Endō's Transition to Liverpool
Last week saw Japan captain, Wataru Endō, produce his most complete performance yet, as he undertook ninety minutes against Austrian Bundesliga side, LASK. Some may say that the standard of the opposition makes the level of performance hard to measure, yet I was more impressed with how he excelled amongst and...
Liverpool's Convincing Victory
Liverpool put in a convincing performance as they came out comfortable 2-0 winners against Sheffield United on Wednesday night. Goals from Virgil Van Dijk and Dominik Szoboszlai were enough to secure a crucial three points on the road. The victory puts the Reds just one point off Arsenal at the top of...
Reds Need A Change of Tactics Soon
The way this current 2023/24 season is unfolding has me in little doubt that whatever formation initiative is being undertaken (this year), will eventually be replaced by the Reds' illustrious German manager. Whether or not the decision to switch Trent Alexander-Arnold into the hybrid role (late last season)...
Why so many injuries?
Ever since Liverpool lost the Dutch brilliance of Georginio Wijnaldum in 2021, I generally find myself dedicating a handful of articles to the former red each season there since, given his understated importance to Liverpool 1.0. I have lessened the volume of such pieces, with these very words being the first...
Liverpool's Midfield Evolution...Not Finished Yet
Despite the signings of Dominik Szobozslai, Alexis Mac Allister, Ryan Gravenberch and Wataru Endo in the summer, Liverpool are still expected to sign at least one more midfielder in the near future.
Fluminense midfielder, Andre, has been labelled as the favourite to make the switch to Anfield over recent months, but...
Transfer Confusion and Choices
I was very sceptical about the signing of Ryan Gravenberch in the summer, mostly because it came only weeks after Liverpool failed to capture the world class destroyer, Moisés Caicedo. The fact that no elite defensive midfielder was recruited still causes me confusion and annoyance, as it was the most important...
New Sporting Director?
As The Reds start to zero in on their next Sporting CEO, I would imagine Jürgen Klopp will have a list of wants ready to be delivered to his new recruitment chief. Max Eberl is the man currently being talked about most, especially given that RB Leipzig terminated the contract of their...
Reds’ Right-Back Biggest Hole?
I have just endured the England v Australia friendly at Wembley Stadium (finishing 1-0), which was as uninspiring a game of football as I expected it to be. International football, for me at least, is part of the game that I struggle to fully invest in, especially away from either the...
Is André the January Answer to Liverpool’s Midfield Conundrum…?
André is a name that swirled around the Anfield gossip pages throughout the summer, as someone that the Liverpool recruitment team were apparently very keen on. A deal could not be struck in the preseason, essentially given his importance to his club side. The Fluminense central...
Number Six Option for Liverpool
As we all wait to see our respective national teams undertake yet another batch of frustrating international friendlies, I will be looking at the next defensive midfield option that Liverpool may explore in the upcoming January transfer window. With my preferred target youngster, Lucas Gourna-Douath, addressed in an article earlier...
