Anfield still offers a night out like no other
There is clearly something in the water when it comes to European nights at Anfield. Liverpool are far from being the only football club to boast a rich and illustrious history, but few can claim to have matched their efforts on a continental stage.

What Do Liverpool FC Need To Do To Get Back To The Top of The Premiership?
We don’t need to remind Liverpool FC fans that this season’s campaign hasn’t gone quite to plan.

Everton FC: CARLO’S TACTICAL NOUSE AS THE BLUES ARE BACK IN THE HOUSE
Matt Bigley reflects on Everton’s season so far as we head into the busy Christmas period. It’s been a strange season up to now, there is no denying that.

Liverpool FC: A Tough Few Weeks For The Red Half of Merseyside
Once again it feels as if so much has happened in a few short weeks for Liverpool FC in the Premier League, although it has to be said that things seem very different for all of the teams this time round.

Everton FC: Reality Check For Depleted Toffees
I ended my last article stating we were going to win the league (albeit jokingly) so I feel our recent change in fortunes is somewhat my fault, however, I couldn’t deny the media that commendation. That Derby Day ‘Incident’ I want to start by analysing the infamous derby. Granted, we were nowhere near our best and that lot played the best they had all season, so its credit to our resilience that we got a…

Everton FC: Nil Satis, Cause For Optimism
Well Blues, it’s not been bad at all, has it? 4 games into the Premier League season and we’re flying, quite literally, as high as can be, but being Evertonians, we aren’t delusional to think ‘its our year’. Sure, don’t get me wrong I’m as confident as the next person to believe we can finish as high as we ever have since the inception of the league in 1992, but, as I’ve said, we’re 4…

Why, despite sneers from afar, Everton’s summer transfer strategy represents a welcome change in approach
Everton kick off their 20-21 season campaign against Spurs, Sunday 13 September. Ask 20 Evertonians for their pick from the assortment of nadirs last season and you will likely get 20 different answers. Either of the two derby debacles across Stanley Park will get a mention. As will the limp defeats to each of the three newly-promoted sides, the Black Country bruising Wolves dished out or the tame surrender at Stamford Bridge. Quite literally, there…
