we found him the boy was scampering around the fucking advertising hoardings with the ball on the half mown cow fields of Serie A with an Inter side still in freefall from dizziness the 20 minutes of success…
1. Paul Pogba Having joined on a then world record fee, Pogba strained to convince in his early days with Manchester United. In fairness to the Frenchman, it caused many to overlook a barnstorming season where he immediately proved himself among the highest performers in the league. With Matic alongside him this season, Pogba is…
By John Boyne 29 goals conceded in the league last season. Mourinho manged to instill confidence in a team struggling from three years of poor management. 29 goals. That's quite incredible. When the Portuguese coach took over last summer, he was determined to make United a force to be feared once again. This included making…
Carrick v Henderson. Both club captains,. Both England internationals. Both accomplished, combative midfielders. Carrick and Henderson have been there and done it. Both players played a similar number of games in the Premier League last season, so it should give a good insight. Now, with both players leading teams into a Premier League title battle…
Man Utd V Liverpool. Champions League Final. Would there be any greater match? Better, more passionate sets of fans? We don't think so. Will it happen next season? Stranger things have happened. But, hypothetically, if you were to pick a forward from either team's history... who would it be? Man Utd V Liverpool: Champions…
Steven Gerrard and Wayne Rooney dedicated the majority of their careers to playing in red. Both are certified heroes of their clubs and legends of the game. Their impact on the fortunes of Liverpool and Man United cannot be understated. Now that both players have left their beloved clubs, it feels only right to ask…
Both players have just made big money moves to two of the Premier League's prestige sides. The Egyptian and Belgian will both hope challenge for honours next season. Both are considered flops with the current champions, Chelsea, but have excelled since elsewhere. They've got something to prove and the ability to prove it. But who's…
Bailly V Lovren. Two unexpected smash hit centre backs for two of the biggest clubs in the game. Both growing throughout their debut seasons into pillars of their sides. Bailly joined Manchester United from Villareal with a reputation among fans of La Liga. Playing at centre as well as right back, the Ivorian is till…
Luke Shaw V James Milner: On the face of things not a contest between two similar players, though they both played left back last season. One is still a relatively young talent, exploding out of Southampton, signed by Manchester United for a huge fee. He's fighting to make his name against the doubters and injuries.…
Henrikh Mkhitaryan arrived at Manchester United with one of the most dazzling reputations in German football. The Armenian midfielder enjoyed a stellar few seasons with Dortmund before making the leap to the Premier League. He joined a team in flux, took a little time to settle himself, but came up with some hugely impressive performances,…
This season, Christian Eriksen became part of a formidable title challenge with Spurs, making himself a key player alongside Deli Alli and Wanyama in the Tottenham midfield. Coutinho's Liverpool didn't manage to maintain such a strong challenge but the two players, alongside, Hazard, Ozil and a few more, remain the most potent attacking midfielders in…
United didn’t work out. Sloppy seconds with Chelsea went even worse. Could it be third time lucky with Liverpool? Bear with me. Falcao to Liverpool isn't an insane idea. Critics will argue that two failed stints in the English game show the Colombian is not cut out for the Premier League. That argument is not…
At Anfield, it hasn't been a terribly happy Premier League title challenge. Injuries, loss of form and key moments have deflated what seemed a promising year. How would you change things up for next season? Vote for 3 of these players and see who the real fans think should be playing in front of the…
Such is the love between Liverpool and United fans, it seems only right to ask this question. How many United players would get in to the Liverpool team? Klopp has seemingly transformed the Merseyside club. It's early days, but their start has been extremely impressive. United, on the other hand, have been a little hit and…
No sane person should be making predictions after only 6 games of the season. Unless, that is, you have Sane in your team. We apologise for the pun. Liverpool have started the season in impressive fashion. 13 points from 6 games is an excellent return. When you consider that they have played Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea away,…
What would it mean for the game if the powers that be turned around and ruled that each city, and related district, was from this point forward only allowed one team. One football team per city. I mean aside from the impossibility of actually merging disparate corporate entities that teams actually are, with holdings and…
