Liverpool's Defensive Concerns: Konate's Availability in Question
In the lead-up to Liverpool's upcoming match against Newcastle, there's been a cloud of uncertainty surrounding Ibrahima Konate's participation. The Reds' defensive line-up, which has been a topic of discussion throughout the summer transfer window, faces another potential challenge.
The Role of Centre-Backs in Liverpool's Strategy
Liverpool's tactical evolution has...
Thuram, Gravenberch, Kone, Veiga, etc etc. The usual names, the usual lists and the usual focus as Liverpool look to revamp their side over the summer and particularly the midfield. Completely understandable after the largely dismal showing of the 22/23 season. However, whilst the Reds have always apparently planned ‘two to three windows ahead’,...
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Ibrahima Konate will return to the squad as Liverpool host Tottenham, while hopes are Diogo Jota has avoided injury.
Across the last four games, Klopp has only made one change to his starting lineup, that being the omission of Konate for Wednesday’s 2-1 win at West Ham.
The Frenchman was left out...
Liverpool’s recent upturn in form has coincided with the adjustments to the role of Trent Alexander-Arnold and it’s natural this has been the main talking point in the last few games.

There are some who may lazily look at Thiago and...
Liverpool need a quick and effective start to the second half of the season, of that there’s no doubt. The margin for error is flirting with the non-existent, as the race for the top four looks like being as competitive as ever. To ensure the ‘minimum expectation’ as Jurgen Klopp defined it is that...
There are a couple of shocking things about Trent Alexander-Arnold this season. The first is that England barely used him in their World Cup campaign in Qatar. The other is that he has no Premier League assists more than a third of the way through the season.
The whole assist thing is not completely trustworthy....
Time really flies when you're having fun, and so does the 8 minutes of stoppage time when any country is trailing in the World Cup. The group stage is now all wrapped up in Qatar, and it's certainly been full of surprises. Australia, South Korea, Poland, and Morocco all surprised the world and got...
Time flies by. Each team in Qatar has already played two matches, and some fates have already been decided. Qatar and Canada crashed out early while England and Brazil are now guaranteed a spot in the knockout stages. Ghana bested South Korea in a Match of the Tournament contender, while the US held England...
