The Thiago Alcantara to Liverpool rumours continue to circulate. According to reports from every country that isn't England, the 29-year-old Spaniard will join the Reds after the completion of Bayern's Champions League campaign in August.

The remarkable rise of Liverpool’s pre-Klopp Fab Five

Jurgen Klopp is approaching five years as Liverpool manager, which is a frightening sentence to type. Where on earth did the time go? At this point in 2015, Brendan Rodgers was in his final pre-season at Anfield and the Reds were looking to bounce back from the humiliation of a 6-1 defeat away to Stoke. Little...

A Look At Lewis For Liverpool

Is James Milner better than Gary McAllister?

James Milner is a Liverpool legend.  A few months into his career at Anfield, it appeared as though he might’ve been more Joe Cole than he was Gary McAllister. For a period of time, it felt as though a Milner performance was a 6/10 and a yellow card was guaranteed. In his defence, though, this...

Why Clutch Mane Deserves Player Of The Year Award

There is a school of thought that suggests that Manchester City's Kevin de Bruyne is a shoo-in for the P.F.A player of the year award.

Why Liverpool had to sell Danny Ings

Danny Ings is doing exceptionally well for Southampton this season and because of this people want to rewrite history. He scored 22 goals for the season and just missed out on the golden boot.

A Full Circle

I have been a Liverpool fan since 2002 when the football scene in Malaysia was booming. Everyone in school had a favourite English football team. The earliest game I can recall is the one where we lost to Man United 2-1 when the ball went through Dudek's legs to Forlan. Yeah that game! That’s...

What Will Thiago Alcantara Bring to The Reds?

How Greenwood has helped Brewster

The Mason Greenwood hype is more than justified. He’s been compared to the likes of Robin Van Persie, Arjen Robben and Daniel Sturridge but for me, he’s their Michael Owen. Not stylistically, but in terms of timing and impact.  When Owen burst onto the scene for Liverpool, the Reds hadn’t won the league in seven...

Liverpool's departing defender Dejan Lovren believes a special era is only just beginning for the club following its success of the last 14 months.

The ongoing global pandemic has lessened most football club's financial might in the transfer market.
