April: All or Nothing
Come the 1st August, Liverpool will be desperately hoping they’re not looking like fools as they get set to face Manchester City after the international break. With the business end of the season now read to swing into gear, there can’t be anymore false dawns if what has been a shitshow of a season on every level is to yield anything for the Reds. With a tough run of fixtures, injury concerns for multiple players and a chastening beginning, it …
Levi Colwill & The Left Sided Addition
The evolution of systems and formations come about every few years. Some coaches will persevere with their trusted ideologies, whereas others will fall on their sword, in a desperate bid to stand their ground. During this disastrously poor season for Liverpool FC, transition is the word that has been uttered nearly as much as Jude, with both keenly sought this coming summer. With the flip of a coin likely to decide the reds Champions League qualification (for next season), it …
Scouting Report: Evan Ndicka
Jurgen Klopp is known to be a fan of working with a smaller squad, so players that can offer versatility in multiple positions have always been popular with him. FSG love value, so if there’s no transfer fee then even better for them. In this scouting report, we look at a player that can fulfil a lot of the defensive requirements that Liverpool currently have whilst still leaving funds available to invest in other areas. Shopping in the bargain basement …
Scouting Report: Adrien Rabiot
Some players' reputation can proceed them. Whether it’s positive previous performances or worrying off-the-field activities, it can be difficult to change some fans' pre-judgements. In this scouting report, we look at a player that on the surface appears great value and possesses many of the attributes that Liverpool will be looking for come the summer. However, the name maybe goes before him and all issues and concerns could relate to series of incidents and even family members. The links have …
Should Jordan Henderson Retire from International Football?
In terms of modern-day football and essentially when representing an elite footballing club, it’s important to know when to manage the rigours of top tier competition. The likes of Jamie Carragher, Paul Scholes, and James Milner, all brought their international tenures to an early halt in order to add longevity to their domestic careers. There are of course certain individuals who are determined to hold onto both pursuits, with some of the world’s greatest ever players doing so to good …
Renewing James Milner Is a Step Backwards
Another year goes by, which brings us to the moment where James Milner is primed to be given yet another 1 year’s contract extension.
I’m a fan of James Milner, as I believe he has a superb attitude for football, can offer vast experience (to younger players) and can be a senior presence on the training ground. For the last two years, I have wanted Adrián to have his own contract renewed, as it offered a great level training …
Which Of England’s Current Squad Should LFC Target?
With the international break just about at a close, it has perhaps offered a little more insight into how England will build for the next major tournament. The European Championships are in June 2024; therefore the next 15 months will be about players solidifying their spots in that future squad. Some players, like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez, will be fighting to get back into reckoning, whereas the likes of Curtis Jones & Harvey Elliott may hold a desire to …
Scouting Report: Perr Schuurs
For all the talk of the desperate need for midfield numbers, most reds are keen to see at least one defensive reinforcement come through the door at Anfield this summer. With Joe Gomez and Joel Matip both less than certain of their places with Jurgen Klopp, a centre back option is high on the wish list of many. In this scouting report, we take a look at a player that’s been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent times …
Could Michael Edwards Be Part of INEOS / United Bid?
Investment, transfers and off-the-field matters are dominating discussion during another turgid international break and it’s understandable as to why. With talk of FSG and Liverpool seeking or being close to a minority investment, the rest of the football world has been casting its eyes down the East Lancs road and watching developments closely. Whilst not wanting to talk in great depth about our rivals aside from the 7-0 humiliation in March, there have been murmurs of a former Liverpool incumbent …
Scouting Report: Ryan Gravenberch
Youthful, energetic, highly-touted for some time, playing in the Bundesliga and looked at by all of the big clubs in Europe. It’s not only Jude Bellingham that fits that description of midfielders that Liverpool are rumoured to be looking at currently. Having previewed Manu Kone in the past, this scouting report looks at a player linked with Anfield for some time, but seemingly back on the radar due to a strange occurrence of events. This one seems like very much …
