There’s a new song for Luis Diaz – “His name is Lucho!”

There’s a new song for Luis Diaz and it’s an absolute hit.
The song, compiled by local singer Andy Hodgson, was played ahead of Saturday’s Brentford game at the popular Taggy’s Bar and received a huge response.
He pays tribute to the Reds’ number 23 by mentioning his hometown of Barrancas and his arrival from Porto last January.
Sung to the tune of the Italian protest song ‘Bella Ciao’ and inspired by the recent Celtic fan adaptation, it’s sure to be in the Liverpool songbook.
Here are the lyrics:

His name is Lucho
He came from Porto
He came to score
Came to score
Came in to score, score, score
He is Luis Diaz
He comes from Barrancas
Now he plays for Liverpool
Na na na na na

We’re sure it won’t be long before it airs on the Kop, but with just one home game this season – against Aston Villa on May 20 – it could be a song that has become synonymous with the season. next. Last season we had Jota’s song ‘He wears number 20’ and ‘Jurgen told me you know’ as new soundtracks for the Reds’ campaign.
Good luck getting that out of your head after listening!

History shows Liverpool must start fast – the season depends on it

Recent history suggests that Liverpool are maintaining their fast starts. Aaron Cutler explains why it’s so important for the Reds to have a high level this time around.
Liverpool have gone from four chases to hopeless hopelessness in six short and inexplicable months. While a strong ending made the campaign somewhat respectable, it was unquestionably a failure.

The investigation had begun even before the final whistle in Southampton.
Jurgen Klopp and his staff spent all summer poring over the details to find out exactly what went wrong.
The contributing factors are numerous and painful, but as we go into 2023/24 one thing is certain: Liverpool need to start early.

History tells us so much. In the Premier League era, the Reds have rarely proven to be good chasers.
In fact, our best seasons came when we landed the traps quickly. We rarely recover from a slow start.
Take last year for example: everything from fatigue to transfers was blamed for the disappointing performance, but it was a slow start that set off a downward spiral.

Klopp’s Liverpool had to compete with almost victorious Man City. The only way to do this seems to be to win almost every game.
When 97 points proved insufficient to clinch the title in 2018/19, the modern Red Machine bounced back the following season, winning 26 of their first 27 games.

This achievement, which is both astonishing and unequaled, is not given enough importance. This will certainly not happen again in the Premier League.
This mindset ended, or at least broke, Man City’s dominance. However, it was both the making and the failure of Klopp’s first big team at Liverpool.
This is because the pressure that turns into waiting to win every game leads to a different kind of backlash when you fail.
Having collected just one point from their opening three games last season, it’s no exaggeration to think that many at Anfield would have conceded the title privately.

A month into the season, they were vying to be bridesmaid rather than bride.
Good or bad affects motivation. As coveted as it is, there is no trophy for fourth place.
The Reds, Rodgers and the recovery…
2022/23 is not exactly an outlier.
Modern-era Liverpool squads have almost always failed to shake themselves off after a slow start.

Since English clubs claimed four Champions League places for the first time, the Reds have finished in the top four thirteen times. Although they failed to average two or more points per game in their first ten games, they only managed to do so four times.
In other words, they hate catching up.
Many seasons expired before the fall. This is especially true when expectations have been high.

Brendan Rodgers’ last full season as coach is a good, or rather a bad example. A disappointing 14 points from the first 30 available left us in seventh place, a comfortable 12 points behind eventual champions Chelsea.
We bounced back in the spring before a controversial home loss to Man United resulted in a frankly pathetic end to the season, ushered in by a 6-1 humiliation at Stoke.

Liverpool finished sixth and Rodgers didn’t last much longer.
The manager’s debut season is also worth analyzing, if only because it represented a sort of rebuild that we could look back on.

Surprisingly, Liverpool have collected just 11 of the first 30 points offered this season and won zero at the end of September. They were twelfth at the time, already 13 points clear of leaders Man United and six behind fourth-placed Everton.

Rodgers’ young team reunited after Christmas, but could only move up to seventh place.
In both cases we set the tone for the season and left too much to do.
Rafa Benitez’s reign ended due to domestic politics, but his fate was largely sealed by a slow start to the 2009/10 season.

Last season, his Liverpool side amassed 26 points from the top 30 on offer to give them a real chance at the title in May. Fast forward 12 months and that total had dropped from 30 to 18. They sat fifth after 10 games, six points behind champion-elect Chelsea.
Benitez and Liverpool would limped to seventh place before parting ways.
