Tony Evans: It's Time For Mo Salah to Shine
There is no doubt that Mo Salah is a Liverpool great. He has been the cutting edge of the Jurgen Klopp era. Unfortunately, he’s dropped down a gear just at the moment and he needs to step up another level.
We’ve come to expect more than seven goals in half a Premier League season. He’s going to have to double that output in the next 19 games to make qualification for next year’s Champions League a possibility.
But first it’s …
Return to Brighton: The Scene of the Crime
As the old saying goes ‘the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime’. It would be hard to describe Liverpool’s last visit to the AMEX Stadium as anything other than that, in what turned out to be a dismal 3-0 defeat earlier this month. The Reds now have a chance to exercise those demons in the fourth round of the FA Cup this weekend, but travelling fans may well be making the journey in hope rather than expectation. …
Mohamed Salah: Past his best or a victim of the system?
First thing's first: Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest footballers in Liverpool's long and trophy-laden history, regardless of what happens in the future.
Some may even argue that only Sir Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard now lie ahead of him among the pantheon of Reds greats, although age and favouritism will always make for different answers among supporters, which is only natural.
Since joining in the summer of 2017, though, Salah has delivered astonishing numbers at a relentless rate, …

Is Klopp Mishandling Harvey Elliott?
When Liverpool signed Harvey Elliott from Fulham, it came after a long period of monitoring and negotiation. The eventual tribunal resulted in the 16-year-old signing for the Reds for an undisclosed fee, with the deal being deemed a successful acquisition of one of England’s most talented young stars. This type of deal was always supposed to be about recruiting a long-term attacking player, one that would be tasked as the potential long term successor to Mohamed Salah. What we have …
Jesper Lindstrøm Scouted – What to Expect From the Frankfurt Star?
There aren’t a lot of football players in Europe with hotter names than Jesper Lindstrøm at the moment. The 22-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt ace has eight goals to his name so far this season and started twice for Denmark at the World Cup in Qatar.
So, who is the young Danish midfielder, and what could he potentially add to Jürgen Klopp’s struggling Liverpool side?
In Daniel Agger’s footsteps
Growing up in the Western outskirts of Copenhagen in a football mad family, …
Brighton v Liverpool - The FA Cup 4th Round Preview
After the Reds' 3-0 loss away to Brighton two weeks ago, it’s fair to say that this FA Cup match up could be viewed in a couple of different ways. On one hand, it’s a chance for Liverpool to exorcise some of the demons created. On the more realistic hand, it’s perhaps another game where a far more structured team will be able to exploit Liverpool’s ever present deficiencies.
Brighton’s last outing saw them draw 2-2, away to Leicester, …
Could Roberto De Zerbi Be The Long Term Successor To Klopp
I wrote previously how it could be a choice as to who leaves the club first, Jurgen Klopp or FSG. Given the underwhelming result against Chelsea this past weekend, I still think the big German could depart his post, certainly if results were to continue in an unsatisfactory manner. My hope is that the club’s sale process speeds up and something can be done within this January transfer window. If that does not transpire, it could make for a very …
Liverpool 0 - 0 Chelsea - The Post-Mortem
In terms of the result and path to get there, Liverpool were able to look more defensively stable, which resulted in a clean sheet. With only one point gained from a very uneventful game, it appears that this is the stodgy kind of performance that the Reds wanted in order to start regaining control of games.
When looking at the starting line-up, it really was a case of putting out a team that deserved to start. Fabinho looks slow and …
Lessons Learned: Chelsea
A rather uneventful afternoon at Anfield ended goalless against Chelsea, as both sides saw their remaining but limited hopes of champions league qualification take a further dent. In truth, Liverpool deserved nothing more from a game where they offered minimal threat for the majority of the occasion. As both teams take a point and move on, we look at the lessons learned from the early kick-off in a real ninth versus tenth trade-off.SELECTION AVOIDS LOYALTY CLAIMSThere was surprise amongst many …
