How To Take On The Domestic Cups This Year
Liverpool's first game back after the World Cup is in not the Premier League, but the 4th round EFL tie against Manchester City. This game will represent the ideal tune up to the Reds' Boxing Day visit to Villa Park, and getting Pep Guardiola’s side in the last 16 is the perfect draw for Jurgen Klopp.
Apart from Erling Haaland and a few squad players, most of the Etihad roster is spending this next month at the World Cup. The …

Liverpool 3 - 1 Southampton - The Post-mortem
A win is a win, and to sign off for the mid-season World Cup break with three points is a massive bonus for everything Liverpool FC related.
With our manager (Jurgen Klopp) banished to the stands for one game, the pre match once again had an air of uncertainty. Would Southampton explode with that new manager bounce? Would Jurgen jump from the upper stands into the technical area? And would Liverpool once again capitulate at Anfield? The day prior seemed …

How Do We Top Up Our Summer Budget
We are all fully aware that under the FSG rule, we are a club that needs to be (for the most part) self-sufficient. Yes we have vastly improved Anfield, yes we have vastly improved our training facility (with the superb Kirkby structure), and yes we have handed out huge contracts to world-class players. But what we often failed to do is make consistent moves within the transfer market, certainly without a raft of sales being made to lower the net …

Gomez: LFC’s most cashable asset?
Ain’t nobody like Joe Gomez…It’s certainly been a challenging campaign for the 25 year old defender. Numerous lows have been punctuated with the occasional high, as Gomez has found himself the focus for many in a struggling Liverpool side. History has counted for the player somewhat with many, but what has been shown on the pitch recently has looked woefully short of what’s needed. As Liverpool head into the January window and with summer plans to consider, there’s understandable question …

The Ibrahima Konate Effect
The summer before last saw Liverpool pay £34m for Ibrahima Konate, securing his services from German outfit RB Leipzig. The season prior had seen Liverpool‘s central defence end the season with Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams in the first team, as they scrambled for Champions League qualification. That season had seen Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez and Joel Matip, all succumb to long-term injuries. This also came after the sale of Dejan Lovren. Lovren was not replaced that summer, and …

Does Jurgen Need To Switch To A 3-4-3 Formation
With the Liverpool team's on-going issues, there’s also going to be endless antidotes to solve the problems at hand. To start from the top (then all the way down), below probably represents all the pieces that need change, apparently:
The Ownership - FSG
The Sporting Director - Julian Ward
The Chairman - Tom Werner (FSG)
The CEO - Billy Hogan
The Manager - Mr Klopp
The Assistant Manger (Author) - Pepijn Lijnders
The Head Of Medical Services - Andrew Massey

The Good, The Bad and The Ugly from Nottingham Forest vs Liverpool
Another week, another poor Liverpool performance. How has this team fallen so far? From chasing an unprecedented quadruple to losing to the team who entered and ended the weekend bottom of the league. Liverpool lost four matches in all of last season. Four defeats in 63 games. This season couldn't be more different. In just 15 games this season they have already lost four games. In 11 Premier League games, they've now dropped points in seven of them. Last season …

Joe Gomez - An Anfield Career Reborn
Through the summer months and until Joe Gomez signed his new Liverpool deal, there was speculation as to whether the gifted defender could be moved on for a substantial fee. With the current stock not incredibly high amongst English defenders, we have seen the likes of Ben White move for £50 million. If you were to consider the skill set and ability of Joe Gomez to that Ben White, then that would surely make Joe Gomez a £40-£50 million player …

Which Liverpool Players Should Enter Into The Next Phase
It’s international week, and unless it’s a major summer competition, I rarely pay any attention to the results and performances. The games usually revolve around occasions of no consequence, uneven match ups, silly qualification games, and a raft of ever-changing line ups. I checked on Monday to see whether the international break was over, only to learn it hadn’t even started. Liverpool's premature halt in their season has meant a prolonged stop, and it feels longer than the entirety of …

Post-Match RAW: Into The FA Cup Last Four & How to Judge Jota
Cup rotation took place at the weekend, and not just in the Liverpool team to face Nottingham Forest as Guy Drinkel replaced Trevor Downey as host of Post-Match RAW, and Lisa-Marie Hanahan plus Dave Horrocks joined stalwart Dave Hendrick to look back at the narrow victory in the FA Cup quarter-final.
Because of the many changes in the Reds' team it led to plenty of debate about the futures of some of these players on the fringes of Klopp's …
