Trace your mind back to the opening weeks of this season, when Andy Robertson and Trent Alexander-Arnold did a string of ‘Wingmen’ episodes on Instagram. Clearly filmed in the summer months, judging by the weather, Liverpool’s brilliant full-backs were full of life, laughing, joking and basking in the glory of being newly-crowned Premier League champions.

Any right-minded Liverpool fan will agree that Georginio Wijnaldum has been an integral part of Liverpool’s resurgence under Jurgen Klopp. Either subtlely — think his defensive acumen allowing the Reds’ full-backs, Andrew Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold — or directly — the mind directly goes to the Dutchman’s double in Liverpool’s 4-0 Champions League semi-final […]
Twitter was inflamed on Monday by a debate on the success of Thiago Alcantara’s signing at Liverpool. The Spaniard, who arrived at the Reds from defending European Champions FC Bayern in September of last year, has made 19 Premier League appearances this season as the Merseyside club’s title defence falling apart in a campaign plagued […]
Signed as an attacking wide midfielder, the Dutch work horse Wijnaldum was recruited from just relegated Newcastle in what seemed a fairly unspectacular move to strengthen the midfield options in the early days of Klopp’s Reign. Fast forward 5 years later and the once gifted wide man, with lots of potential, is poised to depart […]

Mainstream media has been forced into embracing this part of the sport over recent seasons. They initially resisted, but it quickly became a case of adapt or perish. As […]
Naby Keita joined Liverpool with much fanfare in the summer of 2018. The Reds pursued the Guinean for the entirety of the summer of 2017, but with his club Red Bull Leipzig, reluctant to sell, a compromise was reached that the English club would pay a £10M premium and sign the midfielder the following summer.

Virgil, Joe Gomez & Joel Matip represent a core defensive unit of players that have for the most part been unavailable this season. The ramifications of not signing a Dejan Lovren replacement, in the form of Wesley Fofana or an earlier acquisition of Kabak to add required depth now looks foolish. The system, the counter […]
The Super League, a revolutionary idea that was shunned by the masses, ill prepared for public consumption by the instigators and put back into its box for normality to resume within the elite football corridors throughout Europe. UEFA are no shining light with their failures, short comings and inability to implement Financial Fair Play did […]
After a couple of days of speculation, the plug was officially pulled on the half-baked European Super League idea last Tuesday. With thermonuclear levels of furore — from managers, players, politicians and sponsors alike — the architects of the proposed replacement of the Champions League, Andrea Agnelli of Juventus and Florentino Perez of Real Madrid, […]
