Why German Star Isn't A Good Fit For Liverpool
The coronavirus pandemic has postponed silly season, for now, but every now and then a rumour that makes you do a double-take emerges. The latest one was that Liverpool wanted to sign Manchester City’s Leroy Sane.
Now, the Reds did try to bring the Germany international to Merseyside prior to his switch to Manchester but missed out and instead signed Sadio Mane. If reports are anything to go by, Jurgen Klopp is a fan of his compatriot. However, despite Sport …

Jack O'Connell: A Sturdy Liverpool Back Up
Despite the coronavirus pandemic seeing football screech to a dramatic mid-season halt, the transfer rumour mill continues to churn out stories.
Dejan Lovren, Liverpool's Croat centre-half, continues to be linked with a move to AS Roma. The Reds' number 6 was heavily linked with a move to the Italian capital last season, and --apparently keen to make the switch to the Stadio Olimpico -- the defender only remained on Merseyside owing to both clubs failing to agree a fee.
Lovren …

James Milner: Liverpool's Greatest Free Transfer?
I have a confession to make. I used to think James Milner was horribly average.
There was a time before his Liverpool and Man City days that I felt he represented everything wrong with English players, in particular an apparent lack of guile.
The sight of Milner consistently featuring for England seemed to sum up the Three Lions' shortcomings in major tournaments and I failed to see what others saw in him.
That was pushing a decade ago, however, and …
Van de Beek a Potential Dutch Delight For Liverpool
With each passing week, uncertainty over Georginio Wijnaldum's future at Liverpool begins to grow.
The Dutchman -- such a key component to the Reds European Cup win last season and their soon to be confirmed Premier League title win -- only has a year remaining on the 5-year deal he signed when arriving at the club from Newcastle United in 2016 and the radio silence over any progress on a new contract has the Anfield faithful worried.
Whether Liverpool look …
One Year On: The Game Where Alisson Showed His Worth
Liverpool is a club synonymous with historical nights in European football and this week we looked back on the first anniversary of arguably one of the greatest of those we'll ever see.
Somehow the Reds overturned a 3-0 first leg deficit against Barcelona to make it to their second successive Champion League final after a 4-0 victory.
While it's hard not to think of the contributions of the likes of super sub Gini Wijnaldum, Trent's quick thinking for the corner …
The Importance of Wijnaldum Extending Liverpool Stay
For the time being, footballing soap operas have taken a back step, as the world attempts to tackle the pandemic affecting the planet.
At Liverpool, talk of a potential move for Timo Werner remains a talking point, however, as does the future of Gini Wijnaldum - a player who has achieved so much since joining in surprise fashion from Newcastle back in 2016.
The Dutchman is still yet to commit his future to the Reds, with his current contract expiring …
The What Could Have Been Liverpool XI: Attack
There have been several players in Liverpool’s recent past who have enjoyed the best football of their careers at Anfield and inscribed themselves into the club’s history with memorable performances.
Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher and Fernando Torres — to name but three — either spent all of their careers or, in Gerrard’s case as good as, with the Reds or — with Torres as an example — enjoyed their career-best runs of form in a Liverpool shirt.
There have been …
How The Power of Anfield Helped Liverpool Crush Barcelona
Even before kick-off, it was apparent that the Anfield crowd was ready.
A healthy crowd gathered outside the stadium -- as is customary on big European nights -- to soundtrack the team's bus' entrance, defiantly lifting their player's morale when it appeared to all that they were flogging a dead horse.
3-0 down to Barcelona from the first leg, Liverpool -- who were shorn of 2/3's of their potent attacking trio, Mohamed Salah, and Roberto Firmino -- were given a …
