Livin' with Vida Lovren - Reds seek second Croatian
Liverpool has several up and down performers, but their most mercurial has been on a helluva high since the calendars turned to 2018. The World Cup has been no exception, as Croatia have made the elite eight, allowing only two goals in four matches.
Dejan Lovren’s stock has risen so high apparently that Liverpool have begun to consider transfer deals for anyone in his radius. According to reports out of Turkey, Lovren’s back line buddy, Domagoj Vida has been the …
It’s Time for Liverpool to Raid Milan
When the news broke this week that Italian giants AC Milan would be banned from European play, it further cemented the recent decline of one of football’s greatest clubs. The club that offered so many glorious memories from the past, is now a shell of itself and the outlook of recovery may be even worse. The club couldn’t curb its losses prior to the 2016-2017 campaign and have made their situation even worse by spending over €150 million in new …
A Chance for Gomez to Shine at Centre-Back?
Kiev only feels like yesterday but Liverpool are almost back in pre-season training.
The World Cup has been a lovely distraction from all things Reds - the tournament will still be going on during the first few friendlies, slightly bizarrely - but now it's time to switch on again.
Up the 'This Is Our Year' Reds!
There is going to be so much to consume in pre-season, from the performances of new pair Naby Keita and Fabinho to the response …

Liverpool's Premier League Lineups - A Stats Analysis: Part 1
The Premier League season is over. Man City dominated the season like no club has done in recent (and not so recent) times. For Liverpool, the campaign was relatively successful with the team managing to qualify for the Champions League for the second straight time - something that hasn't happened since a certain Spaniard was at the helm of the club. The Reds conceded fewer than 40 goals for the first since 2010. And Mo Salah won every possible award …
Drink In Every Second Of Liverpool’s Champions League Final Build-Up
Not every football supporter is lucky enough to have a Champions League final to look forward to. Some will never experience it.
Most have already erased football from their minds, for the time being, recharging the batteries and focusing on other interests, prior to the World Cup taking over their summer.
That couldn’t be further from the case with Liverpool, though.
Premier League duties may be done and dusted, with the Reds nailing their pre-season objective of registering consecutive top-four …
Quality Over Quantity - A Quiet Summer for LFC?
Liverpool are rapidly heading towards yet another pivotal summer for the club. With the type of manager than Jürgen Klopp is, and the way that Liverpool are developing – not to mention the current Premier League climate – every single transfer window feels absolutely vital.
But in many respects, the constant overhype of every window, the questions of how this side will develop and how big the overhaul will be are contrary to Klopp’s own way of looking at things, …
Liverpool's European Hangover - Statistical Analysis
The Reds are marching on Kiev! What a week, what an achievement! Jurgen Klopp managed to reach his second European final with Liverpool in his second European campaign. Hopefully this time he takes the team a step further than the last time around. The German is yet to lose at Anfield in Europe - a truly remarkable run. With all the excitement surrounding our success in the Champions League, it's easy to dismiss the lack of such domestically. Ahead of …
