Luka Sučić & The Need for New Blood
It’s no surprise to see another player being linked that has been through the corridors of either RB Salzburg or Leipzig’s footballing machine. Despite having a recruiting model that was once so fruitful, our ability to regenerate our tired empire sees us once more looking towards their own roster of players. It’s clear that there will be a combination of expensive and smart signings (this summer), therefore the lesser known quantities may not be Jude alternatives as feared, but merely …
Could Diogo Jota Become the Odd Man Out?
A few reports surfaced on Wednesday that had Newcastle perhaps interested in making an offer for Liverpool forward, Diogo Jota. The Magpies are looking to accelerate the growth of their footballing enterprise, making some very good acquisitions since their change in ownership. Eddie Howe has invested well thus far, with a clear intention to create a defensively solid foundation. Sven Botman and Bruno Guimarães stand out as brilliant additions, whilst Kieran Trippier has brought in a good level of experience …
Goodbye, Bobby: The poster boy of the Jurgen Klopp era
So, the Roberto Firmino era at Liverpool is coming to an end. Yep, I'm in floods of tears, too.
Last week, the Reds' brilliant Brazilian announced that he wouldn't be signing a new deal at Anfield this summer, with the news met with much sadness by many.
Firmino's world-class talents may have waned since the title-winning 2019/20 season, with the freshness in his legs and all-round impact deserting him, but he remains adored by the fanbase.
From a purely nostalgic …
Cody Gakpo - Our Diamond Player to Replace Bobby
In a recent article from a few weeks back, I stated that I saw Cody Gakpo as a return to the false nine. I get the feeling that the ultra-attacking system (that was in mind last summer), is now making way for a more trusted and positional savvy system. As I have said before, when every team was deploying a low block, it allowed all of our influential assets to express themselves freely. With Fulham taking the game to us …
Lessons Learned in the Demolishing of Manchester United
What a time to be alive. No-one, whatever they actually claim could have predicted what was to come on a Sunday afternoon that left us with sore heads on a Monday morning. It’s great to be able to say it - Liverpool embarrassed, humiliated and annihilated Manchester United. Seven-Nil still sounds incredible to be able to say out loud and even more amazing when you think we’d only scored one when the referee blew for half-time. We look at the …
Firmino: The Long Goodbye Before The Painful Farwell
“If you watch the game, you don’t see Firmino. If you watch Firmino, you see the whole game.” Many Reds' favourite player of the Jurgen Klopp-era and a true Liverpool Legend, it’s been confirmed our number nine will finally depart at the end of the season. There’ll not be a dry eye in the house when the best in the world finally leaves the Anfield stage, but so begins the final act. Whilst it does hurt and it’s the start …
If Joyce is Right, Change Needed to Keep It Tight
For all the questions that Jurgen Klopp answers at the press conferences from reporters or articles from patch journalists, there appears no way of stopping some Reds reacting to every word written or uttered. None more than the ever reliable Paul Joyce of The Times, whose most recent report stated that Liverpool’s business is done unless ‘an incredible opportunity presents itself’ sent social media into overdrive. If that is the case and it doesn’t materialise, then certain changes seem needed …
Liverpool v Leicester - The Premier League Preview
With one game won and two to go, the Christmas Premier League fixture list has started very well for the Reds. After a successful Boxing Day trip to Villa Park, Jurgen Klopp will now be hoping to heap further misery on former Liverpool manager, Brendan Rodgers, as Friday will see his Leicester side travel to Anfield for a game under those famous lights.
Leicester’s last game saw them taken apart at home to big spending Newcastle United, with a 0-3 …
Tony Evans: Henderson Haters Could Put Bellingham Off Signing For Liverpool
The love-in between Jordan Henderson and Jude Bellingham is sending exciting signals to Liverpool fans. The Borussia Dortmund midfielder would clearly fit into the Anfield dressing room with ease.
Bellingham is good. If Liverpool can bring the 19-year-old to Merseyside next summer it will be a coup. All the noises coming from Qatar and Germany suggest there’s a good chance it might happen.
What could put Bellingham off? A huge offer from Manchester City or Real Madrid might make the …
Contract Rebel Central Midfielders To Target In the Summer Of 2023
We haven’t even gotten into the January transfer window yet, but with any elite and proactive sporting group, forward thinking is vital for future success. Though FSG haven’t backed the big midfield redevelopment, I think we can be hopeful that the next few windows will produce more positive results.
This coming summer will see the contracts of the below players end, and therefore need replacing.
Naby Keita
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
James Milner
Bobby Firmino
At this stage no fees will be …
