Is Mohamed Salah the best player in world football?

For the best part of 20 years, Lionel Messi has been the best player in the world. The likes of Luis Suarez, Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar, Robert Lewandowski and even Gareth Bale have all been in contention for the second-best player in the world title at various times, but they’ve never eclipsed the Argentine maestro, not in my opinion anyway. A few have gotten close, but I can’t recall any of them surpassing the legendary Barcelona forward over an entire 12 …

Expect More Coaching Than Chequebook from Liverpool in January

January has arrived, which means another transfer window and Liverpool being the subject of multiple links that stretch the imagination. It is click-bait season for certain sections of the media and it serves to feed the frenzy of some fans, as they piece together a Liverpool XI based on players that the tabloids picked out of a hat.

These are the same guys who were licking their lips at us having signed Jurgen Klopp in October, and given him a contract until 2022, at the beginning of this month. To put it simply then, they were excited about Klopp without knowing …
Jürgen Klopp and the Parallels of his Past

Jürgen Klopp and the Parallels of his Past

Jürgen Klopp is not at Liverpool for a quick fix and there is a probably a high proportion of fans that need to understand that. Klopp is not a Jose Mourinho – a short term, high spend, career manager looking for the next club to add to his CV. That’s not to degrade Mourinho’s career achievements, he’s good at what he does and there are clubs that look for that kind of style. Liverpool however, are a club that have …
FSG Have Failed to Deliver

FSG Have Failed to Deliver

If ever there was a headline to cause debate this is it. No doubt many will read the title of this piece and either strongly agree or disagree without reading the bloody article. In the last few years I have strongly defended FSG and also given them heavy criticism. There are things they have done very well and things they have done very poorly. Let’s begin with the positives. On 15th October 2010, much to all our relief, FSG, then …
Can Liverpool really compete for Lewandowski?

Can Liverpool really compete for Lewandowski?

Robert Lewandowski was the top marksman in the Bundesliga again with an incredible 30 league goals in 32 games for Bayern Munich. The 27 year-old striker has his critics in certain quarters but he is a true world class player at the top of his game. There is no doubt Lewandowski is reaching the peak of his powers as his record for club and country illustrates. The lethal centre forward was the top scorer in Euro 2016 qualifying with a …
Can Piotr Zielinski Become Klopp’s Latest Polish Sensation?

Can Piotr Zielinski Become Klopp’s Latest Polish Sensation?

There is something special between Polish players and Jurgen Klopp. Lukas Piszczek, Jakub Błaszczykowski, Robert Lewandowski all have developed into great players under the guidance of the former Dortmund boss and all of them have been relatively unknown figures within the football world before they joined him at Westfalenstadion. With Liverpool now being heavily linked with a  move for Empoli's Piotr Zielinski in the summer, Reds fans will certainly be hoping that Klopp will be able to do his magic and help another Polish player rise …
