At 29 years of age, Mohamed Salah stands as one of the five or six best forwards in world football. His goal return since becoming a red is simply phenomenal. 126 goals in 204 games is world class, and with much still to come, we could be about to see him evolve into the...
Diogo Jota has a bit of a knack for not particularly playing that well but managing to find the back of the net. It is a handy trait to have.Â
He did just that against Norwich City in Liverpool’s season opener, scoring the first as the Reds romped to what was a relatively straightforward 3-0...
Earlier on in pre-season, Liverpool journalists claimed Ibrahima Konate was likely going to start the season alongside Joel Matip in defence. It was something of a surprise to see Virgil van Dijk named alongside the former Schalke man in the starting XI against Norwich City on Saturday.
He'd come through the friendlies unscathed but it...
Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah, Sadie Mane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Marco Reus.
Above are just some of the former undervalued assets, or former prospects that were able to reach the pinnacle of football. All have three things in common, Jürgen Klopp being a link to all.
1 - Before their move to a Jürgen Klopp’s side, each was...
Each and every summer, there’s a few squad members that will inevitably be linked with moves away. At Liverpool, and certainly under the management of Jurgen Klopp, this is no different. After a season of frustration, no fans and a last ditch run for Champions League qualification, there are the usual suspects that may...
Extending contracts within a transfer window can be underwhelming for many fans. The need to see a marquee signing arrive can become obsessive, to the point of panic. The new shiny toy can be marvelled at, but we must never forget those who got Liverpool to where they are, and where they strive to...
Neil Jones got a lot of Liverpool fans talking recently when he wrote that 'next summer is already being talked up as a big one by sources close to the club'. I chose, based on past experience, not to read into that. Instead, it was another line in his piece that stood out to...
Any players that are part of the unfortunate group, known as injury prone, approach most summers with their club status in question. With singular long term injuries taking players away for long spells, it can be accepted the inevitability of such injuries. When persistent injuries creep into players games, and GIF’s of players wrapped...
It's fair to say Naby Keita's Liverpool career has been a disappointing one.
There have been sporadic good moments thrown in, whether it be eye-catching performances, silky dribbles or relentless presses, but he hasn't come close to reaching the heights expected of him.
When Keita sealed a move to Liverpool from RB Leipzig in 2017, the...
Heading into this transfer window, there was hope Liverpool would bring in a traditional centre-forward. Someone who could not only fill in for Roberto Firmino but maybe also play alongside him. A player who might’ve been able to give the Reds a bit more of a Plan B. Maybe even someone who might be...
