Woltman's Leaving Note
In the world of football, time waits for no one. After an association lasting 15 years, the name Max Woltman will no longer be connected with Liverpool. Though having made only two first-team appearances, the striker's journey through the Reds' ranks has been an inspiring tale.
Woltman's Liverpool story is rich with emotion, excitement, and achievement. Making his debut at the iconic San Siro and playing a full half against Shrewsbury, followed by a brief stint at …
Do these loan players have a future with the Reds?

Liverpool FC: The Need for a Balanced Midfield
Jurgen Klopp's favoured formation appears to be 4-2-3-1, so with this attacking format the two central midfielders have a huge role to play in respect of providing cover for the defence. This piece looks at if currently Liverpool have the players to provide that balance and if not, what do they require, to try to provide Liverpool with a ballast against the attacking flair that is evident within the side, to propel the side up the league this upcoming season.

The Liverpool Kids - The Future or No Future?
As seasons go, this one has been something of a bonus for those Liverpool players looking to make the break through proper into fully fledged first team players.
The arrival of Jurgen Klopp offered a fresh start, and the run in the FA Cup a platform on which to grasp that opportunity and show the boss why they warranted more than just a spot in the shadows going forward.
But now as we enter the twilight of a season that …
Making the Case for Cameron Brannagan
Jürgen Klopp’s debut season has brought a lot of positives so far, one of those being the use of Liverpool’s young players. He started this process by bringing back many of Liverpool’s promising loaned out players, now he has been using a team in the FA Cup composed of mostly inexperienced players with of few first team players. Many of them have stood out for their good performances, but one player who has stood out above the rest is Cameron …
All Eyes on Cam Bran
Somewhere deep inside the Camp Nou is a cabinet. Inside that cabinet, somewhere, is an envelope.

Before I carry on, I should point out the mentioned cabinet and envelope are merely for illustrative purposes and probably …
Liverpool FC 0 West Ham United 0: Player Ratings
The FA Cup game ended in a stalemate; a result which would not have pleased Klopp at all, as it means they have one more additional fixture to play in an already congested season. This is how the players did on a cold night at Liverpool.
Simon Mignolet (5.5) - Mignolet had a relatively idle first-half with no major action happening at the Liverpool end to affect him. He, as usual, reverted to deliberating too much on the ball and …
Liverpool FC: To Buy Or Not To Buy?
The January transfer window is open, Liverpool have thirteen first team players currently out injured, it's time for FSG to splash the cash and show Jürgen Klopp that they mean business at Liverpool. Back him the way they backed Brendan Rodgers. After all Liverpool are still currently in contention for the prized fourth Champions League spot, still in all the domestic cups and more importantly for me (and I never thought I'd say this) still in the Europa League. I …
Liverpool's Midfield - The Heart of the Team, in Need of a Defibrillator!
Editor's note: This article was written prior to Liverpool's win against Manchester City at Etihad on Saturday
I've always believed that the competitive games are won and lost, by the battle in midfield. It's the area of a team so influential to the style, tempo, control and competitiveness of a team. A good midfield will win you games no doubt, but a truly great one wins titles and tournaments.
Attacking players will always command the highest transfer fees in world …
