Mane - Regression or Revival?
After arriving from Southampton in Jurgen Klopp’s first summer, it was rumoured that Sadio Mane was in fact the Mario Gotze alternative. Gotze was a prodigy whilst playing under Klopp at Borussia Dortmund, and the chance to reunite seemed logical. Sadio Mane, a flying winger and sometimes front man had a sensational yet inconsistent side to him, and it was feared that the Senegalese front man was a risk. A deal north of 30m was agreed, and Sadio Mane became …

Second Season Tsimikas To Enjoy Further Responsibility
On the surface, the signing of Kostas Tsimikas really hasn't worked out for Liverpool.
Signed from Olympiacos in the summer of 2020, the Greek left-back -- whose acquisition was aimed at giving Andy Robertson the opportunity to rest -- only made seven appearances in all competitions in his first season on Merseyside.
Meanwhile, Robertson played in every single Premier League fixture, clocking up an energy-sapping 3,368 minutes in the process of the most condensed season of all time. The Scotland …

Should Nat Phillips be a long-term option for Liverpool?
For an emergency centre-half, Nat Phillips has become surprisingly divisive. At least that's the impression I get from my Twitter feed.
There are those who believe he's performed well enough in a time of crisis to merit a place in Liverpool's centre-back rotation moving forward.
And then there are those who acknowledge the contribution he's made but argue that he's ultimately too limited a defender to figure long-term.
Liverpool should be back up to a full complement of centre-halves next …
