Three right-backs Liverpool should target in the summer

Reports in recent weeks have suggested that Liverpool could be in the market to sign a right-back in the upcoming summer transfer window to help tighten up their defence. These claims have arguably been backed up by the change of system by Jurgen Klopp, which has seen Trent Alexander-Arnold excel in a midfield role rather...

Bradley’s Rise: Teen Prodigy Gunning for Liverpool First-Team

Right, gather round folks, because we've got a tasty morsel of news for you: Liverpool are apparently plotting to catapult young Conor Bradley into the first-team mix this summer, after the lad's been having a right old knees-up on loan at Bolton Wanderers. The Athletic has been whispering in our ears that the Reds are...

How this New System Suits Liverpool’s Squad…

In the past two games for Liverpool FC, we have seen Jürgen Klopp adjust his formation and strategy in order to create form and rhythm for his struggling team.

Dave Hendrick: If Klopp wants to stick with this shape, he might need a new left back

Over the last couple of games, we have seen quite a significant change in the shape Liverpool are taking up when in possession and it has led to some unusually high possession numbers for the Reds.

How The Trent Positional Shift Can Tell a Tactical Story…

At the weekend we saw a magnificent footballing spectacle between two of English footballs most historic clubs. Anfield played host to the current Premier League leaders, Arsenal, in a game which could still help decide who the eventual Champions will be. It was very much a game of two halves, as the North London...

LFC Players That Deserved More England Recognition 

In the light of Trent Alexander Arnold’s latest England International snub, it’s a continuation of the question as to whether he deserves to be there or not. With a mere 18-caps to his name, the 23-year-old has consistently remained either the third or fourth choice in Gareth Southgate’s eyes. As it stands, this season...

Levi Colwill & The Left Sided Addition

The evolution of systems and formations come about every few years. Some coaches will persevere with their trusted ideologies, whereas others will fall on their sword, in a desperate bid to stand their ground.
