Goalkeepers LFC Should Target If Adrián Leaves
Adrián has been that steady training ground keeper who has been able to add to a tight knit group at the AXA training ground in Kirkby. It’s often a crazy and unpredictable world being a goalkeeper, and when Adrian was picked up as a free agent from West Ham, it was certainly no different. His persona seems infectious, his support seems unlimited, and it has allowed Jurgen Klopp to give that experienced back up to Alisson Becker, Caoimhin Kelleher and …

Several Liverpool players won’t be participating in the World Cup with the likes of Andrew Robertson, Joe Gomez, Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firminio all left back on Merseyside.

Tony Evans: The Pantspissers Have Been Squealing
The football authorities have developed this unhappy knack of taking something special and ruining it. Generally, it’s in pursuit of money. The World Cup is a perfect example.
Switching focus from the domestic season to a tournament and back again in a six-week period doesn’t work. In a World Cup summer, the season ends, there’s space to readjust before international competition begins and a similar process happens between the final and the new league campaign. There’s a sense of completion …
Is Curtis Jones worthy of his new Liverpool deal?
It's easy to think of Curtis Jones as a forgotten figure during this memorable era at Liverpool.
There have been clear leading men, whether it be Alisson, Virgil van Dijk or Mohamed Salah, among others, as well as a plethora of supporting heroes.
With Jones, however, he has gone from being one of the most talked-about young hopefuls in Liverpool's academy to a fringe player in Jurgen Klopp's squad.
So when it was announced on Thursday that the 21-year-old has …

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 weekend, as Liverpool saw off Southampton in a fashion that strangely seemed both commanding and unconvincing at the same time.
Granted, the Reds ran …
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 to hope this man comes back as fit as he leaves us, as he may just be our most important player right now.
The …
Brazil WC Squad Released: Bobby misses out.
Brazil released their squad for the World Cup in Qatar on Monday evening. The big news for Liverpool was that Roberto Firmino missed out, as Pedro, Richarlison, and Gabriel Jesus were chosen over the Reds' frontman. Fabinho did find his way into the squad, expected to compete for minutes with the Manchester United duo of Casemiro and Fred. Alisson also was unsurprisingly selected for the Seleção, and he is expected to start over Man City keeper Ederson and Palmeiras netminder …
