How Darwin Núñez Can Explode Within This New System
Nearly a year ago we welcomed a dynamic, raw, explosive, and exciting young striker to the club. A decision had been made within the halls of the AXA training complex, that a central striker was needed, in order to overcome the common low block which was so often deployed against the reds. With Liverpool searching for a means to catch the sports washing entirety of Manchester City, an adjustment to our forward line was built into our 2022/23 preseason, one …

Southampton 4 - 4 Liverpool - The Post-Mortem
This was a game that meant next to nothing for either side, with both teams no longer fighting their respective battles. Jürgen Klopp chose to reward certain players with a starting berth, having spent so much of the campaign on the substitutes bench. With James Milner & Roberto Firmino undertaking their last starts for Liverpool, you could see that loyalty played a major role in his selection.
Below was Jürgen Klopp’s starting eleven & subsequent in-game changes, against the recently …
Lessons Learned: Southampton
An end of season dead rubber can always be exciting front the neutral perceptive. However, Liverpool were looking to give some legends a send-off and head into the summer with a win so you can be glass half-empty or glass half-full here. An eight goal thriller on the south coast in the sunshine was enjoyed by many, but for the majority of Reds it served as a reminder what’s needed in this upcoming transfer window. We look at the lessons …
LFC Wind Of Change: Salah's Tribute To Firmino
Mohamed Salah's Moving Farewell to Liverpool Teammates Firmino, Milner, Keita, and Oxlade-Chamberlain
Liverpool's Changing Landscape: Farewell to Legends
As the curtain closes on the Liverpool season, the club is set for a seismic change with the departure of beloved Reds: Roberto Firmino, James Milner, Naby Keita, and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. In the wake of this epochal shift, Mohamed Salah, the Egyptian superstar and remaining figure of Liverpool's once mighty attacking trident, takes to Twitter for an emotional farewell.
Salah shared photos …
Firmino The Sub (Who Takes Over??)
Some things within football remain largely the same as they have since the game's earliest days, others have accelerated beyond all control.
Liverpool’s 97th goal by a substitute was scored 32 years and one week after it’s first; Jürgen Klopp has produced the same total of strikes from his bench in under eight years. The most recent occurred last weekend when Roberto Firmino capped his final Anfield outing with an equaliser against Aston Villa. It was a rare bright spot …
Liverpool 1 - 1 - The Post-Mortem
This was expected to be a spectacular final game at Anfield (this season), yet it was reduced to only a final flurry of punches, which inevitably saw the Reds fall short in their attempts for an 8th straight victory. The entire fanbase was committed to our drive for top four, however, the stern resistance and organisation of our visitors reminded us all of the vast summer work that must be carried out. As a raft of players tearfully said their …
Time To Say Goodbye to Two Liverpool Legends
It’s a time for goodbyes at Anfield on Saturday. First off, farewell to a pretty average season. There were times when it was really bad. It’s ended reasonably well but even if Manchester United and Newcastle slip up, it’s been a year of underachievement.
There’s mixed feelings about the players who are leaving. Roberto Firmino has had a brilliant farewell tour. It will culminate in front of the Kop against Aston Villa. There’s been enough love sent Bobby’s way. Actually, …
Firmino Leaving Could Help This Prospect
Liverpool are set to lose an all-time club legend in Roberto Firmino this summer after eight years on Merseyside, but one player in Jurgen Klopp's squad could benefit from his departure.
This player would be Fabio Carvalho, who has struggled for minutes in the second half of the 2022/23 season.
A major factor behind Liverpool's late season success has been the remarkable depth in the front three with Klopp having the choice between Mohamed Salah, Cody Gakpo, Diogo Jota, Darwin …
Golden Gakpo Steps Up as Liverpool's Firmino Heir
Blimey, Jurgen Klopp must be feeling like a kid in a sweet shop with his forwards.
Even with Bobby Firmino on the treatment table, Liverpool's gaffer has Mo Salah, Diogo Jota, Darwin Nunez, Luis Diaz, and Cody Gakpo all scrapping for three spots in the attack.
"The ticket into this team must be and will be counter-pressing," Klopp said, when quizzed by the press about the competition for places.
Gakpo, the lad's status right now is like he's won one …
