Klopp Defence of Gakpo: Long-Term Future Hint?

Another week and another embargo section. Maybe not as exciting as the last one, but there was a telling focus on the recent attacking struggles. Whilst most of the attention was focused towards Mo Salah and his own recent issues, Jurgen Klopp was asked about and passionately defended new signing Cody Gakpo, whilst also...

January Transfer Window: Deepening the Mystery of LFC Current Shortcomings

The January Transfer Window look like being the perfect analogy of Liverpool’s season to date. Opening with promise and hope, then quickly seeing that extinguished before heading towards anger and eventually despair. The club appears somewhat of a mess from top to botttom at the moment and even the most positive red is struggling...

Brighton 2 – 1 Liverpool – The FA Cup Post-Mortem 

After cleaning house in the domestic cup stakes last season, the Reds bowed out to their recent south coast tormentors, thereby tumbling out of the prestigious FA Cup. Though this was a far better output than that which we saw in the league recently (3-0 loss), it still shows that this group is veering...

Lesson Learned: Brighton (FA Cup)

There’s a great quote from parenthood that goes ‘you can’t go through life allowing pain to dictate how you behave’.

Brighton 2 – 1 Liverpool – The FA Cup Man Of The Match

Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - The FA Cup Man Of The Match Stefan Bajčetić With a new long-term contract secured this week, it is a positive step for an underwhelming midfield.

Return to Brighton: The Scene of the Crime

As the old saying goes ‘the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime’. It would be hard to describe Liverpool’s last visit to the AMEX Stadium as anything other than that, in what turned out to be a dismal 3-0 defeat earlier this month. The Reds now have a chance to exercise...

Mohamed Salah: Past his best or a victim of the system?

First thing's first: Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest footballers in Liverpool's long and trophy-laden history, regardless of what happens in the future. Some may even argue that only Sir Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard now lie ahead of him among the pantheon of Reds greats, although age and favouritism will always make for...

Is Klopp Mishandling Harvey Elliott?

When Liverpool signed Harvey Elliott from Fulham, it came after a long period of monitoring and negotiation. The eventual tribunal resulted in the 16-year-old signing for the Reds for an undisclosed fee, with the deal being deemed a successful acquisition of one of England’s most talented young stars. This type of deal was always...

Brighton v Liverpool – The FA Cup 4th Round Preview

After the Reds' 3-0 loss away to Brighton two weeks ago, it’s fair to say that this FA Cup match up could be viewed in a couple of different ways. On one hand, it’s a chance for Liverpool to exorcise some of the demons created. On the more realistic hand, it’s perhaps another game...
