Reactionary Frenzy?
Sky Sports seemed intent on creating as much frenzy as they could on deadline day of the European transfer window. Essentially, their role is to create agenda, promote propaganda, and entice multiple fanbases to stay glued to their broadcast.

Post Match RAW: DOM-INATION
On the latest RAW, Trev Downey, Dave Hendrick and Hari Sethi reflect on a very comprehensive and oddly comfortable 3-0 home victory over Aston Villa.

Liverpool vs Aston Villa: A Premier League Showdown
The Context: A Battle Between Two Historic Clubs
Writing a match day preview the day before the summer transfer window shuts is a tad tricky. However, I assume that any business undertaken will be too late to see them participating on Sunday afternoon. The cut-off point for this...
What Is Cody Gakpo’s Role?
There is a fine line between when a versatile footballer is either a success story for his club or a player lacking a definitive role within the starting eleven. Below are some examples of Liverpool players (in the Premier League era) who have enjoyed varying degrees of success in their...
Missed Opportunities
Liverpool's business in the transfer market this summer has been largely debatable amongst the supporters.
Many were pleased with the acquisitions of Alexis Mac Allister and Dominik Szobozslai, but perhaps less supportive in the signing of Wataru Endo.
The Reds have been left quite fragile in both the midfield and defensive positions, leaving many supporters...
