Liverpool Starting Lineup if Jürgen Klopp Has Inked His Top Targets

The activity of the club management in the January transfer window disappointed Liverpool fans. They aren’t used to such a drought of signings ever since Jürgen Klopp became manager. The only senior player that was recruited in January was Cody Gakpo, which seems to be too little given the way “Reds“ underperformed in the...

Wolves 3 – 0 Liverpool – PL Player Ratings

Wolves 3 - 0 Liverpool - Premier League Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 6.0 It’s always a relief when this man is in between the sticks, but even his form has dropped off, of late. So horribly let down by his defensive group, with little chance on the first half goals. He seemed unsure for the...

Tony Evans: No Government Should Be Able To Buy Liverpool FC – Not China, Qatar or the USA

It comes around about once every decade. The Scouse vs. Wool, Local vs. Out-Of-Towner debate is a Liverpool staple. This time it’s got a new twist. The suggestion that the club could be bought by Qataris has added an extra wrinkle. You’re racist if you object to despots. Tuesday marked the fifteenth anniversary of the formation...

FSG Out – The Rise & Fall of our Controversial Owners 

For the entirety of January, I was convinced my football club would recruit that midfielder which was desperately needed. My misguided faith in our owners (doing the right thing) has left me saddened, as I wanted to remember them for all the good they have done for this historical club. It can never be...

Wolves v Liverpool – The PL Preview

In a period where we only ever seem to play Brighton or Wolves, we are once again tasked with bouncing back from a disappointing result. Despite knocking Wolves out of the FA Cup a few weeks back, the Reds were unable to progress past the Seagulls in the very next round. This weekend’s game...

Thiago a shining light and continued key man for Liverpool

Even when Liverpool are producing one of their ugliest and most disappointing seasons in recent memory, Thiago still manages to be beautiful. In a campaign littered with both team and individual deficiencies, the Spaniard continues to shine and do his best to alter the Reds' fortunes. There are some who may lazily look at Thiago and...

FSG: Tensions Reach an All-Time High

The January Transfer Window has officially slammed shut. In a painful conclusion, every one of Liverpool’s main rivals completed business before the death whereas it was clear a while ago that no-one would be heading through the doors at the AXA. Anger, frustration and bewilderment will be some of the emotions felt and expressed...

Klopp is taking risks with Bellingham obsession

The transfer window has closed and Liverpool have not addressed their biggest need. The Reds entered this season very obviously short of quality in midfield and with significant question marks hanging over each of the existing midfielders. Thiago Alcantara is an incredible footballer but he is 31, soon to be 32, years of age and...

Why Fabinho Should Be the Short and Long Term Centre Back Option

 With the demoralising news of Ibrahima Konaté now being side-lined for a few weeks, it leaves Jürgen Klopp with a real decision to make. We already know that Virgil will be missing for most of February, therefore that leaves a centre half group comprising Joël Matip, Joe Gomez, Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams. With...

Is This the End for Jordan Henderson?

During the Jürgen Klopp era at Liverpool Football Club, the fanbase has been able to explore a wide range of emotions. The outset saw the club relieved and optimistic about what would follow the charismatic German through the door. The middle brought an unbelievable amount of success and silverware, that had been lacking for...

Klopp Defence of Gakpo: Long-Term Future Hint?

Another week and another embargo section. Maybe not as exciting as the last one, but there was a telling focus on the recent attacking struggles. Whilst most of the attention was focused towards Mo Salah and his own recent issues, Jurgen Klopp was asked about and passionately defended new signing Cody Gakpo, whilst also...

January Transfer Window: Deepening the Mystery of LFC Current Shortcomings

The January Transfer Window look like being the perfect analogy of Liverpool’s season to date. Opening with promise and hope, then quickly seeing that extinguished before heading towards anger and eventually despair. The club appears somewhat of a mess from top to botttom at the moment and even the most positive red is struggling...

Franck Kessié & The Continuing Loan Opportunities 

Franck Kessié & The Continuing Loan Opportunities    With Ryan Gravenberch & Mattéo Guendouzi already looked upon as potential loan options, there’s another name which has been mentioned for the reds to monitor. As funds seem limited until the summer transfer window, it would appear a last minute deal could be struck within this January window.   Last...

Brighton 2 – 1 Liverpool – The FA Cup Post-Mortem 

After cleaning house in the domestic cup stakes last season, the Reds bowed out to their recent south coast tormentors, thereby tumbling out of the prestigious FA Cup. Though this was a far better output than that which we saw in the league recently (3-0 loss), it still shows that this group is veering...

Lesson Learned: Brighton (FA Cup)

There’s a great quote from parenthood that goes ‘you can’t go through life allowing pain to dictate how you behave’. Clearly the scriptwriters for this don’t know the effects that Liverpool can have on people. There were a few positives to take from a return to the scene of the crime at The Amex,...

