Sometimes problems can stare you in the face no matter how much you may want to ignore them. There’s been plenty of examples this season for Jurgen Klopp and Liverpool. As the weeks and games go by, it’s becoming increasingly impossible to bury any concerns Reds may have around Fabinho. Too many games have...
Jordan Henderson has a new autobiography out. It will make for interesting reading.
Henderson is the most misunderstood and maligned player of the FSG era. He was bought for a position where he was rarely used. Kenny Dalglish envisioned him and Stewart Downing pinging crosses in for Andy Carroll but it never happened. Why? Luis...
Erling Haaland
Kylian Mbappe
Diego Costa
David Silva
Yevhen Konoplyanka
Sergio Aguero
Bruno Fernandes
Matteus Nunes
Saul Niguez
Aurélien Tchouaméni
Timo Werner
The above listed players represents an extended list of Liverpool targets, that never actually signed for the Merseyside club. This is purely a list off the top my head and would’ve been based around social media speculation, back-page transfer news, and...
Another week, another poor Liverpool performance. How has this team fallen so far? From chasing an unprecedented quadruple to losing to the team who entered and ended the weekend bottom of the league. Liverpool lost four matches in all of last season. Four defeats in 63 games. This season couldn't be more different. In...
Little did we know an Alberto Moreno ankle injury during a 7-0 win over Spartak Moscow would turn out to be the best thing to ever happen to Liverpool's left flank. Moreno's ankle injury made way for ex-Hull City man Andrew Robertson, who quickly impressed, and continued impressing, and eventually just took Moreno's job...
When Michael Edwards handed in his notice last year, I immediately saw it as an elite Sporting Director not being backed by his ownership. For any structurally organised sporting entity, success must be garnered a Ross all levels for the on field situations to succeed. Michael Edwards became a wizard of both buying and...
When Jurgen Klopp joined Liverpool, I think it was only he and Carlo Ancelotti that were in the running for the Anfield hot seat. In appointing the big German, we made the absolute right call, and his talents suited our needs perfectly. A fallen giant needed massive overhaul, and the playing staff needed a...
“How did you go bankrupt?"
Two ways. Gradually, then suddenly.”
Ernest Hemingway, The Sun Also Rises, 1926.
As with bankruptcy so with football. So with Liverpool.
This season feels “suddenly”. It feels all at once. It feels unexpected. This team just four months ago were very close to a quadruple. They then deservedly won the Community Shield in what...
Like a bolt from the blue, Fabinho arrived for £40m from Monaco. It was a deal that none of the so called ITK’s saw coming, and it was a move that the Reds' midfield desperately needed. Not since Javier Mascherano had Liverpool been able to field an elite CDM, but in Fabinho that wrong...
Another week in the life of Liverpool. Some places exist in a perpetual state of newsiness. Anfield is one of them. The win over Manchester City was uplifting but events off the field were dispiriting. The behaviour of City fans was reprehensible but their club’s response was even worse. The reaction from the Etihad...
