Stefan Bajcetic: Big Breakthrough Chance

“We want to give these boy chances”. Distinct words from Pep Ljinders in his Carabao press conference when discussing Liverpool youngsters Stefan Bajcetic, Bobby Clark and Ben Doak.

Can Naby Secure His Liverpool Future and Stop the Reds Bleeding Money

Can Naby Secure His Reds Future and Stop the Reds Bleeding Money On the 10th February next year Naby Keïta will turn 28-years of age, which should signify the peak moment of his footballing career.

Why Naby Keita’s time at Liverpool should be up this summer

Has a Liverpool player divided opinion quite like Naby Keita in the past 20 years? To some, he's as good as Steven Gerrard, and to others, he's worse than Bruno Cheyrou (slight exaggeration, but you get my drift). The Guinean arrived at Liverpool amid huge fanfare back in 2018, one year after initially signing, and was...

Virgil Van Dijk: All Eyes On Second Half Of The Season

Liverpool need a quick and effective start to the second half of the season, of that there’s no doubt.

Manchester City v Liverpool – The EFL Cup Preview

Messi won the World Cup, Cristiano tainted his reputation further, Diaz got another injury, Elon did some things with Twitter & the Reds' fan base waited impatiently for their team to re-emerge. With the tournament in Qatar now all done, we can all start focusing in on Christmas and all the football this festive...

Ben Doak: Expectations Need Dampening Down

The classic mantra still rings true today: if you’re old enough, you’re good enough. Based on another noteworthy cameo against AC Milan, there’s many who will have Ben Doak pencilled in for the Man City Carabao game and maybe others beyond. A pre-return friendly to prepare for post World Cup action shouldn’t serve as...

Could Fábio Carvalho Emulate Coutinho after the Diaz Injury

We can now assume that both Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota will be sidelined until about March, though the latter may be back a touch earlier. This represents yet another cringe invoking moment, that will see this Liverpool forward group down to its bare bones. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Darwin Núñez stand as...

Jude Bellingham and Enzo Fernandez: The Dream Before The Heartbreak of Reality?

There’s a great Leon Suenen quote “Happy are those who dream dreams and are willing to pay the price to make them come true.” Liverpool fans are certainly dreaming after repeated transfer stories this week, but they’ll be asking others to dig deep.
