Why Liverpool Were Wrong To Loan Nathaniel Clyne
Today, it was announced that Liverpool had agreed a deal with Bournemouth to loan out Nathaniel Clyne until the end of the season.

Brexit Babes Boom in Value as January Approaches
Brexit! And you thought you would be able to avoid politics in the warm, comfortable cocoon that is Premier League football. Any small nudge to the freedom of movement principle could have a nuclear bomb sized impact on England’s top division. Liverpool start a maximum of 5 UK born players for any given match these days.

What We've Learnt About Klopp's LFC | Part 2: Midfield dynamics and game impact
Following on from part 1 of this series, which can be read here. After more disappointing dropped points at the Emirates, that piece is worth a read. In this piece, I will take a brief look at the midfield and Klopp's use of his players in his various systems.
