Form
Hoffenheim, like Liverpool, only started their competitive season this past weekend. They faced lowly FC Rot-Weiss Erfurt in the DFP Pokal, claiming a solid 1-0 win away from home. They did, however, show some good form over the summer with good...
It's an obvious thing to state and it can perhaps come across as being somewhat condescending, but the transfer window does not close until 11pm UK time on Thursday 31st August. So, at the time of writing this, there's still nearly three more weeks to go. However, it seems that final judgement, in all...
Will this transfer window end?
First Liverpool were getting van Dijk, then they were apologising for getting van Dijk, then they were getting Keita, then they weren’t getting Keita at any price. Salah seemed to take a millennium, Liverpool effectively traded a bang-average Kevin Stewart for a potential-laden Andy Robertson, and the future of Phillipe...
Ask any Liverpool fan, or any football fan for that matter, about where they want their team to be challenging and they’ll give you the same answer. Naturally, they want to be vying for the title, mounting an assault on the domestic cup and pushing for that all-important Champions League trophy.
In order to do...
Given the thrills of the unpredictable, hair-raising Premier League that the media tells us we should embrace and love for it's uniqueness, that all seemed a little predictable.
Liverpool were behind, level, behind, level, ahead and level in a topsy-turvy opening clash with Watford, one that finished 3-3. It was disappointing, but perhaps not a...
Liverpool returned to normalcy against a lower half team by dropping points in the dying seconds of the game. Liverpool woke up from their slumber in the second half to take the lead after trailing twice during the game.
This is how the Reds fared
Simon Mignolet (4.5) - An error filled performance from the stopper...
Earlier this week it was reported Philippe Coutinho would only leave Liverpool if a deal was to be done amicably. This ensured the ball was in the club’s court. As long as we reject any offers, Coutinho would remain a Liverpool player come the start of September.
A morning and afternoon of twists and turns...
Earlier this week, Liverpool announced a new sponsor and company logo to go along with Standard Chartered on the kit. Western Union, the financial and communications company based in Colorado, now have their logo emblazoned on the arm of the new shirt. Liverpool Chief Executive Peter Moore said:
“When the Premier League announced in February...
After three hours of absolute chaos, the dust settled on the news that Philipe Coutinho had officially handed in a transfer request, almost immediately after Liverpool released a statement saying that he would categorically not be leaving the club this summer. Whether the club released the statement and Phil reacted, or the club knew...

Liverpool go into this Premier League season off the back of another good summer, looking to build on a really big improvement in the last twelve months and possibly challenge for the Premier League title. So, based on Liverpool’s summer window, the relative strength of the other teams around us, and of course, Jürgen...
As Liverpool swept Middlesbrough aside on the final day of the season, I was filled with optimism.
Let the fun begin, I thought We had Klopp, Champions League football and reportedly a rather large pot of gold to splurge on some much-needed transfers.
Most importantly, we'd experienced sensible - logical - progression. We'd moved from a...
Yahoo Sport claims that Southampton’s Virgil Van Dijk is being offered a large sum of money to move to Liverpool FC. Liverpool have reportedly offered the star footballer more money than City and Chelsea, and that the Dutchman is seriously considering the move as a result.
Liverpool isn’t the only team wanting to get Van...
Pre-season offers youngsters the chance to stake their claim for the new season; to burst their way into the managers thoughts and prove they have a future. That’s exactly what Ryan Kent has done this summer.
It’s no real surprise, therefore, that Liverpool have tied down the young winger to a new long-term deal, with...
Finally, it is that time of the year, when Liverpool fans can finally shift their attention from Twitter to events on the pitch. The transfer window and the deals (lack of) can be the topic of discussion for another day. This Saturday, when Liverpool face Watford at Vicarage Road, the only thing on the...
In January of 2013, when Liverpool announced the signing of a young Brazilian playmaker from Inter Milan, I read the article on my computer screen and said "Coutin-who?" I knew I'd heard the name, knew it had been associated with words like "flop" and "bust," and when I heard he had joined for around £8.5...
‘This is our year.’ It’s been declared year after year by many Liverpool fans and we’ve been on the receiving end of a lot of stick from rival fans, due to the glaring fact we haven’t won the league since 1990, nor any trophy since 2012.
However, in recent weeks I have sensed more pessimism...

The first weekend of the Premier League season is upon us, along with all of its wonderful unpredictability. Most Reds fans will have been well tuned into the pre-season friendlies. What we have seen no doubt has us excited...
With the great players, you can see the moment at which they are about to become genuinely world-class.
With Steven Gerrard, it was 2004/05, when he matured from being one of Europe’s best young midfielders to one of the finest players on the entire planet.
Luis Suarez did it in 2013/14 - it should never forgotten...
In a summer filled with ITK's, unconfirmed reports and general nonsense, concrete news is always appreciated.
Concrete news is even more appreciated when it's positive for your interests, something Liverpool fans had yesterday as news broke of Virgil Van Dijk handing an official transfer request into Southampton.
Yes, Southampton had known of his desire to leave....
They say the purpose of the darkness is that it makes us appreciate the light. And following a night where publications from opposite corners of the globe had Phil Coutinho packed up and gone, any positive news would have been welcome.
The sun still came up in Liverpool and the headlines improved as the day...
Well, the blood really is up, isn’t it?
To be honest, the last few days have been too much for a man of my all too advancing years and, on Saturday, I took the decision to momentarily mute Twitter until this was all over. After all, I’ve (mis)used these pages before to point out that...
Some of Liverpool’s key rivals for the 2017/18 Premiership title have spent a fortune to on new strikers this summer. Arsenal paid £52 million for Alexandre Lacazette, Chelsea spent £60 million on Alvaro Morata and Man Utd splashed out £75 million on Romelu Lukaku. Tottenham already have Harry Kane and Man City can call...
After Liverpool won their final game of pre-season against Athletic Bilbao 3-1, Jürgen Klopp hinted that Alberto Moreno has managed to save his Liverpool future and that as a result, James Milner will be used in his more natural position in midfield this season, allowing Moreno and Robertson to fight over the left back...
Now that Liverpool’s Champions League qualification opponent has been drawn the club know they will have two matches against Hoffenheim slotted between their opening three Premier League weekends.  The Reds will have very little time to prepare, recover or to sign players before the international break on August 28th.
Saturday, August 12th - Away - Watford
Tuesday,...
With Nathaniel Clyne set to miss Liverpool’s opening Premier League fixture against Watford next Saturday, having failed to feature prominently in pre-season due to hamstring and back injurie, Jurgen Klopp will have a decision to make at the back.
The boss has already confirmed that Alexander-Arnold, Joe Gomez and Jon Flanagan are in contention for...
And so it all comes down to Turn- und Sportgemeinschaft 1899 Hoffenheim e.V., or 1899 Hoffenheim for short. I might start giving them their full name though. I’m definitely getting a half and half scarf.
Being a relatively new club  on the European stage there isn’t a great deal known about the men from Baden-Wurttemberg...

'Adam Lallana out for four months'
For Liverpool fans, this crushing news could hardly have come at a worse time. Yet there was a sense of inevitability about it all.
Jürgen Klopp's comments regarding Lallana's injury was particularly sombre:
'This is certainly not news we would have wanted.
'Unfortunately, the damage is such that it will likely mean...
With speculation surrounding the Naby Keita transfer appearing to fizzle out, it seems more likely than not the Reds won't get their number one transfer target for this summer. As a result, there has been a lot of debate amongst supporters as to whether the club should turn their attention to signing another winger...
