The New Playmaker: Alexander-Arnold's Impact on Liverpool
Trent Alexander-Arnold: The Versatility of a Liverpool Heartbeat
Embracing a New Role
In a recent internee with James Pearce of The Athletic, Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold explained how he received a unique proposal from his manager, Jurgen Klopp. A day shy of welcoming Premier League leaders Arsenal to their fortress at Anfield, Liverpool was in dire straits. An exit from the Champions League at the hands of Real Madrid and a dismal league performance begged for a tactical resurrection, a shift …
Bradley's Rise: Teen Prodigy Gunning for Liverpool First-Team
Right, gather round folks, because we've got a tasty morsel of news for you: Liverpool are apparently plotting to catapult young Conor Bradley into the first-team mix this summer, after the lad's been having a right old knees-up on loan at Bolton Wanderers.
The Athletic has been whispering in our ears that the Reds are keen to pop the 19-year-old starlet into Jurgen Klopp's squad during pre-season this summer. Word on the street is that Bradley's being eyed as a …

Even left-back is a little more mysterious and cool, due to left-footed players …
Clyne and Gomez - Positions Boxed Off?
It may only be three matches into their Liverpool careers but things couldn't have started much better for Anfield new boys Nathaniel Clyne and Joe Gomez.
Three matches. Three clean sheets. Zero defensive errors leading to a shot by the opposition. This is quite a contrast to the team that ended last season conceding six goals to Stoke with the defence looking all at sea.

Nathaniel Clyne - Should Liverpool Be In-Clyne'd?
The typical joke of “shopping in Southampton” is pretty understandable.
