Wilfried Singo Profiled and Did Liverpool Get It Wrong on Semenyo?

The final cut covers Galatasaray’s Wilfried Singo, a powerful and versatile defender who has caught Liverpool’s eye. Dave and Bart’s break down his ability to play both right back and right sided centre back, his elite defensive numbers, his intelligent positioning, and his blend of raw power and recovery pace. They assess his suitability for Slot’s tactical shape, particularly the hybrid full back role, and explain why AFCON rules him out of a January move. The segment then shifts to Antoine Semenyo. The pair look at the current links, discuss why Liverpool liked him in the summer, and debate whether revisiting him now hints at a recruitment mistake. They close by questioning whether Liverpool’s real issues lie further back on the pitch and if Semenyo would even address the current problems. Learn more about your ad choices.

Liverpool were denied all 3 points at the Amex Stadium against Brighton and Hove Albion by a last-minute VAR-ridden penalty.

Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 0-2 Atalanta

Gian Piero Gasperini's Atalanta is a fascinating side. In their 0-5 loss to Liverpool at the Bergamo Stadium they displayed a number of interesting tactical concepts that in themselves were reasonable, astute and innovative, but were ruthlessly dismembered by a Klopp side at its cutting edge best. Central to that performance was the ability...

Firmino Freed By Ball Hungry Midfielders

Roberto Firmino's form noticeably went into a nosedive in January of 2020. The trademark tactical discipline and high octane work-rate remained, but the Brazilian's soft touch, penetrative passing, and calm head in front of goal disappeared somewhat. The 29-year-old's lack of goals -- the former Hoffenheim attacking midfielder went almost the entire league campaign without scoring...

Neco Williams And The Toxic Culture of Scapegoating

Liverpool, as a collective, were poor in their 2-0 defeat at Anfield to Atalanta in the Champions League this past week.

Lethargic Liverpool Look Lame As Atalanta Win

The Reds, meanwhile, who...

Five Centre-backs Jurgen Klopp Should Consider In January To Ease Defensive Woes

Tactical Breakdown: Liverpool 3-0 Leicester

With injuries aplenty following the international break and a deluge of fixtures awaiting Jürgen Klopp's red men, an acceptable result seemed more important than a strong performance. With Salah, Alexander-Arnold and Thiago all unavailable, the champions were without their three best creative players, leaving the creative burden upon a midfield and forward line that has...

Replacing Gini Wijnaldum: Denis Zakaria

How Erling Haaland can be the next evolutionary step for Liverpool

There is a popular cliche in football that if you are standing still, you are going backwards.

Liverpool have extended their home unbeaten run into club-record territory following a hugely impressive victory against high-flying Leicester.

Goalkeeper Alisson with Huge Hand In Liverpool Defensive Solidity

The composition of Liverpool's back four keeps changing.

Joe Gomez...

Will this be Liverpool’s starting eleven to play Leicester City on Sunday?

Liverpool welcome league leaders Leicester City to Anfield this Sunday evening in what should be an enthralling Premier League clash.

Will Rodgers prevent Liverpool setting all-time unbeaten home record?

April 23rd, 2017. Liverpool 1-2 Crystal Palace. Feels like a lifetime ago, doesn't it?

Versatile Oxlade-Chamberlain Could Offer Liverpool Right-Back Solution

Jurgen Klopp loves versatile players.

With a bigger list of injuries than an army hospital, Liverpool will need to...
