Wout Weghorst A Potential Liverpool Plan B
After failing to land Timo Werner, Liverpool will have to look elsewhere for another forward option. The rapid German, who is bound for Stamford Bridge and Chelsea, was deemed as perfect for the Reds, so it came as a big blow to their fanbase when the 24-year-old committed to Frank Lampard in a money-spinning deal.
The reigning Premier League champions -- whose financial muscle, along with 99% of all clubs around the world, has been lessened by the ongoing pandemic …
Why Thiago to Liverpool would be odd
Thiago Alcantara is the latest big name player to be (heavily) linked with Liverpool this summer. And he is the business.
Thiago is an absolutely elite central midfielder, who would improve most central midfields in the entire world. If we’re being honest, he would improve Liverpool’s and would certainly be an exceptional option to have kicking about.
My point is that when I say this transfer is very odd and not at all what I would expect Liverpool to do, …

Liverpool's Relegated Player Transfer Roulette
Liverpool have already felt the brunt of the financial pinch caused by the ongoing pandemic.
Long linked with Timo Werner, the Reds -- who were either unwilling or unable to match the financial package on offer in West London -- were beaten to the signing of the German international by Chelsea.
The prevailing sense, as suggested by all of the journalists close to the club, is that reigning European, World, and English champions will be relatively quiet in the upcoming …
Iconic Moments From A Season To Remember
Premier League Champions. Only we know how as a collective fanbase we've longed to hear those beautiful words. Everything about the manner in which the title was finally secured spells out poetic.
Six years ago our title hopes were obliterated with a disappointing draw at Palace and a loss to Chelsea at home. Willian hammered in the final nail in the coffin with his goal thus handing the visitors a 2-0 victory and the Premier League title to City.

Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa: Who Was Man of the Match?
Liverpool banked yet another 3 points at Anfield after a very lacklustre 2-0 victory over Aston Villa. Until Mané put the Reds in front in the 70th minute, we failed to create any chance of note whatsoever, with Villa looking the more likely to break the deadlock with numerous dangerous counterattacks. A win is a win, though, which keeps our remarkable run of victories at home continuing along nicely.
In goal, Alisson unsurprisingly started and played very well. A couple …
Key Stats as Reds see off Villa as title malaise continues
Liverpool returned to winning ways as they saw off Aston Villa 2-0 in a scrappy game at Anfield to make it a staggering 24 straight home league wins in a row. But what were the key stats from another dross game in Liverpool’s title procession?
Naby. Lad.
Liverpool’s attacking display was efficient rather than explosive. Only six shots, only three inside the box and only two big chances, but both big chances were converted to give the Reds the win. …
Liverpool 2-0 Aston Villa: Player ratings as Reds lift their game to secure three points
Liverpool's hopes of ending the season with a 100% Premier League record at Anfield are still alive after they sparked themselves into life against Aston Villa.
It was a lethargic, disjointed display for over an hour, but the slickest move of the match brought a breakthrough for Sadio Mane before Curtis Jones' first league goal confirmed defeat for Villa.
Here's how the Reds rated:
Alisson - 8
As ever, Alisson made a number of hazardous efforts that came his way …
Liverpool Bounce Back With Unconvincing Win
Liverpool continued their 100% winning streak in the Premier League this season with a hard fought 2-0 win over Aston Villa at Anfield.
Goals from Sadio Mane and Curtis Jones gave the Reds a perhaps flattering win after a stodgy performance against their relegation-threatened visitors.
After their drubbing at Manchester City, there was an expectation of a backlash but the Reds’ performance was the antithesis of that.
Slow, plodding — littered with poor touches and worse passes — and playing …
