Tony Evans: Klopp's Team Capitulated, He Needs to Sort it Out, Quickly!
The performance in the 3-1 defeat by Brentford was unacceptable. There were so many things wrong that it’s hard to know where to start. It was not the way to open the new year.
Everyone is looking for scapegoats and has their own theory: the midfield is an ongoing problem; the tactics have stopped working; Pep Lijnders is a corrosive influence; age has caught up with the team; and there are internal divisions among the backroom staff.

Sofyan Amrabat & The Low-Cost Alternative
By stepping away from the Enzo & Jude propaganda for a moment, it brings the realisation that a more affordable midfielder may be needed this coming January. No single man (apart from perhaps John Henry) can be aware of the funds that are currently available, especially with Julian Ward serving his final few months as Liverpool’s Sporting Director. With that in mind, recent links to other more attainable bodies may offer a more worthwhile look.
Having watched the World Cup …

Could Jude Be the Eventual Liverpool Number 8…
Below is a link to an article I wrote before the World Cup, before the melee surrounding the on-going LFC ownership. I was assured in my thinking and rightly justified the reasons we could not afford Jude Bellingham. The logic was sound, as the stated price of £100m simply did not fall within a typical FSG model. You can find the link here.
The past few weeks have seen the sale of the club rumble on, with various groups and …

Tony Evans: Henderson Haters Could Put Bellingham Off Signing For Liverpool
The love-in between Jordan Henderson and Jude Bellingham is sending exciting signals to Liverpool fans. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder would clearly fit into the Anfield dressing room with ease.
Bellingham is good. If Liverpool can bring the 19-year-old to Merseyside next summer it will be a coup. All the noises coming from Qatar and Germany suggest there’s a good chance it might happen.
What could put Bellingham off? A huge offer from Manchester City or Real Madrid might make the …

Liverpool's Need For A Fast Restart
When we overcame Manchester City on the eve of the Premier League season, that Community Shield victory was supposed to lay the pathway for another successful campaign. The first period of this season proved to be a major disappointment, and though we could see there was needs within this Liverpool squad, no one could have predicted just how poor we were going to be.
The red men travel to Dubai this week to undergo their second ‘preseason’ of the year. …

Liverpool - World Cup Round of 16 Preview
Time really flies when you're having fun, and so does the 8 minutes of stoppage time when any country is trailing in the World Cup. The group stage is now all wrapped up in Qatar, and it's certainly been full of surprises. Australia, South Korea, Poland, and Morocco all surprised the world and got out of their groups, while big names Belgium, Germany, Mexico, and Uruguay are all heading home. 7 Liverpool players hopped on a flight to Qatar, all …

World Cup Matchday 1: Liverpool Roundup
The first 5 days of the World Cup are now complete, and there's been no lack of excitement. We've seen Qatar embarrassed in their opening match, both members of the 2014 final beaten by Asian teams, and a Keylor Navas performance so bad that Alvaro Morata couldn't make him look good. Drama has been aplenty, with the Qatar government being under constant scrutiny for decisions involving beer sales, "One Love" armbands, and more. Hidden among the chaos have been 7 …

Trent or Henderson to start? England vs Iran betting preview
England kick-off their 2022 World Cup campaign when they take on Iran at 1pm [UK time] on Monday afternoon.
Having made it to the semi-finals of the 2018 World Cup and to the final of the European Championships two years ago, there were high hopes for England ahead of the 2022 World Cup.
A poor build-up to the tournament has dampened some expectations. England endured a dismal Nations League that saw them relegated after finishing bottom of their group behind …

Can The World Cup Reinvigorate Trent Alexander-Arnold?
It’s confirmed, Trent Alexander Arnold will be participating in the World Cup in Qatar. With the injury to Reece James, Gareth Southgate had little choice but to call upon the heavily criticised Liverpool fullback for his final squad list. There has been a few eyebrow raising decisions made (by Southgate), but for the purposes of a successful England campaign, having the world's most creative full back in a squad of 26 seems a no brainer to me.
When you look …

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 …
