Number Six Option for Liverpool
As we all wait to see our respective national teams undertake yet another batch of frustrating international friendlies, I will be looking at the next defensive midfield option that Liverpool may explore in the upcoming January transfer window. With my preferred target youngster, Lucas Gourna-Douath, addressed in an article earlier...
Quinten Timber's Premier League Prospects
In the bustling and ever-competitive world of football, Quinten Timber, the 22-year-old Feyenoord midfielder, has subtly yet assuredly marked his territory. With a skill set that allows him to navigate through various midfield roles, Timber has not only been a pivotal player in Feyenoord's impressive Eredivisie triumph last season but...
Liverpool's interest in acquiring Monaco midfielder Youssouf Fofana this Summer appears to remain, at least according to The Daily Mail. The Reds were the first Premier League club to express their admiration for the 24-year-old, followed by Chelsea's entrance into the fray. However, Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool continue to be in the mix.
A considerable part...
Liverpool’s 4-1 victory over Cardiff has sparked cause for optimism among its fanbase, not just because it’s the first time Liverpool have put four past an opposition this season – a feat that becomes something of a hobby for Klopp’s team last term.
No, it was also momentous for the full Premier League debut of...
Liverpool fans are dying to see more of their £39 million man Fabinho Tavares, with sightings of the imposing Brazilian still surprisingly rare after his summer switch from Monaco.
While everyone has been quick to quash any negativity surrounding his lack of game time, citing the arrivals of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Andrew Robertson as perfect...
Tonguy Ndombele
Lyon’s elegantly destructive central midfielder Tanguy Ndombele was called up to the French National Squad for the first time for this international break, and that comes off an extremely impressive 2018. After signing permanently for Lyon in the summer (for a meagre £10 million) after spending the 2017/18 season on loan there from...
Liverpool's midfield benefitted from £100m in investment over the summer with the surprise signing of Monaco's Fabinho, and the arrival of Naby Keita - signed from RBL last summer. However, with the injury to Oxlade-Chamberlain, we've still had to suffer through games with Gini Wijnaldum, James Milner and Jordan Henderson in the engine room.
As...
Patience isn’t a word that gets heeded much in the modern era of football.
Instant gratification has been normalised and expected, and signings are often cast aside as “flops” in as short a space as six months. And that’s fine because some signings don’t work. But, if one casts their mind back to the final...
Of all the coaching and man management attributes that see Jurgen Klopp rightly ranked amongst the elite managers in world football, patience is perhaps the German’s greatest virtue. A striking example of diligence is in the handling of his second most expensive Brazilian purchase of the summer, Fabinho.
Arriving from French club Monaco for the...
Having spent £40m on Fabinho this summer, some fans would’ve expected him to come straight into the starting eleven and offer a blanket to the back-four we’ve not seen since the days of Javier Mascherano.
Crunching into tackles and feeding the ball to his teammates higher up the pitch, his inclusion would bring Liverpool to...
