Impact off the bench. Not since Ryan Babel nearly a decade ago have Liverpool had a reliable impact sub.
For Jurgen Klopp it hasn’t been for a lack of trying. During his first few months with Liverpool he made use of Benteke, Steven Caulker and even goalkeeper Shamal George as an auxiliary striker off the...
Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo is set for a defining summer after undergoing a disappointing 2016/17 campaign that saw him fail to establish himself under Jurgen Klopp.
Breaking through the ranks in 2015/16, Ojo has since drifted between Liverpool’s Under-23's and the first team setup – though predominantly in terms of training rather than appearances.

The current squad has been scrutinised and pulled apart and for the first time since he arrived, I...
The academy is in place for the clubs to use the elite youngsters to subsidise their first teams and then sell the players that aren't quite Liverpool quality for a decent price and use that money to reinvest.
As Liverpool fans we're always hearing about the next big thing coming up from the academy to...
Michael Beale's Liverpool u21 side had the chance to go top of the league today, but in order to do so they had to beat Leicester City in Chester.
