Five Potential Attackers to Backup Liverpool's Main Men
Christian Pulisic
Dortmund’s American sensation, Christian Pulisic has been on the radar of Liverpool (and Klopp) for a while now. Just nineteen and already laboured with shouldering the burdens of club and country, he’s certainly got experience beyond his years.
Still raw and unrefined, Pulisic’s sublime dribbling ability is the first thing that stands out whenever he gets on the ball. Alongside that, however is the tendency to come up big when it matters, such as the winner he scored …
Losing Phil Coutinho is Inevitable
“Liverpool will never progress if they keep selling their best players”.We’ve all heard this argument before. And on many levels, it has merit. How could you possibly hope to improve if you are forever losing your best player? How can you be strong when you are continually weakening your team? And what a weakening it would be, because to lose Phil Coutinho is to lose arguably the most gifted player in the Premier League. Sure, there will …
Sadio Manè - Catch Me, If You Can
One ingredient missing from Liverpool's attack in recent years is raw unadulterated pace. With the £30 million signing of Sadio Manè, from Southampton, he brings this essential, game changing ability to this side. It was clear Jürgen Klopp was looking for an attacker who provided pace, with Ousmane Dembele and Leroy Sane strongly scouted, but ultimately it was the fleet footed Sadio Manè who was signed. Eyebrows were understandably raised about yet another player targeted from Southampton, yet I feel …
Can the Attack Fire Liverpool into the Top 4?
The Liverpool Echo, more specifically James Pearce, recently published an article informing Liverpool fans that Jurgen Klopp no longer had an interest in Bayern Munich's Mario Gotze and he was happy with his attacking options moving forward into the new season.
Given the Reds were looking to bring in Monaco's Kylian Mbappe and Rennes' Ousmane Dembele it does strike me as odd that after only one attacking signing coming in so far this Summer in Sadio Mane, and with Jordon …
Liverpool Supporters: Price Tag Over Talent
Summer transfer window.
It’s that time of the year when Liverpool fans are in a state of hysteria. In fact, throughout the calendar year, Liverpool Football Club are constantly linked to players probably more than any other football club. LFC has been an easy target for ITKs, agents, and small media outlets. But just how easy is it for them to manage traffic and clicks? Sam McGuire has brilliantly focused on that topic here.
Fans from almost every football club …
Lallana in Limbo?
One of the key reasons Nivea linked up with Liverpool. Maybe. An integral part of the #Handsomepool movement the club is currently in the clutches of. Interview extraordinaire. Since signing in the Summer of 2014 Adam Lallana has managed to establish a cult like following amongst the fan base more due to his off the field work as opposed to his on the field performances.
He joined the club with a £25 million price tag placed firmly on his shoulders. …
Options a-plenty for Klopp in search for wide-man
Jurgen Klopp wants to buy a goal-scoring winger. He hasn't told me this personally, nor has he said it publicly, but based on his targeting of Leroy Sane, Ousmane Dembele and possibly Mario Gotze and Sadio Mane, it seems a certainty that Klopp wants to add more goals into the trio who play behind his lone striker.
Sane was the first player linked with the Reds after Klopp took over but very quickly, and rather strangely, his supposed asking price sky-rocketed …
Alternatives to Dortmund-Bound Ousmane Dembele
It was announced today, 12th May, that Liverpool target Ousmane Dembele had agreed to join Borussia Dortmund in the summer. The attacker, who only really made his breakthrough in November for Rennes, tore Ligue 1 apart and after only a few weeks it would have been easier, and quicker, to name which of Europe's elite clubs weren't looking at this kid.
Those unfamiliar with the player won't see missing out on him as such a loss but your writer, possibly …
Player Profiling is Key to a Successful Summer for Liverpool
The transfer window, and the weeks leading up to it, is football fans' equivalent of Christmas as a child. Mystique surrounds the bi-yearly event. The hours spent talking about players you'd sign for your club becomes relevant. Reassurance, vindication and acknowledgement is up for grabs, if Liverpool sign a player you've put a case forward for then it's a kind of pat on the back we, humans, crave deep down. A kind of 'ha, my suggestions aren't that crazy after …
The Champions League Isn't Needed for LFC to Strengthen
Lucky number Slevin is a good film. If you haven't already seen it then you should put aside two hours of your life and give it a watch. There will be no spoilers in this piece but the plot is built around a con named 'The Kansas City Shuffle'. It's hard to really put into words what this con revolves around but Wikipedia does it's best -
In order for a confidence game to be a "Kansas City Shuffle" the …
