Should Jordan Henderson Retire from International Football?
In terms of modern-day football and essentially when representing an elite footballing club, it’s important to know when to manage the rigours of top tier competition. The likes of Jamie Carragher, Paul Scholes, and James Milner, all brought their international tenures to an early halt in order to add longevity to their domestic careers. There are of course certain individuals who are determined to hold onto both pursuits, with some of the world’s greatest ever players doing so to good …

Renewing James Milner Is a Step Backwards
Another year goes by, which brings us to the moment where James Milner is primed to be given yet another 1 year’s contract extension.
I’m a fan of James Milner, as I believe he has a superb attitude for football, can offer vast experience (to younger players) and can be a senior presence on the training ground. For the last two years, I have wanted Adrián to have his own contract renewed, as it offered a great level training …

Which Of England’s Current Squad Should LFC Target?
With the international break just about at a close, it has perhaps offered a little more insight into how England will build for the next major tournament. The European Championships are in June 2024; therefore the next 15 months will be about players solidifying their spots in that future squad. Some players, like Trent Alexander-Arnold and Joe Gomez, will be fighting to get back into reckoning, whereas the likes of Curtis Jones & Harvey Elliott may hold a desire to …

Scouting Report: Perr Schuurs
For all the talk of the desperate need for midfield numbers, most reds are keen to see at least one defensive reinforcement come through the door at Anfield this summer. With Joe Gomez and Joel Matip both less than certain of their places with Jurgen Klopp, a centre back option is high on the wish list of many. In this scouting report, we take a look at a player that’s been linked with a move to Liverpool in recent times …

Could Michael Edwards Be Part of INEOS / United Bid?
Investment, transfers and off-the-field matters are dominating discussion during another turgid international break and it’s understandable as to why. With talk of FSG and Liverpool seeking or being close to a minority investment, the rest of the football world has been casting its eyes down the East Lancs road and watching developments closely. Whilst not wanting to talk in great depth about our rivals aside from the 7-0 humiliation in March, there have been murmurs of a former Liverpool incumbent …

Scouting Report: Florian Wirtz
They’re coming through at some pace now as the summer months draw closer. Talk of investment and a potential new Sporting Director gathers speed and so naturally does the rumours around players being linked to Liverpool. This time we look at a player whose been suggested for a move to Anfield for some time and whose on the radar of all major European clubs.

Tony Evans: Missing Out On Bellingham Could Be A Blessing
The international break gives everyone a chance to take stock. Where do Liverpool go in the final third of the season?
The ideal scenario would be to knock Manchester City out of the title race and then bring them back into play by beating Arsenal – dispatching Chelsea on the way. It is a tricky run of games, though. The season could be over very quickly.
Is there any reason to be optimistic? It’s still hard to believe that a …

The Return of Thiago, A New Hope
When Liverpool signed Thiago Alcántara from Bayern Munich, any games where we struggled, pundits would start making all sorts of weird claims. Despite needing an elite controlling midfielder, he would commonly be accused of slowing down our play, or some other strange rhetoric. What his arrival actually did, was enable far more invention against the low block, as teams happily sat on their 18 yard lines for ninety long minutes. That 2020 acquisition was a huge requirement in order to …

Klopp Must Be Banned from The Recruitment Process
Much of the Reds' recent success has been garnered due to the brilliance of Jürgen Klopp. His galvanising of a footballing squad is key to his methods, whilst his coaching abilities helped to revolutionise the way we view modern football. There is no doubt that he was right manager at the right time (when appointed), with the achieved silverware to back up that claim. Despite all of this, he was far from alone in achieving the success that followed his …

Trent Alexander Arnold & Lacklustre Attitude
When Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool were at their rampaging best, they were the world's most feared football club. The system and its components were designed to undertake their bespoke tasks, with opponents commonly beaten into submission. Whenever the Reds lost the ball, they would merely take it back and resume their assault. There was a time when the opposition would be limited to just a couple of half chances, which would inevitably cause Virgil to get angry at having to defend. …
