Can the Attack Fire Liverpool into the Top 4?
The Liverpool Echo, more specifically James Pearce, recently published an article informing Liverpool fans that Jurgen Klopp no longer had an interest in Bayern Munich's Mario Gotze and he was happy with his attacking options moving forward into the new season.
Given the Reds were looking to bring in Monaco's Kylian Mbappe and Rennes' Ousmane Dembele it does strike me as odd that after only one attacking signing coming in so far this Summer in Sadio Mane, and with Jordon …
Sadio Mane - The man to balance the Liverpool attack
Sadio Mane has been the topic of much debate amongst Liverpool fans since news that the Reds were yet again set to raid Southampton became public knowledge. For all the positives surrounding the player and what he'd offer to the side fans, myself included, couldn't overlook two things; he's a Southampton player and the reported fee is £30 million.
We've been here before, twice, and both times have scarred Liverpool fans. Why put your hand back in the fire for …
Liverpool Transfers: It's Not About The Money, Money, Money
Mohammed Salah, Alexis Sanchez, Willian, Clint Dempsey, Diego Costa, Memphis Depay, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, Alex Teixeira, Ousmane Dembele. Different nationalities, positions on the field, huge talent / big names, and plenty of contrasts to one another. But among all these names, there is one common denominator. Liverpool’s failed transfers.
Salah, Diego Costa, and Willian eventually went to Chelsea, Sanchez chose Arsenal, Depay went to Manchester United, Mkhitaryan and Dembele to Borussia Dortmund, Alex Teixeira to China for the peking duck, and …
Gotze to Liverpool: Increasingly unlikely but a match made in heaven
Mario Gotze’s mind must be absolutely pickled.
He has current club Bayern Munich making it abundantly clear that they don’t want him, despite the 23-year-old expressing his desire to stay. It’s almost a bit sad.
Then there’s former team Borussia Dortmund, who remain an option this summer, but don’t exactly seem desperate to re-sign their golden boy from the early part of this decade.
Then, of course, there is Liverpool. The club that we all love so much, but who …
Mario Götze, a Perfect Reunion?
As soon as Jürgen Klopp arrived at Liverpool FC, various newspapers posed the question, 'Which former players from Klopp's Dortmund team would he attempt to sign?', Liverpool have been linked with Ílkay Gündogan, Marco Reus and Neven Subotić, but most recently there have been reports of a summer move for Mario Götze on the cards; fuelled by comments during an interview from Götze himself, saying,
"I have not heard anything. You should ask Klopp if he wants me at Liverpool. If …
The Travesty of Modern Day Ticket Prices
"The word fanatic has been used many times... I think it’s more than fanaticism. It’s a religion to them. The thousands who come here, come to worship... it’s a sort of shrine, it isn’t a football ground." - Bill ShanklyBill Shankly embodied the zeitgeist; during his reign spanning from 1959-74, he developed and nurtured a cultural relationship between the supporters, the players and the club. The fans would do anything for the players, the players would do …
What would signing Mario Gotze mean for Coutinho?
Early last week German tabloids started to report that Bayern Munich weren't in contract negotiations with Mario Gotze to have him commit his future to the club. That's not to say he won't be offered a new contract but by all accounts Bayern tend to get their contract sorted before Christmas. With less than 18 months remaining on his current Bayern deal could the little German be on the move this summer, and would a reunion with Klopp be something …
Changes at Liverpool: Competing at the Top Table
Liverpool FC, its management, the players and supporters have just gone past a frenzied week of activities as the club sacked their manager and appointed a world class name in the form of Jurgen Klopp. In terms of making a statement, that was as big as the club has had in the last few years.
As I look back at the last week, it still brings a smile to my face, but it also brings further thoughts about the club. …
Bring Klopp to the Kop to Replace the Failing Rodgers
Many moons ago (roughly ten), last season ended in glorious failure, of sorts, for Liverpool Football Club and its fans. That failure (to get a point against Chelsea/to keep a lead against Palace) was however, very much tempered by the fact that nobody had truly expected us to ever have been in the position which would have made such a heart-wrenchingly tragic collapse possible. Yes, we were buoyed, despite not winning the title; kept afloat by the fact we'd come …
Oh Captain, My Captain: Should Gerrard Stay or Should He Go?
It’s always been a personal belief of mine that no player is bigger than Liverpool Football Club. This motto has served me well when I thought I’d have died of a broken heart when players have exited the club, but Liverpool Football Club and I have always bounced back and gone from strength to strength. Then came the rumours that Steven Gerrard might leave his beloved Liverpool if he wasn’t offered a contract extension that met his demands.
Unthinkable right? The …
