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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Key Points That Klopp Needs To Address In The World Cup Break

With the remaining Reds that won’t be heading to the World Cup in Qatar, it represents an opportunity to realign what has veered off course this year. Jurgen Klopp and Pep Lijnders will undoubtedly be laying out a route back to consistent success, and I think we would all like to see that old...

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...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool

Another week, another poor Liverpool performance. How has this team fallen so far? From chasing an unprecedented quadruple to losing to the team who entered and ended the weekend bottom of the league. Liverpool lost four matches in all of last season. Four defeats in 63 games. This season couldn't be more different. In...

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly From Liverpool vs Brighton

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...

Liverpool’s Disjointed Attack

The game against Bournemouth was the first time this season that Liverpool had been able to get Luis Diaz and Mohamed Salah involved properly.   Prior to that, the wide forward pairing had struggled to influence proceedings on a consistent basis. Diaz, for example, had taken seven shots in his three Premier League appearances. Across matches...
