How Will Liverpool Cope Fighting on Two Fronts?
We're entering the final phase of the season, and four possibilities remain; the agony of another campaign without silverware, victory in a sensational title race, the sweet consolation of Champions League glory or the outright euphoria of landing both.
There's a sense, though, that Liverpool's domestic and continental ambitions are independent, that the Reds might have to sacrifice their hopes in the Champions League to maximise their Premier League chances, especially given the close nature of the race and the …
Would The Reds Take Their Ex Back?
Never go back…
It’s a sentiment echoed by many Liverpool supporters when it comes to those cherished heroes who stabbed them where it hurts most.
As Karl Coppack put it in a piece for this very website, the mental calculation is a very simple one regarding the investment a fan puts into a player: “I’d subscribed to his life. I’d committed. He owed me.”
And Phillipe Coutinho betrayed that commitment, he’d taken the investment of every Liverpool fan and thrown …
"I feel at home" - Alisson reveals he has settled in well on Merseyside
Liverpool's Brazilian international goalkeeper Alisson Becker has said he is loving life on Merseyside since his move from Roma last summer.
Alisson made the big-money move from Roma in Serie A last summer after impressing in his two years in Italy, following his 2016 transfer from Brazilian club Internacional.
Speaking to the official LFC magazine, Alisson revealed that things have gone very well for him in England's north-west so far, both on the pitch and off the pitch.
“I …
Dybala Signing Would Give Klopp the Best Kind of Problem
The transfer rumour merry-go-round is already in full swing and we haven't even got into April yet.
As ever, Liverpool are being linked with a whole host of names to strengthen their squad next season, and one name that keeps coming up is that of Paulo Dybala of Juventus and Argentina fame.
The 25-year-old is undoubtedly a huge talent and would be a welcome addition to any side, and he is a man that has been continually linked to a …
Durability A Key Factor In Liverpool's Success
When you look at Liverpool’s success so far this season, one of the key reasons that the team has played consistently well is the lack of injuries to key players. Joe Gomez and Trent Alexander-Arnold aside, of Liverpool’s main starting XI (or starting X plus one if we’re being fair), nobody has picked up anything more than a minor niggle this season.
And some would say that in that respect, Liverpool have been very lucky. Going through the team, there …
Julian Brandt - The missing link for Liverpool?
It was clear last summer that Liverpool were in search of a creative midfielder. Nabil Fekir was identified as the man to fulfil that role but, as we all know, that deal fell through. Despite having a much-improved defence and showing signs of increased maturity to their play, a lack of creativity from the Liverpool midfield has been all too apparent at various times this season and the answer to that problem could well be Bayer Leverkusen’s, Julian Brandt.

Divock Origi discusses playing his part in Reds squad's push for glory
Liverpool's Belgian striker Divock Origi has spoken about the role he has appeared in for Jurgen Klopp's Reds in recent weeks.
The former Lille player has started just three games in the Premier League this season, however, he has begun to be used more from the bench by Klopp in recent weeks.
No-one will forget Origi's 96th-minute winning goal in the derby at Anfield in early December after coming on as a late substitute.
Origi also scored Liverpool's third goal …
Criticism of Salah Has Gone Predictably Overboard
There was a moment during Liverpool's ugly, nerve-wracking 2-1 win over Fulham on Sunday that epitomised Mo Salah.
As Scott Parker's Championship-heading side launched a dangerous counter-attack in the second half, with players flooding forward, one individual bust a gut more than anyone: Salah.
Liverpool's No.11 raced back to help out his team, playing his part in them eventually clearing the danger and preventing what looked like a potential goal at one point.
It was one gigantic middle finger to …
Sadio Mané's goal at Fulham meant 36-year-old Rush and Dalglish achievement was equalled
Sadio Mané's opening goal in Liverpool's 2-1 win at Fulham last Sunday meant that he and Mohamed Salah had managed to achieve something last managed by club legends Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush, 36 years ago!
As reported in Liverpoolfc.com, Salah and Mané became the first pair of Reds forwards to both reach at least 20 goals each in all competitions for two seasons in a row since 1983.
Last season, Mané scored 20 goals as Liverpool finished fourth in …
What's going on with Xherdan Shaqiri?
Many thought he was almost certain to start against Fulham on Sunday, but when Adam Lallana was included in Klopp's starting XI, the recent whispers around what is going on with Xherdan Shaqiri grew just that little bit louder.
The Alpine Messi was not so long ago enjoying his best spell since joining Liverpool in the summer, scoring six goals and providing two assists in 11 games over the winter period, but his form then seemed to drop and his …