Scouting Report: Sander Berge

This is not Ant and Dec trolling LFC fans, but Sander Berge’s name has been cropping up for the last three transfer windows. Similarly to Keyser Soze, whenever the Reds' lack of activity in the transfer window reaches maximum frustration for most, his name gets trotted out. It was there on the last day...

And The Window Once Again Ends with A Loan

I can remain upbeat about most Liverpool signings, even when it’s getting close to tragic. When we signed Paul Konchesky, I tried to find the positives within that early Roy Hodgson reign, just to give perspective of my delusion. Most players we are linked with, I tend to search the validity as to why...

Brighton 2 – 1 Liverpool – The FA Cup Man Of The Match

Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - The FA Cup Man Of The Match Stefan Bajčetić With a new long-term contract secured this week, it is a positive step for an underwhelming midfield. His composure, reading of the game, intelligence, and decision making is far beyond his tender years. In the middle of two controlling players, he offered...

Brighton 2 – 1 Liverpool – FA Cup Player Ratings

Brighton 2 - 1 Liverpool - FA Cup Player Ratings Alisson Becker - 7.0 Let down by his team being unable to win the game. Could do very little for both goals concerned, and what he did accomplish, he did so with ease. Not the issue at all. Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0 We need this kind of energy...

The Greatest Games in Liverpool FC History

Liverpool FC is a professional football club in Liverpool, England. Liverpool has won six European Cups, more than any other English team, three UEFA Cups, four UEFA Super Cups, one FIFA Club World Cup, eighteen League titles, and seven FA Cups. Liverpool FC has been a part of Liverpool's history for over 125 years and...

Tony Evans: It’s Time For Mo Salah to Shine

There is no doubt that Mo Salah is a Liverpool great. He has been the cutting edge of the Jurgen Klopp era. Unfortunately, he’s dropped down a gear just at the moment and he needs to step up another level. We’ve come to expect more than seven goals in half a Premier League season. He’s...

Return to Brighton: The Scene of the Crime

As the old saying goes ‘the criminal always returns to the scene of the crime’. It would be hard to describe Liverpool’s last visit to the AMEX Stadium as anything other than that, in what turned out to be a dismal 3-0 defeat earlier this month. The Reds now have a chance to exercise...

Mohamed Salah: Past his best or a victim of the system?

First thing's first: Mohamed Salah is one of the greatest footballers in Liverpool's long and trophy-laden history, regardless of what happens in the future. Some may even argue that only Sir Kenny Dalglish and Steven Gerrard now lie ahead of him among the pantheon of Reds greats, although age and favouritism will always make for...

Is Ryan Gravenberch A Deal That Makes Sense?

The early part of this week saw the endless Jude Bellingham rumours ramp up, as well as the on-going Moisés Caicedo links. What did make its first piece of noise however, was the talks of a possible loan move for Bayern Munich midfielder, Ryan Gravenberch. The 20-year-old only arrived at the Allianz Arena in...

Is Klopp Mishandling Harvey Elliott?

When Liverpool signed Harvey Elliott from Fulham, it came after a long period of monitoring and negotiation. The eventual tribunal resulted in the 16-year-old signing for the Reds for an undisclosed fee, with the deal being deemed a successful acquisition of one of England’s most talented young stars. This type of deal was always...

Jesper Lindstrøm Scouted – What to Expect From the Frankfurt Star?

There aren’t a lot of football players in Europe with hotter names than Jesper Lindstrøm at the moment. The 22-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt ace has eight goals to his name so far this season and started twice for Denmark at the World Cup in Qatar.  So, who is the young Danish midfielder, and what could he...

Brighton v Liverpool – The FA Cup 4th Round Preview

After the Reds' 3-0 loss away to Brighton two weeks ago, it’s fair to say that this FA Cup match up could be viewed in a couple of different ways. On one hand, it’s a chance for Liverpool to exorcise some of the demons created. On the more realistic hand, it’s perhaps another game...

Could Roberto De Zerbi Be The Long Term Successor To Klopp

I wrote previously how it could be a choice as to who leaves the club first, Jurgen Klopp or FSG. Given the underwhelming result against Chelsea this past weekend, I still think the big German could depart his post, certainly if results were to continue in an unsatisfactory manner. My hope is that the...

Liverpool 0 – 0 Chelsea – The Post-Mortem 

In terms of the result and path to get there, Liverpool were able to look more defensively stable, which resulted in a clean sheet. With only one point gained from a very uneventful game, it appears that this is the stodgy kind of performance that the Reds wanted in order to start regaining control...

Lessons Learned: Chelsea

A rather uneventful afternoon at Anfield ended goalless against Chelsea, as both sides saw their remaining but limited hopes of champions league qualification take a further dent. In truth, Liverpool deserved nothing more from a game where they offered minimal threat for the majority of the occasion. As both teams take a point and...
