Why Liverpool should be looking at Manu Kone

As the dust begins to settle on the first act of the season, the drama that is the January transfer window now comes into focus. Liverpool’s need couldn’t be more obvious than in the centre of the park, where a mix of injuries and fading legs means reinforcements are a necessity. With many of...

Liverpool Fan Clubs in North America

Soccer is becoming more and more popular every year in the United States. The USMNT’s matches at the World Cup in Qatar as well as the CONCACAF Gold Cup’s crown have certainly additionally boosted the sport’s popularity in North America. We should also mention the likes of David Beckham and Zlatan Ibrahimovic as two...

January Attacker: Cody Gakpo v Noah Okafor

Liverpool’s announcement of their Dubai training camp and friendlies against AC Milan and Lyon, will do little to switch focus away from other matters such as takeovers and transfers. With planning now well underway for January all focus appears locked on midfield, but there may be another area of the pitch Jurgen Klopp seeks...

Why Kylian Mbappe should never be a Liverpool transfer target

The Liverpool FC buyout saga has rumbled on, and much of the fanbase will be quietly (or not so quietly) compiling their own dream teams for the new ownership to go and buy. There are of course my own wants and desires, and I would love the Reds to be as competitive as possible,...

Can The World Cup Reinvigorate Trent Alexander-Arnold?

It’s confirmed, Trent Alexander Arnold will be participating in the World Cup in Qatar. With the injury to Reece James, Gareth Southgate had little choice but to call upon the heavily criticised Liverpool fullback for his final squad list. There has been a few eyebrow raising decisions made (by Southgate), but for the purposes...

Liverpool 3 – 1 Southampton – The Post-mortem

A win is a win, and to sign off for the mid-season World Cup break with three points is a massive bonus for everything Liverpool FC related. With our manager (Jurgen Klopp) banished to the stands for one game, the pre match once again had an air of uncertainty. Would Southampton explode with that...

How Do We Top Up Our Summer Budget

We are all fully aware that under the FSG rule, we are a club that needs to be (for the most part) self-sufficient. Yes we have vastly improved Anfield, yes we have vastly improved our training facility (with the superb Kirkby structure), and yes we have handed out huge contracts to world-class players. But...

Outstanding Alisson too busy for Liverpool’s liking?

How many of you make noises during Liverpool games that would be absurd if they happened in any other walk of life? Just me? Sometimes, a moment comes along that produces some sort of wild shriek, such is either the brilliance or the ineptitude of the incident on show. My latest embarrassing squeal took place last...

Just Imagine The Next Two Windows Without Restraint

As much as I’ve tried to internally (and by way of my last couple of articles) dampen down what could happen at Liverpool, there is still that lingering transfer frenzy that pops up in my mind. The Jurgen Klopp era has been about control as much as it has been about brilliance, but what...

Liverpool F.C Loan Watch: 11/12-11/13

Billy Koumetio (Austria Wien II) Koumetio appears to have fallen out of favour for Austria Wien, and into favor for Austria Wien II. Not exactly ideal. Koumetio played the full 90, but as a left back for Austria Wien II as they lost 2-0 to Rapid Wien II. So, Koumetio went from starting at centre...

World Cup Squads 11/11: Van Dijk, Nunez In, Thiago, Fabio out

On November 11th, we saw a clash of the Borussia sides in the Bundesliga, and eight World Cup squads released! Netherlands, Senegal, Uruguay, Argentina, Qatar, Portugal, Serbia and Spain all revealed their teams today. Unsurprisingly, Netherland's captain Virgil Van Dijk was selected, and $85M frontman Darwin Nunez was picked for Uruguay. Thiago and Fabio...

What Happens In The January Window, If FSG Are Still Here

Liverpool appear to be in the process of finding new ownership, but it would be foolish to bank on a January spending spree by some deep pocketed (as yet) unknowns. In any sale process that involves a multi billion pound acquisition, time and patience is unfortunately something that we all need to acknowledge. The...

Why Liverpool could sign Declan Rice in January

The first phase of this enthralling Premier League season is now in the dust, and ridiculously, the World Cup in Qatar begins this coming Sunday. This whole international competition is a complete farce, from the moment the destination was announced, until the moment it ends. It’ll bring controversy, injuries, upset and fatigue. Yet the...

Southampton (H): What Lessons Did We Learn?

The performance proved to be good enough, but the result was all that truly mattered against Southampton on Saturday. In our last game before the World Cup, Liverpool simply couldn’t afford to surrender any further ground in their fight for a top-four finish. Ultimately, the Reds did prevail and in a certain sense, there’s...

Klopp Hints at More LFC Transfer Concerns Unless Sale Happens

In the lead up to any Premier League game, the managers of the two teams are required to attend a pre-game press conference. With Southampton primed to head to Anfield this past Saturday, the Liverpool manager seemed to take the opportunity to share some thoughts on the Reds' transfer strategy. Whereas we were all...

