Butland will be perfect for Liverpool
It is as clear as night and day that Liverpool need a new goalkeeper, according to stats from Profit Accumulator, who are big players in the matched betting niche. The Champions League final was a tale of a team that desperately needed to win and a team that had been here before. Real Madrid were seeking to win their third consecutive triumph and cement their place in European club football history. Liverpool, on the other hand, were appearing in their …
Man City & Spurs' Mocking of Mo Salah is The Ultimate Compliment
It’s hard to think of a more likeable footballer in the modern game than Mo Salah. When you weight it all up, what is there to possibly dislike about him?
A deeply religious man with great values, he plays the game in exactly right way without an ounce of ego and snide - there is no feigning injury, berating referees or a lack of team ethic.
He has become a sporting icon all around the world after his remarkable feats …
Jordan Henderson's Progress And How It Might Be Halted
After a commanding performance for his country, Jordan Henderson is finally beginning to get the level of recognition he deserves.
Lining up as the midfield linchpin for his country, Henderson has been presented with an excellent opportunity to impress a significantly broader audience and dispel lasting, and indeed frustrating, misconceptions about his game.
For many who don’t watch Liverpool on a weekly basis, Henderson is synonymous with mediocrity, inefficacy and, above all, his sideways passes. Those individuals tend to assume …
Would the 3-5-2 formation suit Liverpool?
Gareth Southgate’s England have been playing a relatively unused and potentially interesting variation of 3-5-2 formation at the World Cup – with a lopsided back three, wing-backs who are multi-faceted and a three-man midfield with only one defensive player in it.
It’s a well-balanced formation that suits England very well. The back three is shielded by Jordan Henderson, but ahead of him, there are four very attacking individuals who are able to link up, drop deep and run in behind. …
Why Divock Origi still has a Part to Play
As Liverpool descend into the usual frenzy of rumours, speculation and leaning on a wall at Melwood (a trend that is worryingly scarce in the Reds’ transfer announcements these days), much has been made of their lack of reserve firepower; a situation amplified by the contract extension given to Rhian Brewster.
Indeed, the news arrived alongside a clamour of “Give the kid a chance” with supporters wanting the next impromptu wonder-talent to make his mark on the Premier League. Even …
Three Young Strikers Battle for Klopp's Attention
Three young forwards. One hoping for a second chance. One trying to hang on to his first. And, one still trying to break into the first team.
DIVOCK ORIGI
Did you ever go away, maybe for a summer holiday or a study abroad and upon your return, instead of getting that expected moment of passion from your significant other, you got that look that says, things have changed? Yeah, me neither, but if it had, I have to assume Divock …
Lovren is Part of the Solution
A Central Midfielder is not just a Central Midfielder. Forward is not just a Forward. Neither is a Centre Back just a Centre Back. They are living, breathing, important pillars on which the entire structure of our team is erected. Each is not just a cog in a mighty machine, but rather are the machine itself. Jürgen Klopp football requires the team to move as one. The ‘freedom of play’ often labelled on Klopp’s attacking players is not down to …
6 Players Who Face A Crucial Summer For Liverpool
While every football fan will be engrossed by the World Cup for the next few weeks, those who weren't chosen for their respective countries to feature in Russia will already be putting in the groundwork ahead of a pivotal summer at Liverpool.
With two new signings already changing the look of Jürgen Klopp's midfield, further summer recruits could put a number of players in a precarious position regarding their role at the club.
Heading into the pre-season campaign without the …
Rhian Brewster Signs New Deal As He Edges Closer To First-Team Picture
Rhian Brewster has agreed his first professional contract with Liverpool according to reports, easing fears over his future.
The 18-year-old has been the source of some speculation in recent weeks, tipped to follow in the footsteps of 20-year-old Leon Bailey and U17 national teammate Jadon Sancho who left Manchester City for Borussia Dortmund by moving to the Bundesliga in a bid to gain regular first-team football. However, Jürgen Klopp and Michael Edwards have worked hard to ensure negotiations ended in …
Lucas Paquetá: Can Liverpool Catch the Carioca Isco?
Last week I wrote an article laying out the possible signings that Liverpool could consider as an alternative to Nabil Fekir. All of them had drawbacks, but my ultimate conclusion was that Thomas Lemar still made the most sense after a year of trying to sign him from Monaco. In the days since, Lemar has signed for Atletico. My second choice would have been Malcom, but he is in negotiations with Inter that are, in all likelihood, too far advanced …
