Fabio Carvalho: Summer Decision Pending

With the Reds getting back to winning ways in midweek, praise was rightly lavished on youngsters such as Harvey Elliott and Stefan Bajcetic for their performances. Fabio Carvalho worked hard on the night before his withdrawal, but didn’t really draw any focus or plaudits as such. It’s been a mixed season for the former...

Stefan Bajcetic: Fabinho’s Natural Heir?

Football fans can be guilty of going overboard about a gifted young player, talking him up and predicting great things, only for him not to match the hype and be forgotten about. Anyway, speaking of which: Stefan Bajcetic is a footballer of unbelievable potential - one who can become as good as Sergio Busquets! In all...

Tony Evans: John Henry Will Not Sell to a Repressive Government or “Unsuitable” Buyer

The hysteria over a potential takeover ramped up a notch this week. Rumours of a Qatari buyout spread like wildfire. Twitter was ablaze. The only problem was that no one whose knowledge is trustworthy seemed to know anything about it. Someone who is rarely wrong on these matters texted: “There is no buyer.” The follow-up message...

Liverpool v Chelsea – The Premier League Preview 

Amazingly, both sides come into this game on the back of a win. With each club experiencing a very poor season thus far, they seem intent on fighting for mid-table supremacy rather than the normal Champions League places. With a lunch time kick off this Saturday, there is probably going to be a rough...

Jurgen, it’s time to say goodbye

On October 8th, 2015 Jurgen Klopp become Liverpool's manager. He agreed to take over a team that was languishing in mid-table, with the squad desperately in need of reinvention, and a fanbase desperate for real success. He dubbed himself the normal one and talked about Liverpool being a special club. From humble beginnings with...

Brighton 3 – 0 Liverpool – The Post-Mortem 

‘I can’t remember a worse game. I mean all, not only Liverpool, I can’t remember’. Words expressed in Liverpool’s latest post-match press conference by beleaguered Liverpool manager, Jurgen Klopp. Not since the final days of Brendan Rodgers' reign have we seen such a continual poor showing from our team, with a drop off that is...

Lessons Learned: Brighton (A)

The irony of this weeks title eh? It seemed like Jurgen Klopp and his charges did the exact opposite as they delivered their worst performance of the season against Brighton in a game that left any top four hopes hanging by a thread. Fair play to those fans who stayed until the end as...

Liverpool must address midfield NOW, or risk writing off the season.

Next Summer FC. This has seemingly been the mantra for Liverpool in the last couple of years, "Oh next summer they'll do this, next summer they'll do that". This past summer was meant to be the summer we saw something of a rebuild. Instead, they signed one first-team player in Darwin Nunez. After the promise...

Tony Evans: The Narrative Surrounding Naby Keita is Ludicrous

The best quality a footballer can have is availability. It doesn’t matter how good you are if you can’t play. Daniel Sturridge might have been the best English striker of the previous decade but he didn’t get onto the pitch enough. Harry Kane would not have been close to becoming England’s leading goalscorer if...

Time To Start Naby Keïta

Simon Brundish retweeted something on Tuesday, stating a very high win percentage for the games where Naby Keïta has started in recent years. I am a big fan of the little Guinean international, whereas much of the fanbase has become dissatisfied with his inability to stay fit. Last season saw him make forty appearances...
