‘I don’t know exactly how it is at other clubs, but we have to be really cautious and very serious. So I don’t know what we can and what we can’t do’. Whether it’s smoke and mirrors or Jurgen Klopp keeping his powder dry, the likelihood of a centre-half being pulled out the hat appears […]
Not that you would know it from looking at the Premier League table, or Champions League group table for that matter, but Liverpool have been hamstrung by injuries to central defenders this season. Both Virgil van Dijk and Joe Gomez — two of Jurgen Klopp’s key defensive lieutenants — will miss most of, if not […]
Liverpool remain top of the Premier League table by three points after their 1-1 draw with West Bromwich Albion at Anfield. Sadio Mane gave the Reds the lead in the first half, but Semi Ajayi equalized for Sam Allardyce’s men in the second half with a glancing header from a corner. Overall, the defending champions […]
After a seemingly huge victory against José Mourinho’s Spurs side on Wednesday night, Liverpool travelled to quiet Selhurst Park on a cold Saturday morning, warmed by the comforting knowledge that a win would establish a six-point lead over Spurs, even if only for a few hours. The quick turnaround between fixtures saw Jürgen Klopp make […]
Roger Ibañez is the latest centre-back to be linked with a move to Liverpool. According to reports in Italy, the 22-year-old is available for around the £35million mark and Roma are open to cashing in on him, despite him not yet officially being a Giallorossi player. The Brazilian signed for the capital club in January […]
Curtis Jones’ meteoric rise continued last Wednesday as the youngster played a vital role in Liverpool’s 2-1 top of the table victory over Spurs at Anfield.

This extraordinary season continues to surprise us all. On Thursday night, Spurs travelled to Anfield, atop the Premier League. Notwithstanding the champions’ 65 match unbeaten run in the league at home, Anfield has been a particularly unwelcoming place for the visitors in recent years. Especially for their manager, José Mourinho, a man who has attracted […]
Injuries to the defence have hampered Liverpool so far this season, even if it has barely shown on the respective Premier League and Champions League tables. An injury sustained by Virgil van Dijk in the Merseyside derby was the beginning of a run of rotten luck with injuries that is unprecedented in its scale in […]
Lille tend to be shrewd operators in the transfer market, especially when it comes to selling. Yet the feeling was they’d allowed Gabriel Magalhães to leave the club for a knockdown price having only pocketed £27million for the in-demand centre-back. Liverpool, Chelsea and Everton had all been linked with the Brazilian but it was Arsenal who […]
Liverpool moved to the summit of the Premier League table after beating Tottenham Hotspurs 2-1 in the first versus second clash at Anfield. Heung Min Son had equalised for the uber defensive visitors after a deflected Mohamed Salah strike gave the Reds a more than deserved lead. Then, in stoppage time at the end of […]
