Wijnaldum
As much as Arsenal fans on the internet will tell you otherwise, the Community Shield is a glorified friendly and its importance should be framed as such. There were, however, some interesting takeaways for Liverpool in their 1-1 draw — and subsequent penalty shootout defeat, again — with the Gunners at Wembley. Namely the switch […]
The Thiago Alcantara to Liverpool links to burn brightly. Simon Hughes of The Athletic, who is well connected to the club, added another dose of kerosene to the rumours when he reported the Reds are “officially” interested in the Spain international midfielder. If the English champions are indeed to prize the former Barcelona linchpin from […]
Gini Wijnaldum doesn’t get the respect he deserves. He’s one of Jurgen Klopp’s most trusted players, he’s played a key part in Liverpool transitioning from top four hopefuls to Premier League winners and he’s the ultimate clutch player for the Reds. Against Boro on the final day of the 2016/17 campaign, Wijnaldum bagged the opener […]
The 2020/2021 fixtures were released last Thursday, the 20th of August. Champions Liverpool begin their title defence at home to newly-promoted Leeds United, before travelling to Chelsea and hosting Arsenal at Anfield in game number three.

It is undeniable that Jurgen Klopp has built one of the best teams in Europe over the past few years. Whether it be bringing in players he has turned into superstars, or young guns that he has brought up through their youth academy, Jurgen has an eye for talent. There have been some questionable transfers, […]
This past week marked the nine-year anniversary of Jordan Henderson’s transfer from Sunderland to Liverpool. From a skinny right-sided midfielder — who admitted to being daunted at sharing the same midfield as Steven Gerrard — to a colossal leader of men, Henderson has come of age at Anfield and is the ideal player to lead […]
If you polled people to ask them the words they most associate with Liverpool’s midfield, the descriptions you would mostly see would be “functional, stodgy, obstinant, no-frills.” While not always the easiest on the eye — although, when asked to play progressively, they can weave pretty patterns and pass through opponents with the build-up to […]
This week marked the five year anniversary of James Milner’s arrival at Liverpool, making the switch from Manchester City on a free transfer. After weeks of speculation as to where the Yorkshireman would end up, it was former boss Brendan Rodgers who managed to persuade Milner to choose Anfield over any other potential destination.
