The sons of football legends carry enough pressure to begin with. History tells us it’s a ‘mixed bag’ when it comes to their varying levels of success. Giovanni Simeone, Federico Chiesa and Justin Kluivert are well known within the game and have played at the highest level. On the other side, the likes of...
The football authorities have developed this unhappy knack of taking something special and ruining it. Generally, it’s in pursuit of money. The World Cup is a perfect example.
Switching focus from the domestic season to a tournament and back again in a six-week period doesn’t work. In a World Cup summer, the season ends, there’s...
Young Reds midfielder Curtis Jones has become the latest player to commit his long term future to the club. In a season where we will probably be bidding farewell to Naby Keita, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and James Milner, Julian Ward and Jurgen Klopp clearly felt this was an asset that needed securing. A new four...
If and when FSG sell Liverpool Football Club, their prime motivation (beyond securing a maximum return on their investment) should be to leave the club in a position where it is financially able to compete with other clubs in a way they simply can't right now.Â

The Liverpool FC buyout saga has rumbled on, and much of the fanbase will be quietly (or not so quietly) compiling their own dream teams for the new ownership to go and buy. There are of course my own wants and desires, and I would love the Reds to be as competitive as possible,...
A win is a win, and to sign off for the mid-season World Cup break with three points is a massive bonus for everything Liverpool FC related.

In the lead up to any Premier League game, the managers of the two teams are required to attend a pre-game press conference. With Southampton primed to head to Anfield this past Saturday, the Liverpool manager seemed to take the opportunity to share some thoughts on the Reds' transfer strategy. Whereas we were all...
It maybe apt that we are focusing on ‘the who’ specifically (maybe one for the dads there), but there was plenty to digest on the back of Liverpool’s third round passage in the Carabao Cup against Derby. Jurgen Klopp utilised the entire spectrum of his squad with experienced internationals, squad players, youth talents and...
November 10th saw United best Villa in a six goal thriller, and the release of six world cup squads! England, Poland, Germany, Cameroon, Belgium, and Morocco all released their team sheets. Chief among the headlines for Liverpool is that Jordan Henderson and Trent Alexander-Arnold have both been included for the Three Lions! Alexander-Arnold will...
The dreams of FSG haters are about to be fulfilled. It was always just a matter of time. You know the saying, though. Be careful what you wish for. It might come true.
