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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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...

Who Could Replace Joe Gomez Next Summer?

I wrote a piece earlier in the season in relation to Joe Gomez. It was centred around the notable talents this England international possesses, and how his former place in the starting line up could be regained, especially with the injuries to Ibou & Matip. You can see the link here, but unfortunately for...

Liverpool Players Who Could Break Into The Euro 2024 England Squad

With England having successfully dispatched Iran 6-2 in their opening game, it gave the nation a spirited start to an otherwise strange World Cup tournament. The winter break seems bizarre, the one love arm band debate is on going, but in between we saw the three lions turn out a pretty ruthless and efficient...

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...
