Why Gini Wijnaldum is a Liverpool legend

Gini Wijnaldum doesn’t get the respect he deserves. He’s one of Jurgen Klopp’s most trusted players, he’s played a key part in Liverpool transitioning from top four hopefuls to Premier League winners and he’s the ultimate clutch player for the Reds.  Against Boro on the final day of the 2016/17 campaign, Wijnaldum bagged the opener...

Why Thiago Signing Could Make Perfect Liverpool Logistical Sense

The 2020/2021 fixtures were released last Thursday, the 20th of August.

Would replacing Wijnaldum with Thiago make Liverpool stronger?

A quiet summer is expected at Liverpool, as Jurgen Klopp again remains content with his squad, give or take the odd departure or new face. Former Southampton trio Nathaniel Clyne, Dejan Lovren and Adam Lallana have all moved on, having become symbols of Liverpool's past, while Norwich's Jamal Lewis could be a rare addition in...

Kirkby, Harvey Elliott and Liverpool’s New Transfer Strategy

Jurgen Klopp wants a 'team full of Scousers'. His proclamation, made during the press-conference before July's win at Brighton, gives a hint towards Liverpool's future transfer strategy.
