Sometimes John Henry Forgets He's Got A Football Club
Mason Mount? The 24-year-old’s name keeps coming up whenever Liverpool’s summer transfer strategy is discussed. There’s a solid link with the Chelsea player.
Is he a good fit? Having seen a fair amount of him, I’m not so sure. What exactly is his position? He’s not really a midfielder. Nor an out-and-out forward. He isn’t a No 10.
What have Jurgen Klopp and what’s left of the recruitment department seen? I suppose the best way to look at it is …

This mini-series of articles will look at which players should stay at Anfield next season and which of the current squad should be moved on.

What on earth is Alexander-Arnold doing at Centre-Forward!?
One of the more peculiar sights for fans of the Reds this season has been the sporadic emergence of Trent Alexander-Arnold popping up in positions that would usually be expected of a centre-forward. There has been a lot of discussion on the merits of this trend, how it effects other players on the team, whether it suits the Scouse right-backs talents, and if is a net positive or negative effect on the team. It’s hard to give definitive answers to …
Matt Smith: January Transfer Window and Liverpool FC Q & A
With the January transfer window around the corner and Liverpool returning to action shortly, we’re trying to leave no stone unturned. With that in mind, we managed to catch up with a fellow red and famous BT Football presenter Matt Smith. As a multi-lingual man of many talents and connections, we asked Matt for his take on transfers and how he sees the season so far. Matt, thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions it’s much appreciated. …
Liverpool Players Who Could Break Into The Euro 2024 England Squad
With England having successfully dispatched Iran 6-2 in their opening game, it gave the nation a spirited start to an otherwise strange World Cup tournament. The winter break seems bizarre, the one love arm band debate is on going, but in between we saw the three lions turn out a pretty ruthless and efficient display.
With a few grumblings over the initial squad selection by Garth Southgate, that subject can now be shelved, and allow for the group stage matches …
What should Liverpool do with Naby Keita?
Naby Keita was supposed to be a game-changer for Liverpool. Courted by many of Europe’s elite after an eye-catching debut campaign with RB Leipzig, it was viewed as a coup when the Reds managed to strike a deal with the Bundesliga side to secure his signature. The agreement saw the midfield dynamo remain in Germany for another year. It was a necessary evil to ensure the club beat out interest from Bayern Munich and Barcelona.
However, that extra year in …
Who should be Roberto Firmino's understudy?
Heading into this transfer window, there was hope Liverpool would bring in a traditional centre-forward. Someone who could not only fill in for Roberto Firmino but maybe also play alongside him. A player who might’ve been able to give the Reds a bit more of a Plan B. Maybe even someone who might be the one to kickstart the next evolution of this team.
The window is still open for a while, but there are no suggestions that this is …
End of the road for Naby and Ox at Liverpool?
Well that's that for another season.
Liverpool managed to salvage their campaign in impressive fashion, producing an unlikely 10-game unbeaten streak and somehow finishing third in the Premier League.
From looking like Europa League football was a guarantee next season, and a return to bleak Thursday nights, Jurgen Klopp's side showed their monstrous mentality, standing tall and displaying great resilience.
While positivity is now in the air, Liverpool cannot afford to rest on their laurels, with another important summer transfer …
The truth behind Liverpool’s drought
Liverpool’s goal drought never really bothered me. Some went to the extreme, claiming the system had been found out and Jurgen Klopp needed to make wholesale changes to get them firing again. In truth, it was a mixture of bad luck and bad finishing. I wrote about it in detail for work.
The Reds had the chances, but they kept falling to the wrong players. Liverpool’s system and success is built on ensuring certain players get the volume required to …
Versatile Oxlade-Chamberlain Could Offer Liverpool Right-Back Solution
Jurgen Klopp loves versatile players.
Whether it is James Milner, who can cover midfield or either full-back slot, or Fabinho, who is comfortable at both centre half and defensive midfield, the German places great stock in players who can cover multiple positions.
With a bigger list of injuries than an army hospital, Liverpool will need to rotate aplenty in the upcoming period of games and turn and to players to fill in in areas that they aren't overly familiar with. …
