After being strongly linked with Mahmoud Dahoud many Liverpool supporters assumed the Reds wanted to bring in an orthodox centre-midfielder as opposed to a versatile, jack of all trades master of none type. The signing of Newcastle's Dutch International Gini Wijnaldum caught fans off guard. There's nothing orthodox about the new Liverpool no 5...
…Well, at least for now.
Ever since the armband was awaiting its new bearer, the whole captaincy dilemma has spiked every time something happens on or off the field. When Jordan Henderson was announced as captain by the then-manager, Brendan Rodgers, the decision came under heavy scrutiny as Henderson is despised by a section of...
Please don’t mistake this for a lack of ambition or some kind of attempt to make excuses for an expectation of failure, but I think as fans of Liverpool, we should not get too hung up about this season and place everything on it. Allow me to elaborate.

For months now, perhaps even years, we analyse our team’s strength and weaknesses and form an opinion on what type of player we should target in the upcoming transfer window to bolster our squad, and there was always a constant figure in the equation, a defensive midfielder. Someone who is just a mad bastard in...
The most omnipresent of all the biases that affect fantasy football managers is their support for their own club. The temptation to load up your team with the maximum number of players from your club, or to optimistically, naively, hope for upturns in form is an affliction that only the most stubbornly ambitious managers overcome.

French media outlet Le Parisien broke the news on Wednesday evening that Liverpool were reportedly interested in bringing Aston Villa's left-back Jordan Amavi to Anfield.
