Liverpool Make World-Class Stars
Jamie Carragher is right, Liverpool don’t tend to buy superstars. Speaking after the 1-0 win over Spurs, the former Reds centre-back heaped praise on Jurgen Klopp and the recruitment team at Anfield.
"It's not that Liverpool are just buying players with this special ability that nobody else sees these players," Carragher told Sky Sports.
"[Andy] Robertson came from Hull City, [Gini] Wijnaldum was relegated with Newcastle United, Mohamed Salah had been at Chelsea, Sadio Mane had been in the Premier …

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp is expecting three of The Reds' senior players to return to full training this week ahead of Sunday's clash with Manchester United at Anfield.
The three players Klopp was speaking about are Fabinho, Joel Matip and Dejan Lovren.
Fabinho has been out since picking up an injury in the 1-1 Champions League draw with Napoli back in November. Matip hasn't featured since the draw with Manchester United at Old Trafford in October. Lovren is returning from …
Debunking the Fabinho myth
A lot has changed for Liverpool over recent seasons. In the past, when a star name was ruled out through injury fans would count down the days until his return. Now, however, talk turns to whether or not they even get back into the team upon their recovery. When Fabinho hobbled off against Napoli, fans feared the Reds would struggle without him. For the first part of the 2019/20 campaign, a case could be made that the former Monaco man …

Liverpool 1-0 Everton: Who Was Boy of the Match?
Even against a Liverpool team with an average age of 8 years old, Everton still could not find a way to win at Anfield. That old Shankly quote about the Liverpool reserves being the second best team on Merseyside has never been more relevant than it is today.

Tactical analysis: Henderson's new role in absence of Fabinho
By Reece Chambers
When Liverpool signed Fabinho from AS Monaco in July 2018 for an estimated £40million, there was a degree of uncertainty as to what he would bring to Jurgen Klopp’s team.

Minamino Signing Means New Liverpool Transfer Strategy
Pending a successful medical, Liverpool will sign Japan international Takumi Minamino from RB Salzburg in January.
After impressing twice against the Reds in this season's Champions League group stage, the 24 year old will join £7.25M after the European Champions elected to trigger his paltry release clause.
Capable of playing across the front three, off the striker or even as the most advanced central midfielder in a three, Minamino could well prove to be another shrewd piece of transfer business …
