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.

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, …
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 …
COVID-19 Tragedy and the Wacker, the Spirit of Scouse
I’ve had this piece in mind for weeks.
At first my head was full of jokes; how Corona has been with me all my life, from the Corona Lemonade we had as 80s kids, through to overpriced bottles of Corona pale ale and now this.
Coronavirus.
This isn’t funny anymore. It never was. The jokes rightly should fall on deaf ears.
This week and last we lost Stirling Moss, Honor Blackman and Tim-Brooke Taylor – all talented heroes of mine. …
Why hasn't Divock Origi kicked on from Madrid - and is Klopp to blame?
Not only did Divock Origi's goal in the Champions League final reaffirm Liverpool's status as European royalty it also provided the impetus for this season's title bid. However, one person the goal seems to have had the least impact on is the man who actually provided that moment of magic in Madrid. There's no doubting Origi will be remembered extremely fondly by Reds' fans having scored a countless number of important goals, but, you can't help but feel he hasn't …
Where would Steven Gerrard fit into this Liverpool team?
While it's practically impossible to improve on the kind of perfection that this Liverpool team has embodied over the last two year... it's always fun to fantasise, isn't it?
So with that being said, here's a Liverpool legend that might just fit into the greatest LFC side of our generation.
Steven Gerrard.
And before we get started, I don't think it's unfair to say that Captain Fantastic as he was so often referred to wouldn't fit into any of the …
This Means More
This Means More.
Liverpool Football Club has always been more than just a football club. It’s a community, it’s a club that engages with the fans and is supposed to care about the people in and around it.
This. Means. More.
When I first heard that Newcastle and Tottenham, two of the Premier League’s richer clubs, were furloughing their non-playing staff, asking the government to cover 80% of the money for their workers, so that Spurs and Newcastle didn’t have …
How Would Xabi Alonso Fit Into This Liverpool Team
While it’s practically impossible to improve on the kind of perfection that this Liverpool team has embodied over the last two years… It’s always fun to fantasise, isn’t it?
So with that being said, here’s a Liverpool legend might just fit into the greatest LFC side of our generation.
Currently the Reds possess a wide choice of midfield options with multiple players all capable of performing in specific roles – in terms of depth this is the strongest that the …
