Mo Salah – The World’s Greatest in Waiting

At 29 years of age, Mohamed Salah stands as one of the five or six best forwards in world football. His goal return since becoming a red is simply phenomenal. 126 goals in 204 games is world class, and with much still to come, we could be about to see him evolve into the...

Diogo Jota: Is he ready to replace Roberto Firmino?

Diogo Jota has a bit of a knack for not particularly playing that well but managing to find the back of the net. It is a handy trait to have.  He did just that against Norwich City in Liverpool’s season opener, scoring the first as the Reds romped to what was a relatively straightforward 3-0...

Ben Davies – A loan Is Ideal

For a only a few players, they will (if they’re lucky) get that one offer to join a huge club, perhaps throughout their entire career. With Philippe Coutinho, it was Barcelona, for Craig Bellamy it was Liverpool, and even the returning Robbie Fowler was an exciting player for Rafa. Some moves you simply cannot...

The importance of Virgil Van Dijk

Earlier on in pre-season, Liverpool journalists claimed Ibrahima Konate was likely going to start the season alongside Joel Matip in defence. It was something of a surprise to see Virgil van Dijk named alongside the former Schalke man in the starting XI against Norwich City on Saturday. He'd come through the friendlies unscathed but it...

When Is The Right Time To Sign a Forward

Diogo Jota, Mohamed Salah, Sadie Mane, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, Marco Reus. Above are just some of the former undervalued assets, or former prospects that were able to reach the pinnacle of football. All have three things in common, Jürgen Klopp being a link to all. 1 - Before their move to a Jürgen Klopp’s side, each was...

Have Liverpool Learned Their Lesson in the Transfer Market?

For 30 years Liverpool tried their best to reclaim the top spot as England's number one club. Fans would be left heartbroken as some silly purchases aimed at strengthening the squad only failed. There were a few title challenges but they always faded away. The club could only watch on in envy as their...

Liverpool Now The Favourites to Sign Renato Sanches

Liverpool may have had a quiet summer transfer period so far, but all of that could be set to change. This is because there are ongoing rumours that Renato Sanches could be on his way to Anfield. The Portuguese midfielder is one of the hottest properties on the European transfer market, and Liverpool are currently...

A winning start in the Premier League is crucial for Liverpool: can they do it?

It's been a month since Gianluigi Donnarumma dived to save Bukayo Saka’s penalty, denying England the chance to win the Euros. In truth, the whole of the 2020 Euro Championships seems a lifetime ago now, and even the celebrations in Rome have finally died down. Indeed, an expectant hush has fallen over the football world...

Why Liverpool need to sell Xherdan Shaqiri

  Liverpool now need to sell Xherdan Shaqiri. Previously, it felt as though this was more of a want. Well, not even that. It was more along the line of the club not being against cashing in on the Swizterland international if a decent enough bid was received.  There’d be a report every summer claiming £20million...

Liverpool’s Divock Origi conundrum

The Divock Origi situation is interesting.  Liverpool are believed to want £20million for the Belgium international. Interested clubs are reluctant to go that high, with Wolves reportedly willing to pay £10million for the 26-year-old.  On one hand, clubs know he’s not part of the first-team picture at Anfield having made just two Premier League starts last...
