Why Liverpool looking at Yunus Malli makes sense

Why Liverpool looking at Yunus Malli makes sense

Ever since Jurgen Klopp was appointed as manager, Liverpool have been tentatively linked to about 90% of the players plying their trade in the Bundesliga. No doubt he arrived at Anfield with a list of players he wanted the recruitment team to cast an eye over. So far the Reds have signed Joel Matip, Loris Karius and Ragnar Klavan from teams in Germany. If reports are to be believed that number will be rising in January with the likes of Niklas Sule, Jonathan …
Middlesbrough vs Liverpool Preview - Key Battles

Middlesbrough vs Liverpool Preview - Key Battles

After getting only one point in the last two games, despite scoring five goals in those games, Liverpool head to the North-East to face Middlesbrough at the Riverside. The Reds last visit to Boro's home was a forgettable one in February 2009, as they lost 2-0 in a loss that cost them ground in the title race that season. Right now, Boro are struggling to show goals. With 13 goals in their 15 games they are the league's lowest scorers. …
Liverpool fan reaction versus player reaction

Liverpool fan reaction versus player reaction

Whilst I understand fans being upset at the nature of Liverpool's capitulation to Bournemouth last weekend (trust me, I was pissed off too), I feel the level of fume by some was somewhat disproportionate. Some people were losing their minds. Yes, it was bad, hence my use of the word capitulation and yes, fans have every right to be upset by the defeat and the nature of it. My issue is how carried away some people got and how quickly …
The Myth Surrounding Loris Karius' Distribution

The Myth Surrounding Loris Karius' Distribution

In the victory over Sunderland there was a moment in the match which saw Liverpool 'keeper Loris Karius kick the ball out of play for a corner as he was trying to play the ball out to Joel Matip. I'm almost certain it's a pass we've all made in our life. We've gone to play a pass with the inside of our foot and it's hit the wrong part and skewed off somewhere. It just so happens when Kairus made the …
Liverpool v Sunderland - Key Battles

Liverpool v Sunderland - Key Battles

After a frustrating Saturday afternoon at St. Mary's where Liverpool did everything but find the back of the net, it is back to Anfield for the Reds, as they welcome cellar dwellers Sunderland. David Moyes's men are confident after a rousing 3-0 win over Hull City, but they will definitely face a completely different proposition in Merseyside on Saturday as the Reds look to get back to winning ways. Jurgen Klopp has stressed on the fact that the performance against …
Liverpool and the entertainment factor

Liverpool and the entertainment factor

Saturday was a bit of a football feast for me, I watched the intriguing 1-1 draw between two of our rivals: Manchester United and Arsenal. I followed that up with our game away to Southampton and finished the day with an enthralling battle between the German Bundesliga's finest: Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich; where Dortmund put in a masterful display to win 1-0. It has to be said that the Bundesliga game was the best of the three that I …
Where is the praise for Liverpool's transfer committee?

Where is the praise for Liverpool's transfer committee?

In English football there has always been an aversion to ‘the continental model’ of football management. The likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Bill Shankley were such enduring individuals at their clubs that the successes of their teams have been attributed to the all powerful men that ruled them. The great managers of English football dominated every facet of their club, and so, unsurprisingly, the attitude in this country has been sympathetic towards managers who want utter control of their clubs, …
Crystal Palace v Liverpool - Key Battles to watch out for

Crystal Palace v Liverpool - Key Battles to watch out for

Selhurst Park has not been a great place for Liverpool to visit recently. Although Liverpool did win there last season, courtesy a late Christian Benteke penalty, it is fair to say that Crystal Palace have been Liverpool's bogey team in the past few seasons. On Saturday, the Reds head to London full of confidence, having dumped Spurs out of the EFL Cup, in the latest in a run of ten unbeaten games, since the shock loss to Burnley in August. Palace lost 3-1 …

Liverpool v West Brom: Key Battles

Liverpool v West Brom: Key Battles

For all that was said about Jose Mourinho and Manchester United for their tactics on Monday, Liverpool played nowhere near as well as they could have and shown us this season. But for the Reds, it is time to put the game behind them and concentrate on the next Premier League game as we welcome West Bromwich Albion to Anfield on Saturday. Adam Lallana will probably start after only coming on from the bench against United and Gini Wijnaldum could …
