Curtis Jones Should Be Next In Line
On so many occasions this season we have seen our Liverpool team stumble to either a disappointing or disastrous result. The recent dropping of Naby Keita has clearly left the Guinean international staring adoringly at the exit door. We know that both he and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain will be leaving (when their contracts expire in the summer), therefore it is understandable that he may be feeling less than committed.
To continue to trust in the legs of a 37-year-old Milner …
The Reason We Love Klopp Could Be His Undoing
I loved Kenny Dalglish because he was the King, whilst I was all in on Souness because of his Liverpool heritage, until that went very wrong. Roy Evans was a joyful figure that brought a wonderful feel to our football, before Gérard Houllier became the man that delivered a bucket load of silverware. Rafael Benítez was a manger that I adored, with his Champions League win, until the disappointment within Brendan Rodgers’ & Roy Hodgson’s reigns. It was not until …
Which Liverpool Players Should Make Way for The Regeneration?
The worse this Liverpool team gets, the more likely there will be wholesale changes within the club. I don’t think the manager is a certainty to start next season in our dugout, but there are many players I would rather see leave before our illustrious German coach. Klopp has recently dismissed the notion of being too loyal, so time will only tell whether he will have the conviction, to pull the trigger on certain individuals within his playing squad. His …
Crystal Palace 0 - 0 Liverpool - The Post-Mortem
Yesterday I ordered a new thermos to take with me when I am out and about, to add to the three or four vessels of insulated coffee that accompany me on my varying journeys. At some point during the second half, I started checking the different foods and soups I could place within my 750ml companion, with Amazon primed to deliver my order on Sunday. That was the highlight of this particular game for me, in a re-run of the …
Should James Milner Get Another Contract?
For much of the season (and especially this last week), there have been rumblings that James Milner could be offered yet another one year extension. Having just turned 37-years of age, the Leeds born footballer defies all common sense in his continuing ability to represent an elite level club. However you regard his current or recent output, he is still a player that can produce good moments on a football pitch, yet it is perhaps his all-round contribution that is …
Is Milner Still a Key Man at Anfield?
James Milner is one of the most experienced players in world football. He may be 37 these days and coming to the end of his illustrious career, but the former England international still has a lot to offer for Liverpool in the coming months.
In June 2022, Milner signed a one-year contract extension at Anfield, which comes to an end this summer. Having made his debut as a 16-year-old way back in 2002, Milner has had quite the career at …
Liverpool must address midfield NOW, or risk writing off the season.
Next Summer FC.
This has seemingly been the mantra for Liverpool in the last couple of years, "Oh next summer they'll do this, next summer they'll do that". This past summer was meant to be the summer we saw something of a rebuild. Instead, they signed one first-team player in Darwin Nunez. After the promise of significant spending Nunes and two youngsters were what Liverpool mustered, alongside the loan arrival of Arthur Melo. For a net spend of less than …
Tony Evans: The Narrative Surrounding Naby Keita is Ludicrous
The best quality a footballer can have is availability. It doesn’t matter how good you are if you can’t play. Daniel Sturridge might have been the best English striker of the previous decade but he didn’t get onto the pitch enough. Harry Kane would not have been close to becoming England’s leading goalscorer if Sturridge would have been robust.
And so to Naby Keita. There were so many high hopes for the 27-year-old and so many disappointments. Rail all you …
Can Naby Secure His Liverpool Future and Stop the Reds Bleeding Money
Can Naby Secure His Reds Future and Stop the Reds Bleeding Money
On the 10th February next year Naby Keïta will turn 28-years of age, which should signify the peak moment of his footballing career. His arrival from RB Leipzig was supposed to see Steven Gerrard’s famous number 8 rightfully deployed, with the little Guineans' signing seen as a major coup for the Reds. The following four and a half years have been sporadic however, with the injuries and absentees …
What on earth is Alexander-Arnold doing at Centre-Forward!?
One of the more peculiar sights for fans of the Reds this season has been the sporadic emergence of Trent Alexander-Arnold popping up in positions that would usually be expected of a centre-forward. There has been a lot of discussion on the merits of this trend, how it effects other players on the team, whether it suits the Scouse right-backs talents, and if is a net positive or negative effect on the team. It’s hard to give definitive answers to …
