Could Marcus Thuram be the Man in Attack?

As much as I have longed for a return to Liverpool’s stuttering season, the closer it gets the more it is making me concerned with what actually awaits. The summer months (prior to this season) were full of hope and expectation, yet the flurry of losses quickly put an end to that fantasy. With...

A Festive Chance for Curtis Jones After the Diaz News

Most of our young players split opinion within our fan base, much like many of our players this season to be fair. With the Reds' preseason - part two - now fully underway we are becoming more aware of player availability, and where the midfield has caused much concern this term, the attack just...

Would the signing of Sofyan Amrabat be enough to seal top 4 for Liverpool?

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is looking to strengthen his squad this winter following their nightmare start to the new season. The Reds won just six of their opening 14 league games before domestic football paused for the 2022 World Cup, and it means bookmakers are now pricing Liverpool at a huge 40/1 to win...

Luis Diaz Injury: January Transfer Rethink?

Amidst all the Friday drama in the footballing world, there was only one thing that really devastated and worried Liverpool fans. It hasn’t yet been confirmed by the club, but Pipe Sierra’s tweet that fellow countryman Luis Diaz requires surgery and is likely to be out until March felt like a proverbial kick in...

How Diogo Jota became one of Liverpool’s most underrated players

Liverpool have assembled a star-studded attack that is on a par with any club in Europe, but Diogo Jota remains the underrated figure of that Reds unit. For whatever reason, the Portuguese is not as universally adored as the other four high-profile Liverpool attackers, despite already offering so much. Mo Salah is clearly always going to...

Could Jude Be the Eventual Liverpool Number 8…

Below is a link to an article I wrote before the World Cup, before the melee surrounding the on-going LFC ownership. I was assured in my thinking and rightly justified the reasons we could not afford Jude Bellingham. The logic was sound, as the stated price of £100m simply did not fall within a...

Tony Evans: Henderson Haters Could Put Bellingham Off Signing For Liverpool

The love-in between Jordan Henderson and Jude Bellingham is sending exciting signals to Liverpool fans. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder would clearly fit into the Anfield dressing room with ease. Bellingham is good. If Liverpool can bring the 19-year-old to Merseyside next summer it will be a coup. All the noises coming from Qatar and Germany...

Jude Bellingham: Generational and Defining for LFC

It’s amazing in football what appears to develop when nothing can actually happen isn’t. The performances of Jude Bellingham for England at the World Cup, pictures with Hendo or Trent and the tweet from Christian Falk will only seek to add more fuel to the roaring bonfire of hysteria. This is a generational player...

Following on with the players who are entering the final 18 months of their contracts, below is a list of defenders who could become summer targets in 2023.

January Scouting Report: Jhon Duran

What’s been said? Plenty for a player that few will likely have heard of. Liverpool are rumoured to be strongly interested in Duran, whether that be for January or the future.

Two World Cup Stand-Outs that Liverpool could target in January

The 2022 World Cup has divided opinion so far, some have loved the drama of the group stage while others have been disappointed with the lack of quality football on display.

Could Virgil van Dijk Emulate Fabio Cannavaro & Win the Ballon d’Or?

In 2006 Fabio Cannavaro led his Italian national team to a marvellous World Cup victory in Germany. During that year the legendary centre back was also named Serie A player of the year (with Juventus), before claiming the La Liga title with Real Madrid in the 2006/07 campaign. This period solidified the former Napoli...

Diogo Jota: Big 2023 Needed to End Any Ongoing Concerns

It’s a mixed 26th birthday today for Diogo Jota as he finds himself over in Dubai with the Liverpool squad, but certainly not working to the same timetable. The Portuguese forward isn’t expected back until February at the absolute earliest according to James Pearce’s article and would as a consequence miss at least a...

January Transfer Scouting: Sofyan Amrabat

What’s been said? Plenty and by a good few in all honesty. His performances for Morocco in Qatar have alerted many to his talents, but major clubs in Europe have been well aware of the Fiorentina midfielders' abilities for some time. His brother and fellow footballer Nordin has spoken to the press this week and...

Trent nails his detractors with spot-on assessment of criticism

So, brave old Gareth Southgate has actually mustered up the courage to play Trent Alexander-Arnold at a World Cup. Granted, it was when England were cruising to victory over Wales on Tuesday night, but still, from a Liverpool perspective, it was pleasing to see one of the Reds' most gifted players earn some minutes. Alexander-Arnold's cameo...

Tony Evans: A Rampant Steve Heighway & Our Future Alien Overlords

Steve Heighway has retired from coaching. It’s hard to believe he’s 75. His greatness should not be underestimated. He had a big impact on my family.
