Michael Edwards - The Regeneration
For years, the director of football was a nuisance, an obstacle and a hinderance to most managers throughout the Premier League. The mere thought that any old school manager would need either help, guidance or another body to aid the club football was sneered upon, and often dismissed.
FSG have had their failings, that is not in doubt , yet it is the overall process from their tenure that should be applauded. They have learned, progressed, installed a working structure …
Divock Origi: One of the most curious LFC careers
Most Liverpool careers are easy to define.
Some are legendary figures who reach world-class levels for the Reds, some are great servants who rarely let the team down and others are disaster areas, to name just a few examples.
It is often simple to fit an individual into a certain category, using their back catalogue of performances as a perfect way to gauge them, but then there's someone like Divock Origi.
It looks highly likely that the Belgian will move …
Why might Liverpool want Raphinha
There’s been a lot of talk recently linking Liverpool with a move for Raphinha. Italian journalist Gianluigi Longari recently claimed the Reds were ‘leading the race’ ahead of Manchester United and Manchester City.
A lot of people have taken that with a pinch of salt. Why wouldn’t you? After all, why would an Italian journalist have inside information on a Brazilian potentially moving from one Premier League club to another?
However, Longari was one of the first to tweet about …
Liverpool Finish Season Third After Palace Win
Liverpool finished the Premier League season in third place after a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace at Anfield.
The Reds knew that they needed a win to secure Champions League qualification over one of Chelsea or Tottenham and they duly obliged thanks to a brace of goals from Sadio Mane and a dominant performance.
For the home team to finish third, just five points off second, in a season where they were decimated by injuries and plagued by misfortune, is …
Late Alisson Winner Keeps Liverpool's Champions League Hopes Alive
A late Alisson Becker winner secured Liverpool a last gasp 2-1 win against West Bromwich Albion that kept their Champions League qualification hopes alive.
Drawing 1-1 against a deep-sitting home team, the Reds won a corner in the fourth minute of the allotted extra time. Trent Alexander Arnold's corner was then met powerfully by the head of the Brazilian and the ball surged past Sam Johnstone for a goal that could be huge in the years to come.
West Brom …
Liverpool Keep Champions League Hopes Alive With Old Trafford Win
Liverpool kept their Champions League qualification hopes alive with a 4-2 victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford.
Chelsea losing at home to Arsenal last night boosted the Reds' chances of a top-four finish, provided they kept their good form alive and they duly obliged with a superb performance.
A brace from Roberto Firmino and further goals from Diogo Jota and Mohamed Salah sealed the win, a margin which could have been bigger if it wasn't for more VAR controversy. …
Mo Salah - What Next...?
Mohamed Salah, a player with two stints to his name within the Premier League, stands as a genuine world class player in the modern game. His personal goal record is phenomenal, his under-appreciation outside of Anfield equally so.
A player brought in to add firepower to the reds, with pace and goals from wide, delivered from the second he arrived. With a power shift of Christiano Ronaldo & Lionel Messi afoot, there are few players of Salah’s level on the …
New Mohamed Salah Contract Needs To Be Liverpool's #1 Priority
Mohamed Salah’s future at Liverpool has been speculated about frequently over the course of the last few months.
After Salah granted an interview to Spanish newspaper AS in December in which he didn’t immediately dismiss the prospect of one day playing for Real Madrid or Barcelona, many fans wondered whether the Egyptian was trying to engineer a move away from Anfield.
Others, however, including the Athletic’s Simon Hughes, are of the opinion that the Reds’ number 11 is keen to …
Liverpool Need To Think Big To Replace Divock Origi
By all accounts, Divock Origi's time at Liverpool will come to an end in this summer's transfer window.
After a brilliant end to the 2018/2019 season, where the Belgian had a telling hand in both the Reds qualifying for -- with two goals in the semi-final against Barcelona -- and winning -- the forward's goal put the finishing touches in the 2-0 victory over Spurs in the showpiece -- the Champions League, the 26-year-old has failed to recapture that form …
Ample Positives For Liverpool To Take Despite European Exit
Liverpool bowed out of the Champions League at the quarter-final stage after a 0-0 draw with Real Madrid at Anfield on Wednesday night.
Trailing 3-1 from the first leg, the Reds -- despite creating ample chances -- were unable to prize open the stubborn defence of the visitors and, for the second year running, they were eliminated from Europe by a Spanish team.
The defeat is obviously disappointing for Jurgen Klopp, the players and the fans alike, especially because it …