How Will Liverpool Players Perform in the World Cup?

The World Cup is here – finally. Liverpool, like many other elite teams across the world, has a number of players represented, and some could play pivotal roles in Qatar. However, Jurgen Klopp's team is in an unusual circumstance. For different reasons, several of their top players will not be taking part. Worth noting, Mo Salah's...

Liverpool 3 – 1 Southampton – Premier League Player Ratings

Starting XI Alisson Becker - 9.0 Brazil's number one, in his last start as a red before the World Cup. He was superb, and was able to stand out once again. Trent Alexander Arnold - 6.0 England’s most talked about player, came back in for the impressive Calvin Ramsay. Was solid enough throughout and really seemed intent on...

Liverpool 3 – 1 Southampton – Man Of The Match

Alisson Becker I don’t really like the fact that our goalkeeper is getting so many man of the matches this season, but as long as we win, I’ll keep awarding it. Alisson is the best keeper this Premier League has ever seen, and the giant Brazilian just allows us to be impenetrable at times. We have...

The Kids (Some) are Alright!

It maybe apt that we are focusing on ‘the who’ specifically (maybe one for the dads there), but there was plenty to digest on the back of Liverpool’s third round passage in the Carabao Cup against Derby. Jurgen Klopp utilised the entire spectrum of his squad with experienced internationals, squad players, youth talents and...

World Cup Squads: Six Teams Released, Hendo and Trent Included!

November 10th saw United best Villa in a six goal thriller, and the release of six world cup squads! England, Poland, Germany, Cameroon, Belgium, and Morocco all released their team sheets. Chief among the headlines for Liverpool is that Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold have both been included for the Three Lions! Alexander-Arnold will...

Liverpool v Southampton – The Premier League Preview

It’s the last game for these two sides before the Wold Cup circus takes over football, and it represents a chance for both to end this first phase of the season on a high. It’s been fairly mediocre till now for both teams, but there has been the odd bright spot, and the last...

Which Liverpool Players Would Benefit From A Loan

With the on-going saga surrounding new ownership, and the news regarding FSG being willing to listen to offers, it puts the next few months (for LFC) in the air. Presumably, varying conditions will need to be met in order to become viable owners, and I believe there is enough professional respect from John Henry...

World Cup Squads: One Red, Six Ex-Reds

November 9th was an exciting day for world football. We saw Chelsea vs City, Arsenal lose to Brighton, Tottenham lose to Forest (hey maybe we aren't so bad), Liverpool's U13's win a PK shootout, and five squads for the World Cup in Qatar released to the public. France, Croatia, Switzerland, and Wales all made...

Tony Evans: The ‘FSG Outers’ Got What They Wanted

The dreams of FSG haters are about to be fulfilled. It was always just a matter of time. You know the saying, though. Be careful what you wish for. It might come true. Some people may relish the thought of petro-states or oligarchs. There are hardly any out there these days. If a Manchester City-style...

Liverpool 0 – 0 Derby County – EFL Cup 3rd Round – Post-mortem

Liverpool 0 - 0 Derby County - EFL Cup 3rd Round - Post-mortem I know these types of match ups aren’t for everyone, but I always look forward to seeing the younger elements of Liverpool FC turn out for the first team. With a full rotation exercise undertaken by Jurgen Klopp, the team sheet...

Gomez: LFC’s most cashable asset?

Ain’t nobody like Joe Gomez…It’s certainly been a challenging campaign for the 25 year old defender. Numerous lows have been punctuated with the occasional high, as Gomez has found himself the focus for many in a struggling Liverpool side. History has counted for the player somewhat with many, but what has been shown on...

Liverpool 0 – 0 Derby County – EFL Cup Player Ratings

Starting XI Caoimhin Kelleher - 8.0 Was a bystander for much of the first half, with just a dodgy back pass by his captain causing issue in the opening 45 mins. Was called into action more in the second half, but was very assured in his work. Calvin Ramsey - 8.0 Was solid through the first half, looking...

How well are Liverpool finishing?

One of the most well-known bits of folk wisdom in football is that if you want to win anything, you must take your chances. Being able to finish well is the mark of an elite goalscorer, and fans groan in frustration when an enthusiastic midfielder shanks a panicked volley miles wide. Although the rise...

Liverpool 0 – 0 Derby County – EFL Cup Man Of The Match

Liverpool 0 - 0 Derby County - EFL Cup Man Of The Match Calvin Ramsey Showed really good drive and strength on his first start. A brilliant engine, coupled with great decisions on and off the ball. Never seemed fazed by the atmosphere, and linked up really well with the forward players. Even had a couple of...

Imagine If We’d Renewed Gini’s Contract

Apparently it annoys some people to mention certain former players, especially those which could (and should) have been retained by the club. In the case of one former red, Gini Wijnaldum, it seems that only one of him or Jordan Henderson were ever going to get improved terms on a new longer term contracts,...
