Clearing Up Timo Werner Myths
Timo Werner has not done much in recent days to quell rumours of a summer switch to Liverpool.
Twice in the last week alone, the Red Bull Leipzig striker has publicly stated his admiration for Jurgen Klopp and talked up his ability to fit into his fellow Germans tactical set up at Anfield.
Following Leipzig's 1-0 Champions League away victory away to Tottenham Hotspur last Wednesday, the 23 year old -- in perfectly fluent English -- had no hesitation in …
Keita Could Be Liverpool's Midfield's Attacking Impetus
Let's face it, since his big money switch from Red Bull Leipzig in the summer of 2018 Naby Keita has failed to live up to the lofty expectations placed upon him in Liverpool red.
That's not to suggest the Guinean has been a bad signing, when his time with the European Champions should be assessed through the prism of the series of niggling injuries that have prevented him putting together an extended run of form.
With his slaloming dribbles, effortless …

Three areas for improvement for Atletico Madrid second leg
Liverpool's defeat at the Wanda Metropolitano at the hands of Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid is a bitter pill to swallow.
Jürgen Klopp's men failed to find a solution to the problem in front of them for once this season, as Atleti produced one of their trademark difficult, defensively resolute and irritating performances against the reigning European champions.
There was much left to be desired with Liverpool's all-round performance, and their approach will likely change for the second leg under the …
Why Van Dijk Should Win Player Of The Year
Such has been the almost unblemished ascent Liverpool have enjoyed to what increasingly looks like an inevitable league title, a lot of the suspense has been removed from the domestic season for the Reds' faithful.
With collective honours a near formality, many fans have instead debated who among the reigning European Champions' squad will win the biggest individual awards come the season's end.
Cases have been made for Sadio Mane and Jordan Henderson to win the player of the year …

Main Mané: Why Sadio shouldn't be overlooked for Player of the Year
When Liverpool signed Sadio Mané back in 2016 for £34 million, many onlookers scoffed at the price tag.
I must admit, although I didn't quite scoff, I was unsure if the Senegalese was worth the hefty investment. He looked like a promising player, but I wasn't sure if he'd have the desired impact at Anfield.
Fast forward four years, and my scepticism couldn't have been more misplaced.
Liverpool's number 10 started off well with a stunning debut goal against Arsenal …
Frustrating Liverpool Fall To Narrow Defeat In Madrid
Liverpool have it all to do in the second leg of their Champions League last 16 tie against Atletico Madrid after falling to a 1-0 defeat at the Wanda Metropolitana stadium.
An early Saul Niguez goal gave the hosts a victory borne out of defensive solidity and gamesmanship with the Reds unable to prize open their stubborn defence and, despite all their possession, work Jan Oblak.
Much of the pre-game narrative centred around Liverpool’s strength from set pieces and Atletico’s …
Atletico Madrid 1-0 Liverpool - Player Ratings as Reds go down in Spain
Atletico Madrid. Peak Atletico Madrid. Early goal, defend for their lives, win cheap fouls, and the antics of Diego Simeone on the touchline. This is what we expected when the draw was made, that is what we got. Liverpool went down 1-0, after Saul Niguez's fourth-minute goal was followed by a scrappy game, that ended with the Reds having no shots on target.
The return leg at Anfield on March 12, will now be spicy, with the Reds having it …
