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 …
How To Take On The Domestic Cups This Year
Liverpool's first game back after the World Cup is in not the Premier League, but the 4th round EFL tie against Manchester City. This game will represent the ideal tune up to the Reds' Boxing Day visit to Villa Park, and getting Pep Guardiola’s side in the last 16 is the perfect draw for Jurgen Klopp.
Apart from Erling Haaland and a few squad players, most of the Etihad roster is spending this next month at the World Cup. The …
Should I Stay or Should I Go? Decisions for Liverpool’s Best Back-Ups
January and Liverpool’s short-term needs will consume most Reds for the next few months, before a return post World Cup. Nothing will be completely solved in one transfer window, but the summer may also bring certain challenges that many hadn’t expected. For all the midfield talk that dominates articles, pods and all other fan chat, there’s a niggling longer-term concern around certain squad players. Jurgen Klopp has real strength in depth for certain positions. That could well come under threat …
How Do We Top Up Our Summer Budget
We are all fully aware that under the FSG rule, we are a club that needs to be (for the most part) self-sufficient. Yes we have vastly improved Anfield, yes we have vastly improved our training facility (with the superb Kirkby structure), and yes we have handed out huge contracts to world-class players. But what we often failed to do is make consistent moves within the transfer market, certainly without a raft of sales being made to lower the net …
Which Liverpool Players Would Benefit From A Loan
With the on-going saga surrounding new ownership, and the news regarding FSG being willing to listen to offers, it puts the next few months (for LFC) in the air. Presumably, varying conditions will need to be met in order to become viable owners, and I believe there is enough professional respect from John Henry that he will ensure the new ownership enhances the Reds' on-field objectives.
We are a squad that is beginning to age out, and despite some youthful …
Liverpool 0 - 0 Derby County - EFL Cup Player Ratings
Starting XI
Caoimhin Kelleher - 8.0
Was a bystander for much of the first half, with just a dodgy back pass by his captain causing issue in the opening 45 mins. Was called into action more in the second half, but was very assured in his work.
Calvin Ramsey - 8.0
Was solid through the first half, looking strong and energetic. Had a couple of efforts in that opening period, which showed the confidence of the young Scot. Was again …
Liverpool v Derby - The EFL Cup 3rd Round Preview
The League Cup holders begin the process of their defence this week, in welcoming Derby County to Anfield on Wednesday evening. With an inconsistent start to their Premier League season, the reds three ongoing (& imminent cup runs) could represent the best chance of silverware this year.
Derby County enter the contest on the back of two score draws, and looking to find their own rhythm. Their away draw to Morecombe (1-1) was quickly followed by their 2-2 draw away …
Liverpool - Chelsea - Man of the Match
Caoimhin Kelleher
This young man was outstanding today, and certainly silenced any pre-game doubters. A great early stop from Christian Pulisic allowed Liverpool to edge into the contest, and a series of good stops throughout the game was a wonderful sight. His opposite number for Chelsea, Eduard Mendy, was also sensational, and it was a flip of a coin as to who was the better on the day. The 94th minute stop by Caoimhin Kelleher, at the feet of Romelu …
Key Stats as Triumphant Liverpool win the Carabao Cup Final

A Close Final
This was a spectacular game, with great play on both sides. And yet, despite a number …
Player Ratings as Reds are crowned League Cup Champions
We all need to catch our breaths after that Carabao Cup final. After an absolutely amazing 120 minutes ended 0-0, Kepa Arrizabalaga blazed the 22nd penalty of an incredible shootout over the bar, to give Jurgen Klopp his first domestic cup as manager of Liverpool.
It was an even game throughout with both goalkeepers excelling in regulation time, and in extra time. It was scarcely believable that 120 minutes couldn't produce a goal. What followed was also scarcely believable penalty …
