Liverpool’s Joe Gomez to undergo surgery

Liverpool confirmed this morning that young defender Joe Gomez will undergo surgery on the lower-leg fracture he suffered in The Reds' 3-1 win at Burnley back in early December.

Should Liverpool Have Signed a Defender in January?

Well, yes. As it stands right now, Joe Gomez’s injury cloud has only darkened – perhaps turning into a dreaded storm cloud should his spell on the sidelines span further than Liverpool’s tie against Bayern Munich in February – and Liverpool are still without an actual right-back. All while still remaining firmly on top of the...

Key Points in Liverpool’s Title Challenge

It wasn't the result we were all hoping for against Leicester at Anfield. In the wake of an unexpected slip-up from City, the snowy, sub-zero Merseyside night presented a perfect opportunity for Liverpool to further freeze out their nearest title rivals by moving seven points clear at the top. It wasn't to be, and a 1-1...

Shaqiri Failing Test as Regular Starter for Liverpool

Liverpool were always going to drop points against a non-top-six side eventually, simply by the law of averages. To have almost reached February before succumbing to one of the Premier League's so-called 'lesser' outfits really is an achievement to be proud of. Think about how long ago August was and what you were doing back then....

However, what Mane brings to this side is something which very few attacking players in world football could offer. Whether he's playing on...
