Tear your eyes away from the relentless, but a brilliant, stream of Champions League content flying out of Liverpool FC’s social media and you’ll quickly realise the football season is rapidly approaching. With it, and the recently renewed title of European Champion comes the weight of expectation. But where should expectations lie? Media outlets and […]
After a tiring but ultimately thrilling season, Liverpool are almost ready to go again. A number of players will return to Melwood for pre-season training next week, as preparations for another huge campaign begin for Jurgen Klopp and his staff. It’s been a relatively silent summer on the transfer front so far, barring the addition […]
The 2018/19 season has been over for a couple of weeks now, and it’s been a full month since the Premier League finished, so it seems like a good time to reflect on what was an absolutely scintillating campaign for Liverpool. Now, I wanted this list of moments to be a bit different for a […]
So in part one of this series, I wrote about Liverpool’s top five moments in their Premier League season, from my perspective. With the UCL, it’s maybe a little easier, and at the same time, a little harder, to produce a top five. On the one hand, it’s very easy because there are pretty much […]
The 29-year-old Croatian defender has slipped down the pecking order at the club over the past season. Long term injury and the performances of Joe Gomez and more recently Joel Matip have meant Lovren currently occupies the space of fourth choice centre back With the summer transfer window almost upon us rumours are beginning to […]
I found myself watching England in the UEFA Nations League third-place playoff last weekend – a pretty sad state of affairs. When your Sunday looks empty on the social front and no other ‘proper’ football is on, it’s (just about) better than nothing, though. The standout figure as the Three Lions edged out Xherdan Shaqiri’s […]
There’s been an unrivalled amount of chatter surrounding the future of Ajax’s Matthijs de Ligt in recent weeks, with plenty of rumours linking him with a move to Anfield. However, reports in the past 48 hours seem to point toward the Dutch wonder kid joining PSG. There’s also talk of Liverpool making moves for Lille’s […]
The dust hasn’t yet settled on Liverpool’s sixth Champions League final win in Madrid, which you can tell from the fact that I keep getting tingles every time I write that god damn sentence. But in any case, the speculation has, naturally, turned to what Liverpool are going to do next in the transfer market. […]
Virgil Van Dijk has been not just one of Liverpool’s best players this season, but one of if not the best player in England. His deserved triumph at the PFA Player of the Year awards, coupled with the fact that he’s now a realistic contender for the Ballon D’Or, means that he is swimming in […]
Define ignominious: Liverpool’s 4-1 defeat away to Tottenham in October 2017. That dank autumn afternoon was Jurgen Klopp’s nadir as Reds manager, at a time when the first few doubts were creeping on about this most charismatic of men. While he wasn’t under the kind of pressure many managers find themselves under at low points, […]
