Zinedine Zidane looks to his bench and summons Gareth Bale to make an impact. One of a many of players at his disposal who would walk into any starting eleven across Europe.

Liverpool v Huddersfield Preview - Potential Key Battles
A wretched international break filled with injuries is over. For the Liverpool players, it's time to get back on the road, as they get ready to travel to Huddersfield for the late kick-off on Saturday.
Huddersfield are winless in the Premier League, having only managed three draws from their eight games, and against a Liverpool side that hasn't conceded in the league at Anfield since February, there could be few bigger tests for David Wagner's side.
For the Reds, injuries …
Can Momentum Be Liverpool’s Greatest Title Weapon?
No team thrives more with momentum behind them than Liverpool.
We are an emotional fanbase and when things are going well, the Reds can become an unstoppable force, as we have witnessed throughout history.
Using modern examples - I know, football existed well before 1992 - nothing stands out more than 2004/05 in that respect.
Nobody even gave Liverpool the slightest chance of glory in the Champions League that season, with countless teams ahead of them in the favourites' pecking …

Time for Liverpool FC To Show Their Depth
Liverpool have a deeper squad than they have in previous years. This is not a fact that I’m going to dispute, although I’d definitely make (and will make) some arguments that that depth isn’t as deep as maybe it’s being made out in some areas, and certainly hasn’t drastically improved over the summer.
Nevertheless, Klopp has slowly been building a deep and impressive squad that the four acquisitions in the summer have moved relatively close to being a very top …
Adios, Mi Amigo - Almost Time To Say Goodbye to Alberto Moreno
The international break is typically a time for everyone to take a break and recharge the batteries during a long season. The most you can usually hope for during the week off is having all your players return healthy (which rarely happens for Liverpool) and avoiding any bad news. Yet, a piece of Liverpool transfer news dropped on Monday when it was reported that Alberto Moreno would not be getting a new contract with Liverpool and would be allowed to …
An Oxlade-Chamberlain Shaped Hole
Man City’s record-breaking title win last season saw them break the 100 point barrier, scoring 106 goals and falling to just two defeats. Liverpool though proved a barrier too big to overcome.
Jurgen Klopp’s side won three of the four meetings between the two sides last season – with an emphatic 5-0 defeat at the Etihad being the exception.
A 4-3 league win in January was followed up by a romping 3-0 win in the Champions League quarter-final first-leg before …
"I Can't Watch" - Why Vlog at Anfield?
We are all mad about football because of the ecstasy and euphoria that goes with it. The inevitable comedowns are toppled by the highs. And those highs are the best kind.
We remember them and cherish them. Just like most substances, they only give us an appetite for more. You could call it an addiction to the jubilation and the affliction.
However, among the like-minded majority arise the space cadets, especially with the help of social media.
In the hours …
Liverpool Need A Playmaker
On-ball (in possession)
Off-ball (out of possession)
Transition (between possession)
These are the three phases of football. Liverpool are without a doubt one of, if not the best team in the world in transition, that is, the moment in which a team transfers from a defensive shape to an attacking one, or vice-versa. The speed at which Liverpool move from a defensive shape into an offensive one is overwhelming for most sides. Immediately, the players rush into space, ahead of the …
Is the Bobby Dazzler Really a Striker?
In mid-June of 2015, it was reported by multiple media sources, both in England and abroad, that Manchester United had agreed to sign an up-and-coming Brazilian midfielder, Roberto Firmino, for a fee of around £13m from German club, 1899 Hoffenheim. The action-packed style of the young man had some of the Europe’s top scouts salivating into their Bratwurst and a move to Old Trafford had been touted for some time.
His agent, Robert Wittman, put the brakes on the Red …
