Any right-minded Liverpool fan will agree that Georginio Wijnaldum has been an integral part of Liverpool’s resurgence under Jurgen Klopp. Either subtlely — think his defensive acumen allowing the Reds’ full-backs, Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold — or directly — the mind directly goes to the Dutchman’s double in Liverpool’s 4-0 Champions League semi-final […]
Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp insists The Reds have “nobody else to blame” but themselves after failing to finish Newcastle off on Saturday. Mohamed Salah’s early strike put Liverpool on the front foot. However, some dismal finishing and poor game management meant Klopp and co had to settle for a draw after Joe Willock’s injury-time equaliser […]
Twitter was inflamed on Monday by a debate on the success of Thiago Alcantara’s signing at Liverpool. The Spaniard, who arrived at the Reds from defending European Champions FC Bayern in September of last year, has made 19 Premier League appearances this season as the Merseyside club’s title defence falling apart in a campaign plagued […]
Signed as an attacking wide midfielder, the Dutch work horse Wijnaldum was recruited from just relegated Newcastle in what seemed a fairly unspectacular move to strengthen the midfield options in the early days of Klopp’s Reign.

Naby Keita joined Liverpool with much fanfare in the summer of 2018. The Reds pursued the Guinean for the entirety of the summer of 2017, but with his club Red Bull Leipzig, reluctant to sell, a compromise was reached that the English club would pay a £10M premium and sign the midfielder the following summer. […]
It was another eventful weekend for Liverpool with a disappointing Premier League result plus news on a transfer deal apparently almost done. Reds drop vital points against Newcastle Liverpool failed to capitalise on several gilt-edged goal opportunities against Newcastle on Saturday to take all three points. Mohamed Salah put The Reds in front with an […]
Virgil, Joe Gomez & Joel Matip represent a core defensive unit of players that have for the most part been unavailable this season. The ramifications of not signing a Dejan Lovren replacement, in the form of Wesley Fofana or an earlier acquisition of Kabak to add required depth now looks foolish. The system, the counter […]
