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...

Contract Rebel Defenders to Target in the Summer Of 2023

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

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.

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 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...
