Do Liverpool need Philippe Coutinho?

It’s that time of the year again. With transfers being discussed, Philippe Coutinho is once again being linked with a return to Liverpool. It’s been a regular occurrence ever since he forced his way out of Anfield to secure a dream move to Barcelona. But that quickly turned into a nightmare.  He was nothing more...

Jordan Henderson: Liverpool’s Linchpin Leader

This past week marked the nine-year anniversary of Jordan Henderson's transfer from Sunderland to Liverpool. From a skinny right-sided midfielder -- who admitted to being daunted at sharing the same midfield as Steven Gerrard -- to a colossal leader of men, Henderson has come of age at Anfield and is the ideal player to lead...

Liverpool, football, and the return to normality

Depending on when you’re reading this, it’s about a week, or maybe less, until the season continues, and Liverpool travel to Goodison Park in a game scheduled originally for Monday 16th March. That game will now be played, three months later, on Sunday 21st June. I recently noted on Twitter, as Liverpool’s move for Timo...

How FSG treat Liverpool like an American sports franchise

A few years back now, I entertained the idea that football could soon follow American sports by essentially getting rid of transfer fees. With more and more players looking to move on free transfers, the next logical step was either inserting reasonable release clauses into every single contract or accepting that a player will...

Why Mohamed Salah is one of Europe’s elite

Since returning to the Premier League, Mohamed Salah has been utterly dominant. The Liverpool No.11 has claimed back to back Golden Boot awards and when the 2019/20 campaign was paused, the Egyptian had 16 goals to his name. A third Golden Boot was unlikely but not impossible. Remarkable considering he played a large chunk...

Liverpool’s Werner Swerve Could Strengthen Team Bond

Excuse the pun, but Timo Werner's decision to join Chelsea came out of the blue. The RB Leipzig forward publicly flirted with the Reds on an almost constant basis; notably taking time to flutter his eyelashes at Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp -- describing both the team and the coach as "the world's best" -- after...

Does Liverpool FC have a problem with institutional racism?

From the death of George Floyd to Black Lives Matter protests and the unceremonious dumping of the statue of Edward Colston into the Bristol docks, events across the world have put a magnifying glass up against how our society behaves when it comes to the treatment of ethnic minority groups. While clubs have sort to...

Curtis Jones Could Be Liverpool’s New 16/17 Lallana

If you polled people to ask them the words they most associate with Liverpool's midfield, the descriptions you would mostly see would be "functional, stodgy, obstinant, no-frills." While not always the easiest on the eye -- although, when asked to play progressively, they can weave pretty patterns and pass through opponents with the build-up to...

Adama Traore: A risk worth taking?

Liverpool have had almost everything their own way during a relentless surge towards Premier League glory, with 82 points out of a possible 87 proof of that. While not every victory has necessarily been a stroll in the park, the Reds sealed wins against all 19 of their league opponents in 2019/20, as they threaten...

Tactical Analysis: How to beat Klopp’s Liverpool

Liverpool may no longer be unbeaten in the Premier League, but it's abundantly clear that they still are the team to beat. A coronavirus induced hiatus has given rival managers more than ample time to ponder how they could set up their side to tactically overcome Liverpool. Whilst Atletico Madrid and Watford are the two...
