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...
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...
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...
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...

If we thought the international break might give Jurgen Klopp and his staff time to figure out what's wrong with his team, we were wrong.
If we thought Liverpool's players might return with renewed vigour and show an acceptable level of intensity and desire, we were wrong.
If we thought Brighton might struggle under a new...
The game against Bournemouth was the first time this season that Liverpool had been able to get Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah involved properly. Â
