Will Wilson and Ojo will have to find careers elsewhere?
Harry Wilson and Sheyi Ojo are in career purgatory after spending yet another season on loan away from Anfield. Both players were deemed top talents by Liverpool’s hierarchy, but due to the vast talent, Jurgen Klopp has at his disposal neither Wilson nor Ojo have been able to break into the first team. As a result, Wilson and Ojo were both dispatched to Cardiff City for the campaign.
For the former it was a drop-down, having spent the previous term …
Allez, Allez, Allez! At Ann Arbor
On Saturday, Liverpool capped off their USA tour with a matchup against the hated Manchester United in front of over 100,000 fans at the Big House in Ann Arbor, Michigan. While it may have just been a preseason friendly between two teams missing several first-team players, it was more than a meaningless game. For starters, there is no such thing as a “friendly” between Liverpool and United. That was evident not only from the back and forth banter amongst the …
Liverpool's Old Guard Barely Hanging On
For Liverpool supporters, transfers can never come fast enough. We always want to push that revolving door a little faster until we find a combination of players that starts filling up the trophy cabinet again.
However, glance at the squad from 2013/14 season, just four years ago and you’ll notice that only a few faces remain.
The crocked club captain; Jordan Henderson.
The want-away striker; Daniel Sturridge.
The freshly sentenced right back; Jon Flanagan.
And the benched ‘keeper; Simon Mignolet.

A Look At Jurgen Klopp's Use Of Rotation This Season
The success of finishing inside the top 4 comes with the prestige of playing in Europe’s top competition - The Champions League – being in the competition means you are competing against the best and means better players have more of a chance of joining because you are partaking. The cons of being in the Champions League are the amount of extra games you must play in a season, many credit the lack of European competition as to why Chelsea …
Why Liverpool's Young Talent Are Unlikely To Succeed
A lot of discussion in pre-season has been made of Liverpool’s young talents, and how much they are likely to feature for the club next season. But the sad truth is that the majority of them simply have no future at Liverpool Football Club, and it’s okay to admit that.
Looking at the current clutch of young players, and focusing specifically on those who have been in and around the first team, or have been touted as such, there is …
5 Players In Need Of A Loan Move This Summer
Liverpool are set for a crucial summer transfer window with quality additions needed to get the squad ready to fight on all fronts ahead of a new campaign. Mohamed Salah has started the trend, making the move from AS Roma in a £36.9million deal.
The ex-Chelsea man’s high-profile move sees him as the club’s new record transfer, replacing Andy Carroll, much to the delight of the fan base. Plenty more players are expected to pose for the infamous Melwood lean, …
Crucial Summer Ahead for Sheyi Ojo
Liverpool youngster Sheyi Ojo is set for a defining summer after undergoing a disappointing 2016/17 campaign that saw him fail to establish himself under Jurgen Klopp.
Breaking through the ranks in 2015/16, Ojo has since drifted between Liverpool’s Under-23's and the first team setup – though predominantly in terms of training rather than appearances.
Despite lots of hype about what he could offer the side, the 19-year-old has struggled to establish a role for himself during Klopp’s first season at …
An improvement but still not a successful season for Liverpool
Liverpool's win over Middlesborough ensured that the Reds returned to the Champions league for only the second time since 2009, how times have changed ayy. So with Champions league qualification confirmed how should this season be looked upon? There is no doubting the importance of CL football, without it due to Liverpool's wage structure we would've had very little chance of recruiting our top transfer targets such as Virgil Van Dijk and Naby Keita. However, can this season really be …
Are the Kids All Right for Liverpool?
Steve McManaman, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Jamie Carragher, Steven Gerrard and Raheem Sterling. Six names that invoke differing opinions amongst Liverpool fans, but whatever their legacy, those six names are the only ones to have come through the youth academy system and successfully establish themselves as first team regulars during the Premier League era.
There have been others, such as Dominic Matteo, Martin Kelly and Jon Flanagan who have had spells in the first team, but never really established themselves …
Sadio Mané's Absence and Liverpool FC's Options
Sadio Mané has been a surprise blessing for many Liverpool fans. Despite his inconsistencies from past seasons still being seen in shades thus far, the Senegalese wide-player has been a great addition to Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool side. Needless to say, he’s gone beyond proving himself to the Anfield faithful, many of whom had doubts of varying degrees with consideration to his price tag and especially given that he’s yet another Southampton recruit.
In the next couple of weeks, Mane heads …
