A Deeper Look into Jorg Schmadtke’s Transfer History

Liverpool look set to appoint Jorg Schmadtke as the club's new Sporting Director when Julian Ward leaves the club at the end of the season. It's safe to say that the upcoming summer transfer window is huge for the Reds as they look to rebuild their squad and look to get back to competing for...

A Rafa & Jürgen Combined Eleven…

News will continue to circulate, with LFC-related transfer rumours now a daily part of a Liverpool supporter’s life. The ongoing transition in our squad will now be overseen by the mildly controversial Jorg Schmadtke, who has just been appointed as our new Sporting Director. It is unclear whether he is merely an extension of...

Lessons Learned Versus Leicester

Seven wins on the bounce. It seems mad to say that and still be saying that the Champions League is unlikely. That being said, Liverpool were a league above an abject Leicester City which looks like it will be the case come the end of the season. Again the negative side to this is...

Scouting Report: Ron-Robert Zieler

Liverpool’s goalkeeping situation is a fascinating one just now. Allison Becker is the clear number one whilst there are question marks about number two Caoimhin Kelleher’s long-term future with numerous Premier League clubs circling. With Adrian’s contract set to expire and no renewal talks set to take place, Jurgen Klopp will naturally be seeking...

Arsenal and Liverpool: Different Shades of Football Pain

Arsenal fans might think they know how Liverpool fans felt, but they don’t. They can’t. During the 2018/19 campaign, the Reds lost once. They won 30 of their 38 matches and ended the season with a nine-match winning run. Jurgen Klopp’s side amassed 97 points and conceded the fewest number of goals (22) yet still...

Should Trent Move into Midfield Full Time?

Most of the Liverpool fanbase have been impatiently waiting all season, hoping that Jürgen Klopp would push Trent Alexander Arnold into a new midfield position. Many of us assumed it would be either a right-wing spot or as the RCM in a typical 4-3-3. Unlike in the summer (when the Pepijn Lijnders and Klopp...

Scouting Report: Aurelien Tchouameni

Sometimes in life it’s a case of coulda, woulda, shoulda but it just doesn’t happen for whatever reason. It’s irrelevant to keep talking about it but that’s what happens with some people. In football terms, it’s an easy situation for journalists to keep luring in a fanbase that doesn’t quite realise it and even...

Leicester v Liverpool – PL Preview

I spoke about how the previous weekend could offer all sorts of Champions League qualification hope, dependent on how certain results played out. With Liverpool now sitting four points behind Manchester United, it has set up a brilliantly poised final leg of this Premier League campaign. On the flip side, Leicester City are fighting...

Scouting Report: Jean-Clair Todibo

Liverpool’s defensive situation is a fluid one and there may well be more than one departure with the futures of Joe Gomez and Joel Matip under the spotlight. With Trent Alexander-Arnold's positional tweak in a new 3-2-2-3 and question marks around Robertson and Tsimikas’s suitability, it seems certain that at least one arrival will...

Sometimes John Henry Forgets He’s Got A Football Club

Mason Mount? The 24-year-old’s name keeps coming up whenever Liverpool’s summer transfer strategy is discussed. There’s a solid link with the Chelsea player. Is he a good fit? Having seen a fair amount of him, I’m not so sure. What exactly is his position? He’s not really a midfielder. Nor an out-and-out forward. He isn’t...
