I thought I would add a World Cup thread to the site so we can comment on the action and in particular on the performance of those Liverpool players who are participating and those with whom we are linked. So far it has been an enjoyable competition with some stunning goals and at least one brilliant game,Spain v Prtugal (or should that be Spain v Ronaldo) I thought Lovren had a very solid first game for Croatia though Nigeria were poor and hardly tested him. Henderson continued his good…

When it first emerged that Karius had been sent to get tested for concussion by the club I, like many others, thought it was an exercise in detoxifying his reputation after his disastrous display in the Champions League final. However, after reviewing the footage of the incident between Ramos and Karius and reading numerous expert opinions I've become…
Fabinho's combination of character and ability make Jürgen Klopp delighted with Liverpool's agreement to sign the midfielder from AS Monaco.
The 24-year-old will join the Reds on July 1 after 225 appearances and 29 goals for the French club, with whom he won the Ligue 1 title in 2016-17.
Was Salah nobbled?
I'm going to say something controversial but hear me out before you string me up from the nearest tree - I don't think the MAIN intention of Ramos was to put Salah out of the game. Even though his reputation would suggest it was perfectly possible that Ramos meant to nobble Salah I don't think the sequence of events and where they took place on the pitch point to that being the obvious conclusion,…
This is quite a long article by Melissa Reddy called 'From Hong Kong to Kiev: At the end of the storm, there's a golden sky... The inside story of how Jurgen Klopp weathered the worst to lead Liverpool into the Champions League final' (…
Liverpool have released a statement on the fitness of Joe Gomez:
'Liverpool can confirm Joe Gomez has undergone an operation on an ankle injury.
The surgery, which has now addressed the issue, means the 20-year-old will play no part in the remaining two fixtures of…
He has signed a four year deal to be their next Gaffer. A huge gamble for him and he needs all the luck with it. However, the quality of Scottish football is so poor and he could have started his managerial career in one of the lower divisions in English Football instead. For example, there are many good managers that started in the lower leagues, Chris Hughton, Eddie Howe, Sean Dyche, etc. I wish Stevie G all the best with his new career and to be honest I don’t want him to manage Liverpool…
While the media is awash with the names of possible new signings for next season Jurgen Klopp has managed to get what is probably the most important signature of the lot. So important is Roberto Firmino to his dynamic attacking force that his agreement to a new longterm contract is something to really celebrate. We've been fortunate that Firmino has…
I'm not sure whether the job of Liverpool kit designer is the easiest or hardest in the world. On the one hand you just have to pick a shade of red and add a few lines here and there, but on the other hand it must be…

The Liverpool defence is a funny thing. Depending on who you talk to it is either a 'clown car', as one Spurs supporting historian keeps calling it, or a juggernaut that's slowly building momentum. Many of us are still undecided because it's difficult to get an objective assessment of our back line. That's why when I saw a table of statistics regarding our centre backs, published just before we played Everton, I kept hold of it. It makes interesting reading:…
Manure 3, City 2. What a game, what a result! The all conquering confidence of City has taken a big hit. Two losses in consecutive games will surely have an effect on their performance! We should send the special one a fitting gift in appreciation. Something in the mode of a cake with a measure of quick acting laxative! Seriously, a better outcome could not be envisioned. We must go into Tuesday's game with the approach that we are going to fight an alpha dog who wants to reassert his…
I've got to be honest, I was somewhat taken aback when I read this paragraph taken from an interview with Emre Can in the German publication 'Suddeutsche Zeitung' this week.
"Sure, the Bundesliga would interest me, why not? Although I must say honestly that the level has waned in recent years. The Premier League has the power to spend more money on players than the Bundesliga. This is very, very important for players. I have the self-confidence to say that my…
Sevilla 2, Manure 1. Enough said! (he, he)! YNWA!
Ive just seen the footage of this, what the hell was he thinking, what a disgusting thing to do. Provacation is no excuse, i'd much rather someone punch me than spit at me, i think it's one of the most vile thing's one human can do too another. He's let himself, the club and the people of liverpool down bigtime in my opinion, his job at sky must surely be at risk, shame on you Carra.
Two blogs in three days - going for a record. If or when Can leaves for a more pleasant clime, LFC will be in need of a defensive midfielder. Someone who can break up enemy forays into our final third, excellent passer to the front three to initiate attacks, and has a cannon of a right foot. I realize half (if not all) of you will think I'm going crazy, but why not Jonjo Shelvy? He seems to have found his mojo at Newcastle and…
For the Past Two years and 4 (?) transfer windows, I have openly questioned JK's transfer policy at every turn. Why hasn't he rid himself of Moreno and Lovern? Where is the DM that everyone wants? Why build a team from the front to the back? Everyone knows defense wins championships. Sell.Coutinho in January, just before the CL final 16? Madness! Managerial ineptitude! Sheer folly and stupidity on an epic scale! I went on, ranting and raving to my hearts content and thank God, it…
The FA has said:
Following a detailed investigation into an allegation of discriminatory conduct against Liverpool’s Roberto Firmino by Everton’s Mason Holgate, The FA can confirm that it will not be taking any disciplinary action against Firmino.
The decision
Having considered all of the available evidence, we consider it is not sufficient to raise a charge against Firmino. However, we are…
I'm getting really hacked of with penalties being given for the slightest touch, you can wrestle someone in the box at a corner or free kick and nothings given yet the merest touch with a boot or goalkeepers little finger and the usual suspects go down as idf they have been poleaxed.Then on football shows after they are lauded by the pundits for being clever and fooling the referee. So lets call a spade a spade its not cleverness its CHEATING.
