Defensive Reinforcements: Schmadtke May Need To Play Bad Cop
Focusing on Lavia, Henderson, and Fabinho
Lavia, Henderson and Fabinho. Pretty much every Liverpool story, tweet, ideas or discussion has revolved around those three players (understandably) for the last week or so. Even articles from the man who everyone has notifications set - David Ornstein - has been reporting on those situations.
Defensive Gaps Overlooked
From a defensive situation that the picture maybe being ignored somewhat is a worry. We’ve heard the likes of Inacio, Pavard and van de Ven …
Could This Be the Season That Joe Gomez Bounces Back?
Gomez's Potential Resurgence
Amidst the drama surrounding both Fabinho and the captain moving to Saudi Arabia, all the attention has thus far been focused on the red’s midfield regeneration. Though our recruitment team have clearly been keeping their eyes on a new left sided central defender, it does appear that this addition will not see anyone other than Nat Phillips moved on. My idea is to see a versatile left footed defender brought in, so that the transition from 3-4-3 …

The talented youngster has caught the attention of many, including Liverpool's meticulous manager, Jurgen Klopp, who seems poised to refresh the Anfield defence.

Balancing Act: Liverpool's Midfield and Defensive Dilemma
Liverpool FC's Transfer Strategy: A Balancing Act between Midfield and Defence
With the transfer window wide open, there is much speculation about the moves Liverpool FC will make. While midfield reinforcements may be a focal point for the Merseyside club, Jurgen Klopp's recent statements suggest that the defensive department isn't entirely off the table.
Klopp's Stance on Defence
Though Klopp's primary attention may seem directed towards strengthening the midfield, he didn't shy away from emphasising the importance of young rotational …
Pavard on Klopp's Radar as Summer Window Approaches
Liverpool Sets Sights on Benjamin Pavard
As the mercury climbs and summer rears its head, Liverpool's preparations for the forthcoming season are already well under way. No longer is the focus solely on midfield reinforcements, as rumours have it that the World Cup-winning defender, Benjamin Pavard, might find himself trading his Bayern jersey for a Liver Bird.
Confirming the speculation is Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany, a trusted authority on German football. His recent reports list Liverpool as a …
Joe Gomez: A Good Think By Both Parties
Liverpool are back in with a shout of a Champions League spot. Six wins on the bounce, Mo Salah scoring nine in a row at Anfield and United are within a point (albeit with a game in hand). The recent positives are exponential as Trent returns to form, Gakpo looks more like the Bobby replacement every game and Curtis Jones looks to have found his place. There are always winners and losers in a tactical/formation switch and whilst some are …
Liverpool 2 - 5 Real Madrid - PL Player Ratings
Liverpool 2 - 5 Real Madrid - PL Player Ratings
Alisson Becker - 4.0
This game had all the makings of becoming the battle of two world class keepers. Despite a couple of good first half moments, Ali was unable to reach his usual levels on greatness within a very strange game. Some uncharacteristic mistakes can be forgiven, yet the goals conceded were tough. Am off night, one of the few.
Trent Alexander Arnold - 4.0
These are the type …
Why Fabinho Should Be the Short and Long Term Centre Back Option
With the demoralising news of Ibrahima Konaté now being side-lined for a few weeks, it leaves Jürgen Klopp with a real decision to make. We already know that Virgil will be missing for most of February, therefore that leaves a centre half group comprising Joël Matip, Joe Gomez, Nat Phillips and Rhys Williams. With so much uncertainty within the rest of the team, it surely makes a recent midfield omission a prominent avenue by which to explore.
In the 2020/21 …
Liverpool 0 - 0 Chelsea - PL Man of the Match
Liverpool 0 - 0 Chelsea - PL Man of the Match
Ibrahima Konate
Ibou is every inch the Virgil successor, and his 6ft 4 inch frame continues to defy his tender years.
With a continual blockade representing his defensive style, his physical approach is giving strikers little room to excel.
A good relationship is brewing with himself and Joe Gomez, and the pair have an understanding that is making the back line less easy to get beyond.
His signing …
Lessons Learned: Manchester City (Carabao Cup)
That’s why we missed club football! An end-to-end slugfest with goal mouth action, chances squandered and some real needle between the two teams. Aside form the World Cup Final, how many games could you genuinely say that about in the competition? This was the Carabao Cup and secretly there’s a part of Jurgen Klopp that will be relieved we’re out to bring a slight relief to a congested fixture list, with games to still be rearranged. A few may have …
