Harry Maguire is a player that Manchester United happily paid a world record fee for (in 2018), in order to secure his move from Leicester City, some four years ago. They thought they were buying the English version of Virgil van Dijk, as someone who would help lead them back to the glory days...
After the winter of Bellingham, it became the spring of Mac Allister. And, gloriously, Liverpool got their man before the summer set in properly and before the season is even over.
There are loads of reasons for the club to be satisfied. The Argentinian came cheap, he has Premier League experience and he’s won a...
So much recent talk has surrounded Liverpool's midfield additions this summer, not to mention the tweak in system and Trent Alexander-Arnold's role, but what about the attack?
Despite Roberto Firmino departing this summer, the Reds still look well-stocked in the attacking area of the pitch, so it would be a surprise to see a new...
Only managers that have risen to the level of world class have ever really imprinted their ideals on what we continue to view in modern football today. In terms of Arrigo Sacchi, it was he who really took this style of counter pressing to a truly elite level, through the Serie A of the...
It seems that with every passing day, the alterations and evolution of our system of play is becoming a little clearer.

Yes at the sound of repeating myself (again) I’m afraid it is what it is -another day, another midfield rumour. This time it’s a name that’s done a full hokey-cokey reversal coming from out to in. In this scouting report we take a look at a youngster that most of Europe has had their...
Amid endless reports of new signings arriving at Liverpool this summer, and the exit of numerous players, Joel Matip has almost become something of a forgotten man.
The 31-year-old enjoyed a really tough season for the Reds, like so many, with too many erratic performances playing their part in a campaign of struggles.
Matip’s performance in...
The Role of Jorg Schmadtke and Why We Are Linked with So Many Players
