What Makes The Reds So Great Part 2
Before the worldwide coronavirus pandemic ground the Premier League season to what we are assured is a temporary halt, Liverpool looked set to win the league title at a canter.
Winning 27 out of their 29 games, the Reds — who have beaten every other team in the league on their remarkable run — find themselves a full 25 points ahead of second-place Manchester City and, mathematically, only need two more wins to claim the clubs’ 19th league success and …
Jan Vertonghen: Liverpool's Deluxe Klavan
Despite football -- like the vast majority of society -- being in a COVID19 pause, the transfer rumour mill continues to grind.
Uncertainty regarding when football will return and what the post-coronavirus state of play will play hasn't stopped players talking about what their futures might hold and fanning the flames of transfer speculation.
One such player is Tottenham Hotspurs' Jan Vertonghen. Speaking to Belgian publication Play Sports, the defender admitted his future could lie away from north London.
"I want …
Why Mario Gotze could be perfect for Liverpool
“He taught me everything about professional football. He let me play. I often speak to [Jurgen] Klopp. We never stopped talking. He knows me very well and that I am always looking for new challenges.”
Mario Gotze, speaking to DAZN earlier this year, left the door ajar on a potential reunion with Klopp. He was on Liverpool’s radar in 2016, too, but opted for a return to Borussia Dortmund at the time.
Speaking in the 2018 documentary, Being Mario Gotze, …
Liverpool's most important win of the Klopp era
Liverpool have excelled with Jurgen Klopp at the helm, going from mediocre top-four hopefuls to champions of the world in the space of four years.
The German has not only ensured his side play some of the most eye-catching football in the club's history, but has also brought with him a winning mentality that has rubbed off on his players.
When looking back at some of the most memorable victories of the Klopp era, there are a number of games …
Should Liverpool be interested in Diego Carlos?
Liverpool were on pace to break the record for most points in a single Premier League campaign before football was paused. Remarkably, the Reds had won 93% of their matches in the English top-flight this term. For a bit of context, the Manchester City centurions, regarded by many to be one of the best sides ever, won 84% of their games.
It highlights just how incredible this Liverpool side is. Upgrading any area isn’t easy but with football perpetually evolving, …

Where would Luis Garcia fit into this Liverpool team?
It’s easy to imagine how Liverpool greats from the Premier League era would fit into this current side. There’s are obvious places for Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez, Xabi Alonso and Jamie Carragher. You could even shoehorn Philippe Coutinho back into this side, too. Maybe even Fernando Torres at a push.
But very few people would ever think to mention Luis Garcia.
However, I’m of the belief that he’s very much a Jurgen Klopp sort of player and that the German …
Why Wijnaldum warrants a new Liverpool contract
All talk surrounding Liverpool at the moment surrounds when the season will resume and when Klopps men will finally get their hands in that nineteenth league title.
This is big issue number one, of course, but under the surface, there are a number of interesting sub-plots simmering away on the back burner that make for quite interesting thinking.
One of those issues surround one of Klopp's first signing and one of his most trusted lieutenants, Gini Wijnaldum.
Since his arrival …
Why Alexander-Arnold is Gerrard's heir
Countless players have been dubbed ‘the next Steven Gerrard’ over the years. Aaron Ramsey got the tag early on in his career, Dele Alli was supposed to be the reincarnation of the former Liverpool skipper but it wasn’t to be while there’s a strong belief that Birmingham City youngster Jude Bellingham is the long-term successor to the Whiston-born whirlwind’s crown.
The truth is, however, that Gerrard’s heir is already playing for the Reds. Trent Alexander-Arnold might not be the most …
Has Shaqiri been a success at Liverpool?
Jurgen Klopp has made a few signings that have come out of left field during his time as Liverpool manager.
Gini Wijnaldum is certainly one that stands out in that respect, seemingly appearing to be a needless addition, not to mention one who wasn't expected to be used as an understated midfielder.
The signing of Sadio Mane was also fairly surprising, believe it or not, at a time when Mario Gotze was the more fashionable alternative.
In the summer of …
