Gomez: The Reason LFC Don't Need a Superstar Centre-Back
I found myself watching England in the UEFA Nations League third-place playoff last weekend - a pretty sad state of affairs.
When your Sunday looks empty on the social front and no other 'proper' football is on, it's (just about) better than nothing, though.
The standout figure as the Three Lions edged out Xherdan Shaqiri's Switzerland was Trent Alexander-Arnold, who put together a masterful performance highlighting why he is one of the world's most exciting full-backs.
It was no surprise …
Liverpool's Fabinho happy with first season in Red after slow start
Liverpool's Brazilian midfielder Fabinho has been reflecting on his first season at Anfield under Jurgen Klopp and how after a brief settling-in period he has gone from strength to strength.
The former AS Monaco player's signature was announced just over a year ago, 24 hours after The Reds had fallen to Real Madrid in the Champions League final in Kyiv.
As with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain before him, Klopp and his backroom team looked to integrate Fabinho very gradually into the Liverpool …
Why claims Liverpool don't need players like de Ligt are wrong
There's been an unrivalled amount of chatter surrounding the future of Ajax's Matthijs de Ligt in recent weeks, with plenty of rumours linking him with a move to Anfield.
However, reports in the past 48 hours seem to point toward the Dutch wonder kid joining PSG.
There's also talk of Liverpool making moves for Lille's Nicolas Pepe and Sporting Lisbon's Bruno Fernandes.
While it's difficult to quantify anything at this stage of 'silly season', one thing that we do know …

Liverpool Need To Start Looking Beyond This Summer
The dust hasn’t yet settled on Liverpool’s sixth Champions League final win in Madrid, which you can tell from the fact that I keep getting tingles every time I write that god damn sentence. But in any case, the speculation has, naturally, turned to what Liverpool are going to do next in the transfer market.
I’ve previously stated before that I’m not really that bothered, either about transfer markets in general or specifically about who Liverpool sign this window and …
Liverpool now capable of winning dirty
The Champions League final between Liverpool and Spurs was probably as bad a deciding game as the competition has seen for years.
In terms of a neutral, it was a bland showing between two sides that had an array of attacking talent on show. Some pundits have put this down to the fact that both sides had a three-week break from their last league game, blaming rustiness as the reason for the lack of quality.
However Jurgen Klopp will not …
Liverpool's Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is already in talks about a 12-month contract extension
Liverpool are keen to tie Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain down to a contract which would keep him at the club until 2023 at least.
The former Arsenal attacking midfielder played just a few minutes this season as he was recovering from a horrific knee injury suffered against Roma in the Champions League semi-final in April 2018.
However, 'The Ox' is now back fit and firing and with a full pre-season training programme endured in the coming months, he should be raring to …
Why the Reds Should Go All Out for Exceptional Nicolas Pepe
There are very few times when a player jumps out at you to such a degree that he becomes magnetic.
During season 2017/18, it was clear that amidst Lille’s various struggles, including almost going bankrupt and staying up by the skin of their teeth, they at least had a pillar to tie their hopes to. It wasn’t an irregularity for teams around the lower echelons of the top five leagues; plenty have a single source of hope, deciding to build …
Moments For The Underdogs: Joel Matip and Divock Origi
‘I like being the underdog so they don’t expect what’s going to happen…’The biggest moments aren’t always meant for the biggest players, the best players, the ones who you’d expect to take up the mantle when everything is on the line. Those glittering, do or die moments can spark the emergence of those who have faded into the background, the underdogs in a group of top dogs who make their mark where no one thought it possible. …
Why is Liverpool so popular in Norway?
The United Kingdom and Norway have always had their shared interests in the past, the countries have always been quite close to each other in terms of culture and economic development.
In fact, it could be said that Norway is the UK’s best friend in Scandinavia, and will be the best friend in Europe if Brexit happens in the near future.
The bridge between these cultures has always been trading and relative proximity to each other. For example, whenever Norwegian …
