Hopes For The International Break
There’s more than a few reds who would happily just end the season this second if it was offered to them right now. Out of the Champions League at the last 16, suffering from an injury-plagued campaign and with the top four looking an outside hope rather than expectation. April starts with two tough away games at Manchester City and Chelsea, which may see it get worse before it gets any better so we may need to strap ourselves in. …
Fighting Front Three From Five: Bring It On
It still seems almost crazy when you think back to Sunday’s events. Seven goals and more importantly four of Liverpool’s senior forwards found themselves on the scoresheet. With Bobby Firmino’s departure being announced this week, a lot of the reminiscing has quite rightly been about the original front three and how Mo Salah will be the only one remaining by the start of the next campaign. The United game may have slightly altered the conversation for many Red though about …
Absent Luis Diaz an underrated reason for Liverpool's struggles
A year ago, almost to the day, Liverpool were completing the signing of Luis Diaz, giving their 2021/22 season a much-needed injection of quality and fresh legs.
History may look back on that campaign differently, as the Reds lay on the cusp of an unprecedented quadruple at one point, but it was a grind at times.
When Diaz arrived, Liverpool were well adrift of Man City in the Premier League title race and their performances were often unconvincing.
Who else …
Why I Believe We Will Sign Moisés Caicedo, Just Not Yet…
With the January transfer window now officially open, the country’s football supporting fraternity waits for their respective teams to spend their money. Sports journalism will be rife for the next month, with rumour, speculation, and a willingness to write about anything that may happen.
That is exactly what I’m going to be doing right now, on behalf of all Liverpool fans that are craving their own central midfield addition.
Whilst our German manager has previously stated the volume of midfield …
Cody Gakpo: Swiftness Born Out Of Necessity
So much for a quiet Boxing Day eh? No sooner had the dust settled on the Villa win and a swift Christmas Cinzano, than chaos erupted. A long, forgotten Paul Joyce bombshell was dropped in the form of a breaking move for Cody Gakpo. In true recent Liverpool transfer style, advanced negotiations quickly gave way to a rumoured six-year deal and the Dutch international heading to Merseyside as confirmed by his club PSV. This is a boost for the Reds …
Could Fábio Carvalho Emulate Coutinho after the Diaz Injury
We can now assume that both Luis Diaz and Diogo Jota will be sidelined until about March, though the latter may be back a touch earlier. This represents yet another cringe invoking moment, that will see this Liverpool forward group down to its bare bones. Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Darwin Núñez stand as the last three senior forwards available to Jurgen Klopp right now, which is something that is causing a true dilemma.
Though we saw Darwin cause various …
Could Marcus Thuram be the Man in Attack?
As much as I have longed for a return to Liverpool’s stuttering season, the closer it gets the more it is making me concerned with what actually awaits. The summer months (prior to this season) were full of hope and expectation, yet the flurry of losses quickly put an end to that fantasy. With winter now in full swing and my surroundings a melee of snow and ice, it means the January transfer window is almost upon us, and silly …
A Festive Chance for Curtis Jones After the Diaz News
Most of our young players split opinion within our fan base, much like many of our players this season to be fair. With the Reds' preseason - part two - now fully underway we are becoming more aware of player availability, and where the midfield has caused much concern this term, the attack just asked that group to hold its own beer.
As the Premier League restart quickly closes in, we can start to make assumptions about what we can …
Luis Diaz Injury: January Transfer Rethink?
Amidst all the Friday drama in the footballing world, there was only one thing that really devastated and worried Liverpool fans. It hasn’t yet been confirmed by the club, but Pipe Sierra’s tweet that fellow countryman Luis Diaz requires surgery and is likely to be out until March felt like a proverbial kick in the guts. Sierra was the journalist who first broke the former Porto forwards move to Anfield and only a blind hope rails against this being accurate. …
Christopher Nkunku - Time To Take Hijack Chelsea's Attempts to Sign Him
Naby Keïta, Ibrahima Konaté and Takumi Minamino are all players that have been recruited from the RB group, either from Salzburg or Leipzig. We have also seen multiple stories linking us with various other players, and if not for COVID, we probably would have signed Timo Werner ahead of his move to Chelsea. The likes of Konrad Laimer and Noah Okafor are the latest names to do the pre January rounds, but it is another player that I believe could …
