Does Alex Oxlade Chamberlain Have A Liverpool Future At Right-Back?

Jurgen Klopp is no stranger to repurposing his players into new on-field roles. At both Borussia Dortmund and at Liverpool, the German has thought outside the box and redeployed players in new positions. Roberto Firmino is perhaps the most example.

Harvey Barnes: A Potential Liverpool Midfield Star

Alex Oxlade Chamberlain has endured a frustrating season with Liverpool. The English midfielder has missed 20 games so far with a knee injury that sidelined him from late August until December. And when the 27-year-old has played he has, understandably, looked short of rhythm and has -- aside from a beautifully executed back heel that allowed...

Sadio Mane’s struggles compound Liverpool’s current misery

Liverpool's Premier League titles are all but over - I think even the most optimistic Reds supporter has accepted that by now. Last weekend's sobering 4-1 loss at the hands of Man City was the moment it became clear that the title would not be heading to Anfield in May, much like last season's win...

Set Piece Toothlessness Hindering Liverpool After Defensive Injury Nightmare

Liverpool's defensive injury crisis has hindered them in so many ways this season. Losing Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, and Joel Matip has obviously hamstrung the defending champions in defence, not that you would necessarily know it from the goals conceded column. The break glass in case of emergency defenders -- Fabinho and Jordan Henderson --...
