Klopp

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. The club will make less big-name signings, and instead develop a host of talent through their new Kirkby facility. It is a process that will make the...

Can Liverpool answer the challenges ahead?

It was little more than a year ago when I risked being the party pooper. With many still celebrating winning ‘old big ears’ for a sixth time, I suggested that in true Ronnie Moran fashion it was time for the players to put the medals away. I asked the question as to how hungry...

Why Liverpool Must Resist Matip Offers

Rumours emanating from Cameroon suggest that Paris Saint Germain would be interested in signing Liverpool centre half Joel Matip. According to kick442, the Parisians coach, Thomas Tuchel, and their sporting director, Leonardo, would like Matip, 28, to replace the outgoing Thiago Silva who will leave the club on a free transfer this summer.

The remarkable rise of Liverpool’s pre-Klopp Fab Five

Jurgen Klopp is approaching five years as Liverpool manager, which is a frightening sentence to type. Where on earth did the time go? At this point in 2015, Brendan Rodgers was in his final pre-season at Anfield and the Reds were looking to bounce back from the humiliation of a 6-1 defeat away to Stoke. Little...

Exciting Times To Be A Red – Drink It In

The date is Tuesday, 1st May, 1990. Liverpool have beaten Arthur Cox's Derby County 1-0 at Anfield. Having already wrapped up the league title a week prior following a 2-1 win over Queens Park Rangers, the Anfield faithful were preparing to witness Steve McMahon lift the trophy up in the air - for the...

Is James Milner better than Gary McAllister?

James Milner is a Liverpool legend.  A few months into his career at Anfield, it appeared as though he might’ve been more Joe Cole than he was Gary McAllister. For a period of time, it felt as though a Milner performance was a 6/10 and a yellow card was guaranteed. In his defence, though, this...

Farewell Dejan Lovren – A Tribute

Dejan Lovren's six years at Liverpool FC are over, as Zenit St.Petersburg signed the defender for £10.9 million on Monday. There are many reasons as to why Reds should look back on the controversial defender, with fondness. Dejan Lovren debuted for Liverpool against Jurgen Klopp's Borussia Dortmund, in the pre-season of 2014/15. Brendan Rodgers' Reds...

Why Liverpool had to sell Danny Ings

Danny Ings is doing exceptionally well for Southampton this season and because of this people want to rewrite history. He scored 22 goals for the season and just missed out on the golden boot. The 28-year-old has scored or assisted in 57% of the matches he’s featured in. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say...

A Full Circle

I have been a Liverpool fan since 2002 when the football scene in Malaysia was booming. Everyone in school had a favourite English football team. The earliest game I can recall is the one where we lost to Man United 2-1 when the ball went through Dudek's legs to Forlan. Yeah that game! That’s...
