Jesper Lindstrøm Scouted – What to Expect From the Frankfurt Star?
There aren’t a lot of football players in Europe with hotter names than Jesper Lindstrøm at the moment. The 22-year-old Eintracht Frankfurt ace has eight goals to his name so far this season and started twice for Denmark at the World Cup in Qatar.
So, who is the young Danish midfielder, and what could he potentially add to Jürgen Klopp’s struggling Liverpool side?
In Daniel Agger’s footsteps

Daniel Agger - Another Great Dane
This past week or so, I’ve seen the form of Joël Matip both questioned and praised. His performances this season have been largely tremendous, with the singular poor outing against Brentford (and an inspired, future red, Ivan Toney). The whole Liverpool side were somewhat shell shocked that day, and every player will occasionally have an off day, so any real criticism is very harsh.
The consequence of his usual great form will always see him compared to other defensive players, …
How Would Carragher Fit Into This Liverpool FC Side?
While it’s practically impossible to improve on the kind of perfection that this Liverpool team has embodied over the last two years...it’s always fun to fantasise, isn’t it?
So with that being said, here’s a Liverpool legend that might just fit into the greatest LFC side of our generation...
When you look at this wonderful, star-studded Reds team, it's sometimes hard to think how it could be bettered.
Let's not forget that this is a side that has dropped five …
Why Van Dijk Should Win Player Of The Year
Such has been the almost unblemished ascent Liverpool have enjoyed to what increasingly looks like an inevitable league title, a lot of the suspense has been removed from the domestic season for the Reds' faithful.
With collective honours a near formality, many fans have instead debated who among the reigning European Champions' squad will win the biggest individual awards come the season's end.
Cases have been made for Sadio Mane and Jordan Henderson to win the player of the year …
Has Oxlade-Chamberlain Become Over-hyped?
Jurgen Klopp has assembled arguably the most likeable Liverpool squad in memory.
Whereas in the past, supporters would have a small selection of genuine heroes to choose from, they are now spoiled for choice.
Everywhere you look, there are superb, Champions League-winning footballers who are also warm, down-to-earth characters, from Alisson in goal right the way through to Sadio Mane in attack.
One player who manages to even stand out from this crowd is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: a loveable person and …
Daniel Agger - The Great Dane
When the news broke last week that Daniel Agger was going to retire aged just 31, I was devastated. Here stands a player, who was a personal hero of mine, so cruelly robbed of what could have been the finest of careers, due to the failings of his body. It's a narrative of the nearly moments, of wondering what quite could have been, for one of the most talented defensive players the club has signed this century.
Whenever anyone discusses …
The Beautiful Game - The Lookers of Liverpool FC
After Liverpool announced the signing of Loris Karius my wife, who has a fleeting interest in football at best, asked if he was a footballer or model which left me thinking what would be the club's best looking team?
From the ‘90s Spice Boys to the face cream team in the Nivea adverts here’s a look back at past and present Liverpool players who arguably make the best looking team of all time.
The Manager: Jurgen Klopp

No Value for money? The January transfer myth
Unicorns. Myth.
Loch Ness Monster. Myth.
Bigfoot. Myth.
My girlfriend saying she'll only go in one shop. Myth.
No value in the January transfer window. Myth.
All are spoken about as though they're fact when in reality they're no more than myths.
Of course you can find the odd bit of evidence to support these claims, "Sam remember that time over Christmas 2012 when I went into the first shop and bought that coat", "Remember when we signed Andy Carroll …
Sakho - The Parisian titan's injury couldn't be crueller
rIt has been clear to Liverpool fans for a while that Mamadou Sakho is an absolute titan of a man. He shows a passion for the club that scousers can identify with, but more than that he is the complete modern centre-half. He is comfortable getting tight on strikers, stepping up and defending on his massive front foot, but he is also a fantastic defender in the box, never caught out of position and a fully committed header of the …
The Defensive Spine - Ten Years of Decisions
All football clubs make decisions based on scouting, word of mouth etc, on players they believe can improve their football side now, or in the future where they look to unearth new gems, the next Messi, the next Zidane, you hear quite a bit from fans and the media, but in reality very small numbers of players reach the potential of those elite players.
A number of clubs have the financial clout to take these risks, but this article looks …
