*In a previous article, which can be found here, I looked at why it's the profile of the player that's key when going on a recruitment drive and not their history or their current position. Scouting helps build up such a profile. In this article I look at how and why traditional scouting and...
Was it ever really in doubt? Liverpool at Anfield on a European night. There's nothing quite like it. There's an aura of invincibility and a sense of destiny when the Reds are in Europe. It's in the clubs blood. Feeding off such support the heart is once again pumping with Anfield rocking as Villarreal...
As seasons go, this one has been something of a bonus for those Liverpool players looking to make the break through proper into fully fledged first team players.
The arrival of Jurgen Klopp offered a fresh start, and the run in the FA Cup a platform on which to grasp that opportunity and show the...
Less than a month ago, Liverpool had beaten Borussia Dortmund at Anfield in one of the most spectacular games in recent memory. Subsequently, Liverpool became favourites to win the Europa League and secure a Champions League spot, under the guidance of Jürgen Klopp. The following two league victories, against Bournemouth and Everton, led many to...

The supporters were elated,...

The last ten days haven't been Jurgen Klopp's most memorable as Liverpool manager. He saw his Reds throw away a 2-0 lead at home to Newcastle to draw 2-2, then had the misfortune of watching on as a series of individual errors undone what would've been an excellent European semi-final away draw and then to...
Jurgen Klopp’s first challenge at Liverpool was to instil his ideas and philosophies on a squad of players left to him following the departure of Brendan Rodgers...
