Europa League: The Potential Beneficiaries
Well there you have it. It always looked a bridge too far despite the most optimistic of Reds believing it still possible. Barring an excessive miracle, a draw against Aston Villa means Liverpool will start next season in the Europa League. Whilst there maybe a bit of doom and gloom for many, there may well be those that benefit from a varied European campaign and the need for additional squad players to come to the fore. We take a look …
Firmino Leaving Could Help This Prospect
Liverpool are set to lose an all-time club legend in Roberto Firmino this summer after eight years on Merseyside, but one player in Jurgen Klopp's squad could benefit from his departure.
This player would be Fabio Carvalho, who has struggled for minutes in the second half of the 2022/23 season.
A major factor behind Liverpool's late season success has been the remarkable depth in the front three with Klopp having the choice between Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Darwin …
Lessons Learned in the Victory Over Wolves (F.A Cup)
Everything just feels right again doesn’t it! It’s amazing what a win for the Reds can do and FA Cup replay or not, there were so many positives to take from last night it was brilliant. Most importantly with Chelsea coming up at the weekend, it gave Jurgen Klopp some food for thought and that wasn’t lost on Paul Joyce post match, who asked the manager if ‘anyone had played their way in’. It’s certainly easier this time for us …
Lessons Learned: Manchester City (Carabao Cup)
That’s why we missed club football! An end-to-end slugfest with goal mouth action, chances squandered and some real needle between the two teams. Aside form the World Cup Final, how many games could you genuinely say that about in the competition? This was the Carabao Cup and secretly there’s a part of Jurgen Klopp that will be relieved we’re out to bring a slight relief to a congested fixture list, with games to still be rearranged. A few may have …
Carvalho: Too Early to Call it, but Limited Chances to Shine
It can be tough as a youngster in Liverpool’s first team squad. For all the talk about the crowd being forgiving and encouraging youth, the first half of the campaign has meant that the pressures of reality have seen that forgotten on occasions. Time and patience tend to give way to instant judgement and Fabio Carvalho has been a recipient on occasions. The next six months will be key in the 20 year old’s development at Anfield. Whilst no sweeping …
Liverpool vs Napoli: Full XI or Kids?
Liverpool's 3-0 win over Ajax on Wednesday night clinched their spot in the knockout round of the UCL. This puts Liverpool in a familiar position: one game left to play, with nothing on the line. In the extremely rare event that Liverpool beat Napoli by 4, Liverpool would finish first in Group A. However, in any other result, the final table standings remain unchanged, with Napoli on top of the group, and the Reds in second. This brings up one …
Do Liverpool need an attacker?
All of the focus has been on whether or not Liverpool need midfield reinforcements over recent weeks. The attack has been somewhat neglected.
It is one of those areas for the Reds that, on paper, looks well stocked. In reality, though, it is a little light. At surface level, Jurgen Klopp has five senior attackers at his disposal in Mohamed Salah, Diogo Jota, Luis Diaz, Roberto Firmino and Darwn Nunez. He also possesses Fabio Carvalho and Harvey Elliott could play …
Be Patient, The Best Is Yet To Come
When Andy Robertson signed from Hull City, it took nearly half a season for him to work his way into the first team of Liverpool. Albie Moreno was outperforming his expected levels, and the fact that Virgil Van Dijk was marshalling him, meant he was thriving at left back. Robbo was seen as a cheap option (compared to the inflated Ben Chilwell), and his signing didn’t move the needle much. His cost was basically recouped in its entirety, as Hull …
Fabio Carvalho - The Endgame Won’t Alter
The start of this winter transfer window was full of frustration, as the entire fanbase were concerned that FSG would never back any January purchases. Then, much like the past Fabinho deal, a target arose, and was swiftly announced as a red. The speed and confidence with how the deal was confirmed was beyond satisfying, and should point to a more aggressive transfer policy.
The signing of the Columbian international, Luis Diaz, was both unexpected and spectacular. The rumblings of …
Who is Liverpool transfer target Fabio Carvalho?
Fabio Carvalho is set to stay with Fulham this month, but he could be a Liverpool player once this season comes to an end. Marco Silva doesn’t want to sell him, but his contract is almost up and the Reds are believed to be favourites for his signature.
So what is all the fuss about?
Again, the first thing to flag here is that the sample size isn't the largest - just 1,150 minutes in the Championship. It makes him …
