Is Trent Alexander-Arnold a generational talent?
Remember a few years back when Trent Alexander-Arnold had that one bad game against Manchester United? It’s the reason rival fans say the Liverpool right-back isn’t a good defender. Marcus Rashford netted twice and, if we’re being completely honest, Alexander-Arnold was flat-footed for the opener.
By no means was it entirely his fault but rivals fans needed something to latch onto and this was it. Since that day, he’s been labelled as a defensive risk. People choose to ignore his …

Wijnaldum has no doubts about young Liverpool star's ability
Gini Wijnaldum claims he has not been surprised by Rhian Brewster's red-hot goalscoring form in Liverpool's two pre-season friendlies.
Brewster came on as a substitute in The Reds' two games - the 3-0 win over VfB Stuttgart and the 2-2 draw with RB Salzburg. However, in roughly 80 minutes of action in those matches, Brewster has scored three goals. His two strikes to bring Liverpool back to level at 2-2 with RB Salzburg showed the youngster's fantastic eye for goal …
Klopp gives update on Virgil van Dijk injury
Jürgen Klopp insists there should "not be a problem" with Virgil van Dijk's head injury he suffered during Liverpool's 2-2 draw with Red Bull Salzburg.
Van Dijk went off early in the second half after receiving a head injury. He was replaced by young defender Nathaniel Phillips. Liverpool's number 4 was visibly bleeding from the cut to the right of his head. However, Klopp was quick to allay any potential fears Reds fans had about a long-term injury to the …

Liverpool defender Joe Gomez was discussing the intensity of The Reds' Austrian training camp and how preparations are going for the upcoming Premier League season.

Why Gini Wijnaldum is a Liverpool legend
Gini Wijnaldum doesn’t get the respect he deserves. He’s one of Jurgen Klopp’s most trusted players, he’s played a key part in Liverpool transitioning from top four hopefuls to Premier League winners and he’s the ultimate clutch player for the Reds.
Against Boro on the final day of the 2016/17 campaign, Wijnaldum bagged the opener just as it looked as though it might be a frustrating day for Liverpool in a game they needed to win. He also scored the …
Klopp "very, very happy" after Liverpool's first pre-season friendly against VfB Stuttgart
Liverpool manager Jürgen Klopp was happy with his side's 3-0 win over VfB Stuttgart in Austria on Saturday as The Reds continued their preparations for the new season.
Goals from Roberto Firmino, Naby Keïta and Rhian Brewster were enough to ensure a confidence-boosting win for Klopp's men against the German outfit. VfB Stuttgart had just won automatic promotion back to the Bundesliga at the end of the 2019/20 season.
Speaking to Liverpoolfc.com after the win, Klopp said:
"I'm very happy, …
Why Thiago Signing Could Make Perfect Liverpool Logistical Sense
The 2020/2021 fixtures were released last Thursday, the 20th of August.
Champions Liverpool begin their title defence at home to newly-promoted Leeds United, before travelling to Chelsea and hosting Arsenal at Anfield in game number three.
What is most noticeable, however, is how compressed the campaign -- which had to be readjusted due to the ongoing global pandemic putting a pause to last season -- will be.
Starting a month later than usual, in the middle of September, and ending, …
What makes Sadio Mane so special?
Sadio Mane is often overlooked. It’s not purposefully done and there’s nothing malicious in it, it’s just one of the downsides of playing in the best team in the world. Mohamed Salah’s ridiculous goal return sees him take centre stage more often than not. Virgil van Dijk is Virgil van Dijk. Alisson makes a monumental difference to the team so is regularly singled out while Jordan Henderson is now getting plenty of plaudits having lifted four trophies over a 12 …
Wijnaldum remembers tough start in his first season at the club when discussing early 2020/21 fixtures
Liverpool's Gini Wijnaldum sees similarities between The Reds' tough start to the 2020/21 Premier League season and the beginning of the 2016/17 campaign.
Wijnaldum just arrived at Liverpool in the summer of 2016 as one of Jürgen Klopp's first signings for the club. Liverpool were still completing the work on the new Main Stand at Anfield so had asked for permission to begin the season with three consecutive away fixtures.
Those games were at Arsenal, Burnley and Spurs with Liverpool …
