The League Cup Final – After the Dust has Settled

There’s little more painful in sport than the Cup Final defeat. As Liverpool fans we’ve seen both sides of the coin. Jubilation and despair. Unfortunately, on Sunday at Wembley, it was despair.

Inconsistency has been a hallmark of Liverpool's performances since the start of Brendan Rodgers' tenure in 2012, but why do Liverpool still struggle to put together a string of successive good performances, or put a small handful of fantastic performances in between a sandwich of dull, slow and rather boring ones? There is no clear answer...

Wingers Liverpool could target to ease Klopp’s concerns

"We have enough strikers – five with Roberto – but not too many wingers, just a few young ones with great potential."

Roberto Firmino – Exposing The Myths
