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 …
Key Points That Klopp Needs To Address In The World Cup Break
With the remaining Reds that won’t be heading to the World Cup in Qatar, it represents an opportunity to realign what has veered off course this year. Jurgen Klopp and Pep Lijnders will undoubtedly be laying out a route back to consistent success, and I think we would all like to see that old mentality, old drive, and much loved intensity return, when the Premier League resumes in late December.
These first team players are not boarding their national team's …
The Long Term Bobby Replacement
Roberto Firmino is perhaps the most loved player at Liverpool Football Club. His outlandish style, sublime moments of skill, and ability to work relentlessly, have seen him become a cult hero for the fanbase. The reality is how we replace the flamboyant Brazilian, if he doesn’t sign an extension of course. Bobby could well leave at the season's end for free, and if we are set on mass regeneration of the team, we cannot afford to ignore what he brings …
Tottenham 1 - 2 Liverpool - Premier League Man Of The Match
Tottenham 1 - 2 Liverpool - Premier League Man Of The Match
Mohamed Salah
A sensationally gifted and important player. His killer instincts killed off Spurs in the first half, and the point of the spear was as sharp as you could ever want.
With Nunez acting as the jagged edge, and Bobby the assured grip, this three man attack had some lovely and complimentary elements to it.
Mo showed everything he needed in that first half, and made the …
