Liverpool's Need For A Fast Restart
When we overcame Manchester City on the eve of the Premier League season, that Community Shield victory was supposed to lay the pathway for another successful campaign. The first period of this season proved to be a major disappointment, and though we could see there was needs within this Liverpool squad, no one could have predicted just how poor we were going to be.
The red men travel to Dubai this week to undergo their second ‘preseason’ of the year. …
Could Mohammed Kudus Be The Answer?
With the World Cup now in full swing, there will be various names touted as players the Reds should sign. With the recent news that our recruitment department will soon be reshaped, it just adds to the on going saga of new ownership and how the club will operate in a few months time. For the moment however, Liverpool need to remain both proactive and decisive in the transfer market, and add at least one body to the midfield group …
What If Klopp Were To Leave After The Liverpool Buyout…
When FSG announced the club was for sale, there was a moment of surprise, a period of browsing social media, a few group message checks, and finally the wonderment of what we could become. We have been fantastically successful under our current owners, and despite the on-going grumblings of discontent, we couldn’t have won our impressive haul of silverware if not for their own buyout in 2010.
The details of prospective owners seemed to reach its peak about a week …
New Liverpool FC Owners: What Do We Need?
If and when FSG sell Liverpool Football Club, their prime motivation (beyond securing a maximum return on their investment) should be to leave the club in a position where it is financially able to compete with other clubs in a way they simply can't right now.
This is a point Jurgen Klopp acknowledged before the PL game versus Man City a few weeks ago. Selling to owners who can make the club more financially competitive is, whether people like it …
Why Kylian Mbappe should never be a Liverpool transfer target
The Liverpool FC buyout saga has rumbled on, and much of the fanbase will be quietly (or not so quietly) compiling their own dream teams for the new ownership to go and buy. There are of course my own wants and desires, and I would love the Reds to be as competitive as possible, but there has to be limitations on those dreams.
The foundations and history of this club has to be maintained, and no one player should ever …
Outstanding Alisson too busy for Liverpool's liking?
How many of you make noises during Liverpool games that would be absurd if they happened in any other walk of life? Just me?
Sometimes, a moment comes along that produces some sort of wild shriek, such is either the brilliance or the ineptitude of the incident on show.
My latest embarrassing squeal took place last weekend, as Liverpool saw off Southampton in a fashion that strangely seemed both commanding and unconvincing at the same time.
Granted, the Reds ran …
Klopp Hints at More LFC Transfer Concerns Unless Sale Happens
In the lead up to any Premier League game, the managers of the two teams are required to attend a pre-game press conference. With Southampton primed to head to Anfield this past Saturday, the Liverpool manager seemed to take the opportunity to share some thoughts on the Reds' transfer strategy. Whereas we were all expecting notifications of player availability, and the usual denial of anything regarding internal politics, what we actually got was some forthright answers that could impact the …
Liverpool v Southampton - The Premier League Preview
It’s the last game for these two sides before the Wold Cup circus takes over football, and it represents a chance for both to end this first phase of the season on a high. It’s been fairly mediocre till now for both teams, but there has been the odd bright spot, and the last three outings for Liverpool have at least all ended in victory (sort of). Southampton’s away day hammering last weekend brought down the curtain on their manager's …
Gomez: LFC’s most cashable asset?
Ain’t nobody like Joe Gomez…It’s certainly been a challenging campaign for the 25 year old defender. Numerous lows have been punctuated with the occasional high, as Gomez has found himself the focus for many in a struggling Liverpool side. History has counted for the player somewhat with many, but what has been shown on the pitch recently has looked woefully short of what’s needed. As Liverpool head into the January window and with summer plans to consider, there’s understandable question …
How well are Liverpool finishing?
One of the most well-known bits of folk wisdom in football is that if you want to win anything, you must take your chances. Being able to finish well is the mark of an elite goalscorer, and fans groan in frustration when an enthusiastic midfielder shanks a panicked volley miles wide. Although the rise of analytics has somewhat dampened the notion that finishing is the most important part of goalscoring, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have value. Let’s examine every …
