Which Liverpool Players Would Benefit From A Loan
With the on-going saga surrounding new ownership, and the news regarding FSG being willing to listen to offers, it puts the next few months (for LFC) in the air. Presumably, varying conditions will need to be met in order to become viable owners, and I believe there is enough professional respect from John Henry that he will ensure the new ownership enhances the Reds' on-field objectives.
We are a squad that is beginning to age out, and despite some youthful …
What should Liverpool do with Neco Williams?
The international break is an issue for two reasons: first, there’s no football for what feels like forever. Second, people start to judge players on what they’re doing for their national team and then complain that they aren’t replicating these performances at club level. It happened with Gini Wijnaldum and it is now happening with Neco Williams.
A lot of the time it is tied to output.
This player is scoring and assisting for their country, why aren’t they scoring …
Euros Roundup of Liverpool Players in Action
Some Liverpool stars have been in action in the UEFA European Championship over the weekend. Let's take a quick look to see how they got on.
Williams and Wilson Progress
Wales internationals Neco Williams and Harry Wilson were both involved in their countries 1-0 defeat to Italy on Sunday evening. However, Wales did enough to finish second in the group on goal difference ahead of Switzerland and, thus, guaranteed qualification to the knockout stages.
Williams started at left-wing-back and played …
Liverpool defender says he is "learning new things everyday" despite tough season for Reds
Young Liverpool defender Neco Williams has taken this season to be another phase of the "learning curve" he is on as a player under Jürgen Klopp's tutelage.
Williams, 19, is the backup right-back for Liverpool, providing cover for the excellent Trent Alexander-Arnold. He has made 13 first-team appearances so far in 2020/21.
In an interview for Premier League Productions, Williams was asked about the experience he has gained this season and what he has learned from it:
"This season is …
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain: Trent's understudy
Trent Alexander-Arnold is a problem for Liverpool. A good one, but, nevertheless, a problem. He’s a unique right-back and it means that whenever he doesn’t start, there’s a noticeable drop-off in quality and quite a shift in style.
The 22-year-old came through the ranks as a midfielder and it’s why he’s so comfortable when tasked with being a playmaker. It’s not often you see a midfielder move to full-back. The usual path is ball-carrying winger to full-back, largely because full-backs …
Young Liverpool defender hopeful of more game time if Reds can progress further in FA Cup
Liverpool defender Neco Williams is hopeful of a long FA Cup run this season so he can benefit from potentially more game time with the first team.
Jurgen Klopp's side survived a first-half scare against Aston Villa's youth players last Friday night in the third round of the competition. Louie Barry beat Rhys Williams and Caoimhin Kelleher to make it 1-1 for at the half-time break at Villa Park. However, Liverpool's dominance showed in the second half as they ran …
Harvey Elliott Future Proofing Liverpool's Midfield
Liverpool's young players have won much acclaim this season.
Curtis Jones, Caoimhin Kelleher, Neco Williams, and Rhys Williams have all played a big part in the Reds' campaign -- probably owing to the injury crisis that has engulfed the first team and the opportunities it has given them to play -- so far and have done themselves proud with some strong performances.
Another Liverpool youngster -- albeit one who is out on loan -- is excelling this season is Blackburn …
Liverpool Tickle Wolves Bellies In Resounding Win
Liverpool moved back to joint first in the Premier League table with a thumping 4-0 victory over Wolves at Anfield.
Soundtracked by 2,000 fans on the Kop, the Reds were at their ruthless best and netted goals through Mohamed Salah, Georginio Wijnaldum, Joel Matip, and a Nelson Semedo own goal in an efficient performance.
To add more lustre to a goods night work, Trent Alexander Arnold and Naby Keita -- two recent injury absentees -- returned to the fold as …
Liverpool Academy Efficiency Highlighted in Ajax Win
With justification, Ajax are considered one of the best talent producing clubs in world football.
Footballing luminaries such as Johan Cruijff, Marco van Basten, Dennis Bergkamp and Wesley Sneijder, among many others, have cut their footballing teeth in the Amsterdam club's academy system.
But in Liverpool's 1-0 Champions League victory over Ajax last Tuesday, it was the Merseyside club's homegrown players who stood up and tilted the game in the favour of the Anfield team.
Caoimhin Kelleher, Curtis Jones and …
Henderson sings praises of team's young stars after impressive performances against Ajax
Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson was full of praise for the team's young stars after Tuesday night's Champions League win over Ajax at Anfield.
With Alisson Becker sustaining an injury, Jürgen Klopp made the brave decision to go with 22-year-old Caoimhin Kelleher in goals for The Reds instead of the more experienced Adrián.
In defence, Neco Williams, 19, started at right-back despite having a tough time in his previous few games. Curtis Jones, also just 19, played in midfield alongside Henderson …
