Liverpool FC Opinion
Gini Wijnaldum doesn’t get the respect he deserves. He’s one of Jurgen Klopp’s most trusted players, he’s played a key part in Liverpool transitioning from top four hopefuls to Premier League winners and he’s the ultimate clutch player for the Reds. Against Boro on the final day of the 2016/17 campaign, Wijnaldum bagged the opener […]
The 2020/2021 fixtures were released last Thursday, the 20th of August. Champions Liverpool begin their title defence at home to newly-promoted Leeds United, before travelling to Chelsea and hosting Arsenal at Anfield in game number three. What is most noticeable, however, is how compressed the campaign — which had to be readjusted due to the […]
Sadio Mane is often overlooked. It’s not purposefully done and there’s nothing malicious in it, it’s just one of the downsides of playing in the best team in the world. Mohamed Salah’s ridiculous goal return sees him take centre stage more often than not. Virgil van Dijk is Virgil van Dijk. Alisson makes a monumental […]
Jurgen Klopp sprang a surprise in the pre-season of 2018/2019 by using Adam Lallana as the deepest midfielder. Despite the fact the Reds manager hinted at it in the press, Liverpool fans had to pick their jaws off the floor when they saw Lallana — an attacking midfielder for all his career to date — […]
Dejan Lovren’s departure left a void in the Liverpool squad. He may have only been the fourth-choice centre-back for the Reds but given Joel Matip and Joe Gomez are prone to the odd injury, it’s an important role at Anfield. Fabinho can, and has, played there but losing him as the deepest midfielder of a […]
Liverpool’s signing of Kostas Tsimikas is the latest example of the Reds acquiring players with a bedrock of experience of winning titles in so-called “lesser” European Leagues. The Greek, who has two Greek titles to his name, signed from Olympiacos last week to provide Jurgen Klopp with much-needed depth in the left-back position. Whether directly […]
Who else watched The Last Dance during lockdown? The Netflix show documented the final year of Chicago Bulls’ all-conquering basketball team during the 1990s, led by the incomparable Michael Jordan and aided by the likes of Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman. It was a fascinating watch – one of the best sports documentaries in years […]
After sitting out the 2019 summer window, signing a potentially lucrative deal with Nike and then going on to win the Premier League, many expected Liverpool to flex their financial muscle this summer to bring one of Kylian Mbappe or Jadon Sancho to Anfield. The global pandemic put a stop to that, however, and with […]
Divock Origi is a strange case. The Belgian forward has cemented himself into Liverpool club folklore with his contributions in last season’s victorious Champions League campaign. The 25-year old scored a brace in the Reds’ miraculous 4-0 second leg semi-final tie against Barcelona, sealing their passage to a second consecutive European Cup final. Then, in […]
Liverpool addressed their depth issue at left-back when they completed the signing of Kostas Tsimikas from Olympiacos on M0nday. The 24-year-old Greek international moves to Anfield for a fee in the region of £11,000,000 and will act as the understudy Andrew Robertson. Given the emphasis placed on the Reds’ full-backs to create, their role is […]
