Raphinha & The Need For More Options

None of us really know which way Liverpool’s summer transfer plans will sway, with the ITK’s and journalists scrambling & guessing away, name after name. Nobody knows the true plans of Jurgen Klopp & Michael Edwards, so to look at potential candidates for probable positions will have to suffice, for now. With Harvey Elliott possibly...

Huge chance for Naby Keita to prove his worth at Liverpool

It's fair to say Naby Keita's Liverpool career has been a disappointing one. There have been sporadic good moments thrown in, whether it be eye-catching performances, silky dribbles or relentless presses, but he hasn't come close to reaching the heights expected of him. When Keita sealed a move to Liverpool from RB Leipzig in 2017, the...

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...

Curtis Jones – The Next Step

There have been many young Liverpool players that were primed to make it to the top, however the list of players that actually make it is rather short. Liverpool cannot simply blood youth and maintain levels, thus the domestic cups and throwaway Champions League games are used to give minutes to certain players. Trent Alexander...

Why Harvey Elliott might be a better fit in midfield

Everyone just assumed Harvey Elliott would be the long-term replacement for Mohamed Salah. I imagine it is because both are left-footed and both are better when they’re allowed to cut inside from the right.  However, Elliott impressed in midfield during a pre-season friendly, with Salah deployed in his usual right-wing role. Klopp praised the youngster...

Naby Keïta – Last Chance Saloon

When the vacant number 8 shirt was reassigned to the little Guinean (Naby Keïta), it was another sign of Liverpool shopping from close to the top shelf. Naby, when playing under the RB umbrella of first Salzburg and then Leipzig, signed on amidst much competition. The main rival to his signature appeared to be Bayern...

Adrián – An Easy Signing

Liverpool FC have maybe the best goalkeeper in world football right now, alongside Jan Oblak. There isn’t a feasible means of signing a competing back up, therefore a blend of both promising youth & experience makes up the keeping unit at Liverpool. This seems to be a dynamic that works best for Alisson Becker,...

Two of Liverpool’s Early-Season Fixtures Rescheduled

Liverpool have two more early-season fixtures rearranged for TV broadcast reasons in September as the new Premier League season approaches. The Reds' two away fixtures in September - at Leeds and at Brentford - have been rescheduled. As stated on the official club site: The trip to Elland Road will now kick-off at 4.30pm on Sunday, September...

Does Liverpool’s salary model need to change?

The transfer market is changing and it’s been on the cards for a while now. Players are running down their deals in a bid to get bigger contracts elsewhere. We haven’t entered the American sports market realm yet, but we can’t be far away from it. In the near future,  transfer fees will be a...

Why Andy Robertson is Undroppable

When Andy Robertson was signed from newly relegated Hull City, there was a collective air of uncertainty. The left back spot had become (like so many other positions when Klopp arrived) a problem one. With Albert Moreno being swapped in and out with James Milner prior to Robbo’s signing, it was certainly an area...
