Liverpool FC Opinion
When Manchester United travel to Anfield, it’s usually a big affair. It was even bigger an occasion than usual because on Sunday they travelled not just to Anfield, but to Anfield, the home of the Premier League Champions, for the first time in thirty years. Their players were spared the taunts that would likely have […]
When Marcus Rashford burst clear in Sunday’s 0-0 draw with Man United, every Liverpool supporter on the planet must have feared the worst. The England striker is renowned for his blistering pace, and as he sprinted through on goal, the Reds’ long unbeaten home run felt like it could go up in smoke, against the […]
The attacking trident of Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino, and Sadio Mane has served Liverpool extremely well over the course of the last four years. But now, after umpteen defences burned and English and Champions League medals in their back pockets, the time feels right to break up the forward threesome. The Reds have now drawn […]
After the injuries to Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez, it was inevitable that the names of several centre-halves would be bandied about and linked to Liverpool. Sven Botman, David Carmo, Dayot Upamecano and Ibrahim Konate have all been suggested as antidote’s to the Reds’ personnel shortage in the heart of their defence. Perhaps the […]
This was an occasion for Liverpool to banish their rut. Instead, they’ve sunk further into it. The draw with arch-rivals United keeps the Reds three points off the pace, but above all it cements Manchester City’s newly-established status as title favourites.

Georginio Wijnaldum, Lionel Messi, Memphis Depay and David Alaba all have six months remaining on their contracts at their respective clubs and they have all been heavily linked […]
What is the next evolution for this Liverpool side? After a series of disappointing results, that seems to be a common question, at least on social media anyway. The Reds huffed and puffed in games against West Brom, Newcastle United and Southampton, but eventually grew frustrated and turned to just aimlessly putting the ball into […]
David Alaba has been linked to, among other clubs, Liverpool regularly recently. The Austrian defender is in the final six months of his contract with FC Bayern and can now negotiate with foreign clubs ahead of a possible free transfer in the summer. It was expected that Alaba, 28, would join Real Madrid but the […]
Xherdan Shaqiri fell out of favour last season. However, Liverpool have lacked a creative spark over their last three games and, with a crunch clash coming up against Manchester United, it is integral they find it again. Shaqiri looked sharp in the FA Cup last Friday, and may be the man to reignite The Reds. […]
For all the talk of the need for Liverpool to reinforce their defence with new signings, their most consistent players ply their trade in the area. Andy Robertson and Fabinho — previously a defensive midfielder who is learning to play in the heart of defence on the fly — have been the Reds standout performers […]
