Comparing seasons: 2012-13 – How did we do?
ANOTHER season draws to a close and this is perhaps one of the hardest ones to judge in recent times. Frustrating would be too simplistic a summary of the season and mundane mediocrity is too harsh on a team that pulverised opponents on so many occasions. Equally, we all know that it wasn’t a great [...]

Warriors v Prima Donnas: A Contrast of Sports Cultures
THE dead of winter doesn’t hold a candle to the dead of summer if you’re a Liverpool, Premier League, or football fan living in North America. Although, in Canada, the temperature may dip to minus 40 degrees Celsius in January, those of us who live for European football can expect some amelioration in the form [...]

Fit for the defence of LFC?
THROUGHOUT this long season that’s just come to an end, Liverpool have had problems in different areas of the pitch. Some of these problems have been more severe than others and some were addressed through the January transfer window. One area that needs work going forward is the back line; especially now after Liverpool Football [...]

Rodgers lauds new star: ‘His numbers tell you the story’
BRENDAN Rodgers’ admiration of January signing Philippe Coutinho’s impact on Liverpool football club has today been circulating around the internet, with Rodgers believing that the Brazilian is only just getting started and that there is a lot more to come.

Liverpool ‘close’ to agreeing a deal for La Liga striker
LIVERPOOL FC are close to agreeing a deal for Celta Vigo striker Iago Aspas, report the Mirror. The 25 year-old was allegedly subject to interest from Chelsea and Reading in January, who were both unwilling to meet the Spaniard’s €10 million release clause. With Celta Vigo dwelling in the utter depths of the Liga BBVA, [...]

Papa is the preferred option
THE tabloids were all over it this week when news broke about Kolo Toure’s apparently imminent departure from Manchester City for Liverpool. If that one turns out to be true, then they deserve a small amount of credit for getting that one right seemingly out of nowhere. Toure is a decent footballer and a solid [...]

Encourage Ibe, but don’t forget Sterling
JORDAN Ibe made a good first impression on his debut in Carra’s final game for Liverpool FC. But that was all it was, a good first impression. The 17 year old former Wycombe Wanderers starlet has been impressing in the youth ranks with his pace, directness, trickery and goal scoring. Along with other young attacking [...]

Reds move for Papadopoulos
REPORTS in today’s Liverpool Echo indicate that Liverpool have lined up Kyriakos Papadopoulos as their number one defensive target for the summer. The Greek international has replaced Swansea’s Ashley Williams at the top of Brendan Rodgers hit list and the club are preparing a £12m bid for the Schalke centre-back. The 21 year old has [...]

Match Report: LIVERPOOL FC 1 v QPR 0
ON 18th January 1997, a scrawny young Scouser named Jamie Carragher made his full debut at Anfield. He marked the occasion with a headed goal at the Kop end. Scruffy in appearance and equally rough in terms of footballing style, the youngster stood out more in terms of his cockiness and confidence rather than his [...]

Kolo Toure – worth the gamble?
RUMOURS of a potential move for Manchester City’s Ivorian centre-back Kolo Toure have caught fire in the past few days with some respected media outlets suggesting that the former Arsenal defender is even pencilled in for a medical at Melwood ahead of a free transfer. With Toure’s contract running out in the summer, it seems [...]

Five Things I Want For Next Season
WITH Liverpool’s season now finally over, it’s not hard for the mind to start slipping quickly forward to the summer and what’s in store for next season. Sadly, for most of us Reds, that’s been the story of the past 4 years: there’s always next season. I wrote a few days ago that I feel [...]

LFC must build on strong finish
THIS season’s finally over, and Liverpool have finished 7th in the league. But it’s perhaps more important now to maintain a bit of continuity in the side with regards to the performances of those who have been doing well, and this on top of further developing those who’ve been found wanting. This seems a bit [...]

Thanks for the memories Carra
I have had a personal affinity with Jamie Carragher all the way through his career. I was there on his Anfield debut against Aston Villa. I’ll never forget him booting Andy Townsend in the air after 22 seconds of that match, and he scored with a header from a corner in front of the Kop [...]

The way forward: Next season and beyond
THE season has just ended and Jamie Carragher is played his final game for Liverpool FC – befittingly as captain, at Anfield. Ever since I heard about his decision to retire after this season I had fantasised about him scoring the injury-time winner in front of The Kop; the goal that squeezes us past Arsenal [...]

LIVERPOOL’S American chairman Tom Werner has expressed his admiration for Liverpool icon Jamie Carragher, saying he wished that he would play on for one final season. But, as Carragher opted against this proposition, Werner insists that he will always have a place for the centre-back at Liverpool. The 35 year old will play at Anfield [...]

Jamie Carragher: Every Teacher’s Dream Student
WRITING about Jamie Carrgher gives me a lot of pleasure. I’m not a sentimental person at the best of times, but I am going to shed a little tear this week, and not because Carra is one of the finest, most consistently loyal professionals of any modern football club, but because, throughout the years, he [...]

Make or break transfers, and shaping next season’s squad

Can Suarez and Sturridge really function together?
FOUR months into his career at Anfield and Daniel Sturridge has all but endeared himself to the Liverpool faithful with his direct style of play, touch of nonchalance and eye for the spectacular. Notching up 10 goals in his 10 appearances for the Reds in the process, making him the fastest ever player in the [...]

What next for Shelvey?
IT seems strange to say but, after nearly three years on Merseyside and 66 appearances for Liverpool, it appears that no one knows at this stage quite what Jonjo Shelvey is capable of. Still aged just 21, he is currently a young player of promise but one who is incredibly frustrating. His physique is impressive, [...]

Suarez, Liverpool, and a step in the right direction
LUIS Suarez is a microcosm of the modern football world. He is subject to hyperbole over his sorcery with a ball at his feet and then vilified in a press frenzy for his misdemeanours. He exemplifies the intensity of feeling about the beautiful game, being compared to Maradona one week then chastised by a Prime [...]

Liverpool’s perfect new Libero?
WATCHING Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard diligently getting on the ball a massive 100 times on derby day got me thinking.

LIVERPOOL boss Brendan Rodgers has commended defender Martin Skrtel’s attitude after what has been a very challenging time for him.

However, despite [...]

GEORDIE Messiah and former Liverpool FC star Kevin Keegan has urged the Reds to sign ‘a proper centre-forward’, after selling Andy Carroll this summer.

LIVERPOOL recorded a surprisingly entertaining 3-1 victory against Fulham at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Andy Carroll: Property Empire or return to the Kingdom?
LUIS Suarez has bitten the dust for the first six games of next season and now the door is open for someone. Could that someone be Andy Carroll? From the start I have always maintained that Mr Rodgers didn’t give Mr Carroll a chance. He has not given a £35m investment a chance to succeed. [...]
