The Red Socks Diaries: Lucas Leiva: The Road to Redemption
http://joescouse.blogspot.com/2011/08/lucas-leiva-road-to-redemption.html
Monday, 22 August 2011. Lucas Leiva: The Road to Redemption. And so you touch this limit, something happens and you suddenly can go a little bit further. With your mind power, your determination, your instinct, and the experience as well, you can fly very high.". Minute of his first big test, replacing Mascherano in the starting line up against Arsenal, Lucas made a terrible blunder that set Adebayor racing towards goal. Luckily, Liverpool got away with it, but first impressions last. Following his perfo...

Thursday, 19 January 2012. Through The Fog: What Makes Liverpool FC Unique. In the wake of weeks of PR turmoil for the Liverpool FC, with the Suarez race scandal and the abuse of a black player at Anfield confounded by a national press with an anti-Liverpool agenda, us fans did what we do best. We came together as one. There are a lot of comments made mocking the so-called “LFC Family” on Twitter, but that is the best way to describe how thousands of Liverpool fans have united behind this com...Over the ...

The Red Socks Diaries: Suarez’s Old Friends Show His New Employers What Loyalty Means
http://joescouse.blogspot.com/2012/02/suarezs-old-friends-show-his-new.html
Friday, 17 February 2012. Suarez’s Old Friends Show His New Employers What Loyalty Means. After a week in which Luis Suarez was left to walk alone by the power base of his current club, it was some old friends who showed the unreserved loyalty and support that he should have got from Fenway Sports Group and the Liverpool FC board. During his spell at Ajax, Suarez scored 81 goals in 110 games, was awarded the captaincy of the club at the age of 22 and joined the likes of Cruyff, van Basten and Bergkamp in...

Thursday, 10 November 2011. Exclusive Interview with Lucas Leiva. Here is the exclusive English version of Lucas Leiva's recent interview with LFC Brasil. Going straight to the questions, how was it for you when you knew Liverpool were interested in signing you? What were your expectations? 2) Much is said about how difficult it is for Brazilians to adapt to life in England, and it is well known that you had a difficult start both on and off the pitch. Did it help having Fabio Aurelio around? A: Rafa Ben...

The Red Socks Diaries: The Changing Shape of LFC's Revenue Model
http://joescouse.blogspot.com/2012/04/changing-shape-of-lfcs-revenue-model.html
Sunday, 22 April 2012. The Changing Shape of LFC's Revenue Model. The 2012 Deloittes Money League was recently published, and there were some interesting numbers for Liverpool fans. We continued to slide down the Money League table, falling behind Inter Milan into 9th place (our 2009 high point was 7th). Here is Deloittes 5 year view of our total revenues:. What is really interesting is how the revenue model is changing. Here is how things look in a snap shot:. Next year's accounts will show a further sh...

Sunday, 25 March 2012. Why Does Carroll Keep Getting Dropped? Liverpool are a much more effective team with Andy Carroll than they are without him. That is not an opinion, it is a fact. For proof, take a look at the following chart, showing our results when he does and doesn't start:. Liverpool Performances With and Without Carroll Starting. So, if it is not his performances on the pitch that are getting him dropped, what is it? Carroll has yet to start more than four consecutive games for Liverpool....

Thursday, 30 August 2012. Brendan Rodgers: Early Impressions. When Brendan Rodgers gave his first press conference as Liverpool manager, it was faultless. His respect for the traditions of the club, his honesty about his “short career” and his infectious drive and determination bought him the good will of even the most sceptical fans. He summed it up like this:. Rodgers has been too honest with the media when it comes to transfers and, in some press conferences, he has shown a small club mentality. H...

Saturday, 16 June 2012. New Anfield: A Response to John W Henry. The likelihood of Liverpool getting a new stadium has taken a massive step backwards following an interview given by John Henry to The Anfield Wrap. He states that “no one has ever addressed whether a new stadium is rational” and then sets out an argument built around it being economically irrational for the new stadium to be built. The full interview is available here:. Et’s analyse the two clubs to see where this extra revenue comes...

The Red Socks Diaries: December 2011

Wednesday, 21 December 2011. Legal Hypocrisy in the Terry and Suarez Race Rows. The two biggest football racism scandals in recent years have been, and will be, tried in very different ways. The FA have obviously gone down the civil law route with Suarez in coming to their judgement. Immediately you can see the unfairness in relation to how the Terry matter has been dealt with. 50.1% certainty to 99% certainty is a very big step indeed. Terry will appear in a Magistrates court to try to clear his name...

The Red Socks Diaries: West Brom v Liverpool: Carroll & Suarez
http://joescouse.blogspot.com/2011/10/west-brom-v-liverpool-carroll-suarez.html
Monday, 31 October 2011. West Brom v Liverpool: Carroll and Suarez. It may surprise some people to hear that prior to the West Brom game, with just one exception, Andy Carroll has been on the pitch every time Luis Suarez has scored this season. Another remarkable stat is that they have only started 10 games together in 10 months. Their time together on the pitch has therefore been both fruitful and brief. This movement from Suarez takes full advantage of the poor positional play from McAuley, leaving Ols...
